Thanks for your feedback. I agree about the name being weird; I lost a coin flip contest to my partner on name choice so I assumed it and getting use to it.

Don't settle on that name because of a coin flip. :P
I've looked at that name for a minute now and not only do I not know how to pronounce it, I don't know how I'd tell someone about it without having to spell it out, which makes it very easy to forget.
Something like decorefind.com is available. That's easy to remember.

I don't know, the name is already notorious...
Yeah... if you're already being referenced as having a worse brand name than cuil/knol, a name change is necessary.
Thanks, we’ll definitely work on this.
just to let you know, there's a very populous county in Ohio named Cuyahoga, pronounced somewhat closely to your name. at first i thought it was a regional search just based on the name. you might want to take that into consideration
I live in Cuyahoga County now and I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Yet, the name never reminded me of the word "Cuyahoga." Weird. I was surprised to see that someone else made that connection.
Chalk that up to:
1) 2004 election
2) the Pretenders' "My City Was Gone" -- which mentions someone coming back to Cuyahoga Falls and seeing her farmtown subsumed by the city. Also, it's Rush Limbaugh's theme song.
