Ask HN, on startup naming. We need some input

Posted by TreBerd on Friday August 24, 2012 @11:18AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Our startup is simple- we provide a mobile app for apartment residents to message the staff, receive updates/events/alerts, message their neighbors, and pay rent. Very simple, but we already have 15 complexes that are using it. With our demo days in less than a month (Flashpoint@ GT), what do we call this? We are simply out of ideas. :(

Hmm, throw a few words out that you use when selling to the complexes? First names that come to mind are :-

Concierge, ApartmentSuper, ComplexSimple, TowerBlock

I could easily generate a list for you guys to consider. Email is in my profile.

You could go for abstract or literal, but don't mix the two. Read guide to naming your startup: http://jonpolygon.com/2011/07/guide-to-naming-your-startup/

Instead of a Noun which sound quite static, Verb will let the users engage in action. My take: RunApt, EngageBlock, DoComplex, CondoDo.
