"Gigo" also is an acronym for "garbage in, garbage out." So you may want to rethink your name.

I suppose "GIGO" could be an edgy and cynically funny name for accounting software (or other kinds of data capture and analysis tools), especially if targeted at non-accountants.
But I don't know whether a real accountant, who might someday have to review/correct records captured by this software, would approve of a cavalier-looking name in a professional context.

Ack.
I acknowledge that the name could lead to misunderstanding.
Actually, the name is supposed to be a play on 'gig' (as in, a synonym for side project). I'm planning on rebranding it so it's more 'gig-o books' than 'gigo books'.
Thanks for the heads up, though.
