I have to agree. wefwef is original and easy to search for. Voyager is going to get lost in a sea of voyagers (pun intended). Matrix/Element had the same problem every time they changed names and chose generic words.

I'd have gone for Wiff Waff, the original name of Ping Pong:

It is open source, it is self-hostable - host it yourself, name it as you like. Depending on the OS/Launcher, you can also just rename the PWA. Multiple options, all almost as easy as just complaining, but they will yield better results.

I hated the WefWef name with a passion. Saying it aloud sounded like a sick puppy barking. I love the Voyager name for mass-appeal reasons.

What if it had been woofwoof?
