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!
What about Artemis? the name of the new NASA moon missions
Since those and this app are a spiritual successor to Apollo
Voyager sounds good to me!
Wefwef ftw!
Voyager is great!
I also like the idea of “shuttle” because that’s the program that came after Apollo in NASA.
wefwef is memorizable, but I’d like to know what it stands for
I’d like to know what it stands for
literally nothing. It’s a name I came up with out of pure laziness: it’s where my fingers rest on the keyboard and I can type it one-handed 😂
Time to retcon a meaning for it now, if you’re going to keep it. I’m really enjoying using it and the name is incidental, but I love a good invented mythology too.
This alone already counts as lore!
I’d appreciate a new name, but now I’m conflicted.
I feel the same way, liked the sound of Voyager but wefwef has a better back story. Wefwef is also more unique.
Yeah but try saying it out loud, then imagine trying to recommend it to someone. They’re gonna think you just barked at them.
I like the name, to be honest
1st vote would be Phoebus
2nd would be Voyager.I think wefwef is original and fun. Keep it!
i like wefwef
Apollo went by many different names if you wanna go down that route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Greco-Roman_epithets
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.
Very true. The name is instantly recognisable, that’s important
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
I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.
The verbal part is probably my biggest gripe about wefwef. I love it otherwise.
I don’t like wefwef, mostly because of that (and how it looks like a sex term), but while Voyager sounds cool it has no uniqueness. And while it’s nice to reference Apollo, the entire design already does, the name doesn’t need to. That said I back “LEM” since it does relate, and also relates to Lemmy.
why? what’s bad about calling something wefwef? it’s just a few repeating sounds. seriously I don’t get it.
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.
Gonna comment in case the upvotes don’t count, I’m really a fan of Voyager. Not a big deal if it were to stay Wefwef, but Voyager has more appeal to my ear. Either way, great app regardless of name.
