Even if has no problem with copyright I fail to see how naming something like this the same name as a very popular product can do anything except make it harder to find. Nobody's ever going to find this thing in Google unless they go through pages of results about Amazon's product.

So what if he was his uncle? People are named after their uncles. Alexander II ruled well before the birth of Alexander III (during the boyhood of his father in fact) and would have been a perfectly logical namesake.

I really don't understand why chatting is supposed to be a better interface for something like that. Tinder blew up because they innovated the simplest possible UI. The UI here is broken, notice that after the second "like" the user would have had to scroll up to like another one. Or they would have to memorize some chat commands like "main menu" or "more women".

Alexander II was Alexander (III) the Great's uncle.
