My first reaction to the name "blobly" is ... yuck. Can you explain how you got the name?

How about something more straightforward, like:

Captured

Moments

etc

Hehe will i do hope in time it grows on you.

We all can agree that naming your product is tough. Especially when registering a domain for it. I initially went with the name "SympleMe.com" but I didn't like having to explain to people that there are two "y"s in the word simply. Time spent explaining about the incorrect spelling could've been spent talking about the actual product. I chose Blobly because well A) I love it :) B) the word "BLOB" stems from a technical term and I felt like it was very fitting for this product.

Agreed. razor, you should brainstorm and change your branding. That is not a good name. It's not even particularly pronounceable.

Your voices have been heard.

I'll definitely consider it and see if there's something I can come up with. For now it's Blobly. ;)
