"Right... until someone else creates another Elixir project called Lumen."

That's obviously a problem then - never argued it isn't ever a problem, your argument is a straw man whether you realize it or not.

Nope, I'm not accusing you of saying that isn't a problem. I'm merely demonstrating that a problem starts at some number of keywords. I understand that your argument is that the problem starts at two keywords (in this case) not one. Correct?

Would you care to respond to why you think users will know to type "exixir" when they search for "lumen", or why you think that "lumen" is a good marketing term? All you've done is misuderstood one small part of what I said: you haven't actually responded to the other 3/4 of what I said.

Why is "Apple" a good brand name? A brand is what you make of it.

It makes no sense for users to hear about "Elixir Lumen" from outside the Elixir crowd - so if they search for "lumen" and don't see the result, if they're paying attention and have minimal competency using search engines, then they'd type in "lumen elixir" to find correct result.
