There have been some really great suggestions over the past 4 days! So a bit about our decision process. First, we have some internal names developed. Most of them suck pretty bad, so it’s unlikely they’ll get chosen.
Next, we’ve retained a branding firm, which has come up with 12 names, 5 of which we really like. On Friday we asked them to take another pass because we like the direction and some of the names, but we’d like to see what else they can come up with.
At 11 am tomorrow we’ll hear back from the firm. At noon, I’m buying the team lunch and kicking around the names you’ve provided along with the internal ones and the branding firm ones.
Sometime in the afternoon tomorrow, we’ll choose the name, and if it’s yours, bells will ring throughout the land and we’ll cut you a check.
I want to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness and creativity–some really great choices. Naming is one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through. And my guess is we’ll still end up naming it something that’s not perfect, just pretty good. I’m ok with that–the love of the product creates affection and respect for the name, not the other way around.
I do hope you’ll download and try the software!
Thanks. You can keep suggesting until 11 am Tuesday EST.
