First, THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to this process! It’s been hell for us, but the last 5 days have been a complete joy becuase of you and your great ideas here.
I especially want to throw shout outs to Craig Lauer, who is a big influencer here at the company (freelance but for a long, long time) and has really shaped a lot of the product and language around it. Also, Charles Wilson had some great names.
I personally liked Worksy–cute, fun, and will make a great product name for someone. Thanks, Tiffani. Ed Westin had some cool entries, as did Jasper and James David. Jason was relentless; my favorite of his was Fester, just for the Addams Family reference.
JBDean had flair for the functional, and Prajjwal won some fans with “IceCRM”, pronounced “ice cream”. Michael reminded us of works, works, works with about 20 entries; I liked Lucid from Walter, but one of our criteria was that we wanted the URL. Patrick’s Hermes was popular with one of our developers, Tony, who likes Greek mythology but conceded that we need to be a bit more mainstream.
Craigs’ SimpleWorkDay was one of my favorite’s as well, but Pink Girly won my support for EllaBellaU simply for the fun of it. (U for Umbrella or University, unsure).
We also hired a branding expert–PureTungsten.com. I read a number of Phil’s articles last week. Phil had a number that we liked–he’s really quite thoughtful and good.
