I would like to ask for an opinion of native speakers. I am in a process of creation of an application that allows a user to choose (or make a selection) from a predefined long list of options.

I need to find a name for the application - e.g. something like YourChoices or YourSelections. What sounds better or is linguistically more correct?


I found this so far:


A choice is what you make from an available selection.
A selection defines available choices.

A choice may be a personal selection without pressure
An option gives little choice between that which is offered


In other words - if you have some available choices or a selection, what you choose or select from it?


Thanks for an advice.
 
Both suggest to me that they are the choices that the person has made and not the ones that are available to them. I would Options instead.
