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?

Well I honestly don’t understand your take lol. Tell me if I’m misunderstanding something, but you seem to be holding two contradictory views at the same time.

On one hand, you are saying that it doesn’t matter what the app is called. You point out that we previously used a site called ‘Reddit’ and that didn’t have anything to do if we used it or not. You insulted the people who care about the app name by suggesting that they might be 12 year olds who were worried what their friends might think……

And yet, at the same time, you also very strongly hold the view that the app name can’t be a boring/bland name. You went off on a rant about how anyone who does like a so-called “boring” name (well, boring according to you) must be “simple-minded and devoid of all fantasy and joy” and that these people must live sad lives…… But this contradicts your first point about how the name of the app doesn’t matter.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you seem to be criticising others for caring about the app name whilst simultaneously also caring about the app name yourself. So the next time you argue that an app name sounds too generic and boring, someone might reply “Are you twelve, and worried about what your friends will think about you when you're using an app with a boring name? Who would give a f***?”
