I don't think that is an atomicapp.

I would do something like the following:

projectatomic/gitlab-centos7-atomicapp      -> 
projectatomic/gitlab-centos7-atomicapp
projectatomic/guestbookgo-app               -> 
projectatomic/guestbookgo-atomicapp
projectatomic/helloapache                   -> 
projectatomic/apache-centos7-atomicapp
projectatomic/mariadb-centos7-atomicapp     -> 
projectatomic/mariadb-centos7-atomicapp
projectatomic/mysql-centos7-atomicapp       -> 
projectatomic/mysql-centos7-atomicapp
projectatomic/redis-centos7-atomicapp       -> 
projectatomic/redis-centos7-atomicapp
projectatomic/skydns-atomicapp              -> 
projectatomic/skydns-atomicapp
projectatomic/wordpress-centos7-atomicapp   -> 
projectatomic/wordpress-centos7-atomicapp

Basically if the underlying containers are built on base images then 
include that in the
name. If built out of bare containers (like guestbook and skydns, then 
don't include it).

Another option is to remove centos completely from the name..

Another thing is that as we go "projectatomic" will probably have more 
containers released
so we may want to move to a different toplevel name at some point 
"atomicapp" or
"nulecule" both come to mind.

Thoughts?
