In terms of names it's the GoDaddy of search engines.

Except GoDaddy actively tries to maintain that perception, while I don’t see DuckDuckGo doing the same.

GoDaddy manages to seem even more of a cheesy web 1.0 company than they are because of the name. It's like a TV ad company for the whole family, not something a programmer would find pleasing to behold.

I thought it was more of a sleaze connotation than a family one.

There's just something about "Daddy" in a company name I can't get over.

To me GoDaddy always sounded like the moniker a pimp would use.
