Reddit is a dumb name. Silly/dumb names work IMO.
wefwef
wefwef is now Voyager! Subscribe to [email protected].
But then how am I going to remember World Economic Forum World Economic Forum?
Voyager sounds safer overall, but wefwef is cute and should be kept somewhere
Voyager is fine, although Wef Wef is such a nice, unique name I actually love it a lot.
I do like the name Voyager however, for me I'm reminded of the failed crypto service with the same name.
Wefwef ftw!
I don't think should is the right word. I personally don't like the name much as it somehow sounds just off-putting to me (it doesn't read like a puppy sound, maybe because I am not a native English speaker). And there is clearly something to it as this is the only app where people are discussing changing the name. Even Jerboa seems to be safe from it even though the name sounds a bit weird.
Voyager seems way nicer and professional to me.
I have no problem with wefwef (although, yes, if it was supposed to read like a puppy sound I didn't get that at all), but if you change it I would not go with Voyager since it is too generic. If you google that, you get lots of hits already (mostly NASA and Star Trek, on my end), so it may make it harder for people to find it?
I honestly don’t care what it’s called. I have no idea what wefwef means or even how to pronounce it. I appreciate the work done to make it for us though.
I don’t many Wefwef. I’ve heard much worse.
That said, if you are going to change it, do it now and move on.
~~But wouldn't that damage your.. brand recognition, so to speak? When someone doesn't know you've changed your name and therefore can't find you, they'll assume you don't exist anymore.~~
Nvm all that, they'll learn. ;)
Voyager sounds way, way better than Wefwef, plus it's in the same theme as Apollo, so that's great!
NCC-1701. No bloody A, B, C, or D.
I guess I should have come up with a Voyager reference. My mind went to Star Trek ships
Someone already owns voyager.com - naming a product can be difficult these days as most common names are taken.
Voyager sounds too generic. I like Wefwef
I like Voyager. Definitely prefer that to the current name.
Voyager sounds like an excellent name mate, much easier to tell new people. "hey Reddit is shit, download voyager instead"
Another GrecoRoman god (in the style of Apollo, as an homage)?
I would love to have it as Voyager, because the app seems to be Apollo's spiritual successor so might as well embrace the identity. Also, seeing that there are concerns that Voyager is taken by X or Y the simple addition of LM to the name should make distinct and free from any attachments. So:
Voyager LM
I cast my vote
Maybe look and see whether there are other apps by the name first to avoid collision. Seems likely to be a common name.
I like the name wefwef reminds me of a cute dog barking at me.
+1 for Voyager, things are still young and evolving.
