You might be right. My focus wasn't on the name; I just wanted to create something useful for my day-to-day job and share it with others. The goal was never to commercialize the product … so maybe that’s why the name was bad!

He may be referring to the fact that it could be pronounced Auschwitz. I must admit, my immediate thought on reading the name was "why would someone name their app after a concentration camp?"

wow, I learned something new today

I had the same reaction. Even just a hyphen between like aws-viz would probably do wonders.

Yes I think any minor tweak would remove the effect. awsvizul, vizaws, awsvista.

It’s just a bit too on the nose at present.

This is also what I immediately saw and heard also.

yes, I immediately thought that the pronunciation was Auschwitz...
