Hey, thank you for noticing our name! We were initially named Pizdata which literally means "fucking amazing" in Ukrainian (where we are originally from).

We got a lot of local hype, word of mouth clients and even became an internet meme in Romania (where it has a very different meaning). Decided to change a name because of international clients not getting the joke (right after we tested early hypothesis).

Awesomic has the same meaning – "awesome on a cosmic level", by Urban Dictionary.

Here's a blog post where I described effect of such an aggressive naming – http://awesomic.io/blog/startup-journey-to-100-k
