Interesting. From a Spanish point of view, it could also mean "tomo / no tomo" (take, don't take), which is borderline sensible

Out of interest, what does it mean / reference?

Reduce it to "tonomo" or "notomo" then.
Also beware of extreme reduction, as "tonto" means "stupid" in Spanish.
("notomo" means "Idon'tdrink" in Spanish, but that's less obvious)

Thanks for the feedback Sir. I have changed the representation of the name to make it more readable.
As someone who speaks Japanese and instantly understood what the name meant, I agree. This is an absurd name to use for an American/Western dating site. I can't see myself mentioning this site to my friends.
