I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

Comment below!

wefwef is unique, easy to remember and easy to type. If you search for it, it’s already on page 1.

You hit all the markers for a good brand. That will be hard to recreate with an ancient god name.

Keep it.

No, I like the name wefwef! It is a perfectly fine name, it's unique to your project, granting you immediate recogniza- and googlability, and honestly, I don't understand most people advocating for a change. God forbid we had an app or service name that was a bit fun and unique for once! No, let's change the project name just as it's getting popular, confusing everyone and hurting your Google rank, just to have another bland and boring name instead that's completely forgettable and shared by hundreds of other things! Are most of these commenters, like, 12, and still at an age where it's very very important that your friends perceive you as using only what's a child's idea of "cool" stuff? I honestly can't think of any other reason. Name it Awesome Monster App then!

So, no, in short keep it at wefwef! Lowercase and fun pronunciation and all! And for next year's April Fool's, announce a big name change, and then reveal that name to be "weewee", just to fuck with all the haters. Wefwef is the best app/service name in years!

Just my two cents.

I think wefwef is a silly name and I’m surprised that so many people in the comment section like it, because I find the name to be cringeworthy (sorry).

But of course, I will still continue to use this app regardless of what it’s called, just like I still use DuckDuckGo as my search engine, despite it having a ridiculous name lol.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

[-] Opacity9850@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wefwef ftw!

[-] irkli@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is a great name! It's unique, short, doesn't seem to mean anything else (does it?) and names like "connect" are useless in app stores or searches.

[-] popemichael@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like the name, to be honest

[-] radiated@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How about Fluffy for Lemmy

[-] imrichyouknow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

wefwef is decent, it's already got some tractions and recognitions, the SEO is already there as well. The logo on the other hand can use some works.

Voyager, Vger 🖖, Delphi

[-] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like wefwef it is unique, fitting and you already have brand requisition.

Voyager is fine but extremely generic and quite boring. You also have to fight for search results with a lot bigger and more famous players sharing the name.

[-] bw1pjxzj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Voyager sounds too generic. I like Wefwef

[-] Icebound_Woof@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Another vote for a new name here. Voyager For Lemmy is good, but anything else also works. Recommending "WefWef" out loud to anyone is just silly, especially in other languages.

[-] talou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

wefwef is memorizable, but I'd like to know what it stands for

i like wefwef

[-] blue_zephyr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes god yes! Anything but wefwef lol. Voyager sounds great.

[-] Mdamon41@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think a bigger concern would be that Voyager already exists as a Crypto App with a significant amount of downloads.

In the spirit of Apollo, other possible names could be Artemis, Soyuz, Phoebus, Orion, Helios, etc. There’s no shortage of space programs/deities to pick from.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Artemis is already taken by the kbin/lemmy app formerly known as kmoon

Voyager goes well with the influx of refugees needing a new home

[-] Melkor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't see anything wrong with wefwef, it just looks like a modern nonsense brand-word and easy to remember too. My wife commented that it reminded her of WOOF from the office

[-] isthisthingon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Team wefwef represent! Uniqueness is hard to come by. Let’s not blend into everything else by changing it!

[-] Linkandluke@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wefwef is a silly name - sent by wefwef

[-] bpoiesz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Voyager is vastly superior as a name. I’m on wefwef right now, but the name did make me immediately question it :)

Otherwise awesome client so far!

Reddit is a dumb name. Silly/dumb names work IMO.
