I don't much care for the name either, but in the long run, I don't think it matters much. "Google" doesn't sound very serious, "Yahoo" speaks for itself. "Micro" "soft" has been the butt of jokes for a while. Unix is a pretty awful name in its own right. And so on and so forth...

I think more than a few founders here are in denial about their companies' ridiculous names, but whatever, it's not my fight. Hey guys, if modding down my (polite, reasonable) comments makes you feel better about naming your company something a 3-year-old would laugh at, have at it.

[edit: the having-at-it has commenced all right, but are people really defending these crappy names? I might come across as an asshole but I am actually serious here - I think these names are awful! I think they are costing otherwise good companies customers! What is wrong with telling the founder community to try harder?]

Your initial comment said it would be a "cold day in hell" before you used Woobius and that the name was "utterly stupid." That's an interesting interpretation of polite and reasonable.

I suppose I could have said the name is "suboptimal" or something but why beat about the bush?

"You're ugly and stupid!!! I'm not being mean, those are simply the facts!"

So, she's free, then ..? :D
