How is the name of the site pronounced? “Mah-wim-ball”?

Google’s name was so ubiquitous it became a verb, Duck Duck Go is a smart memorable name.

Mwmbl is a challenging product name, even if the .org domain name was available.

This particular letter-sequence is an extremely unfortunate choice and should be reconsidered imho.

Why not call it Mumble then?

I was also confused by the name. That's not necessarily a good first impression.
