Choice or selection?
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.

I would worry less about the subtle differences in meaning and go for appearance and how easy it is to say, type, and remember. And what about 'YourOptions'? --'YourCall'?
