+1 for Voyager
wefwef
wefwef is now Voyager! Subscribe to [email protected].
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
Someone already owns voyager.com - naming a product can be difficult these days as most common names are taken.
Voyager is fine, although Wef Wef is such a nice, unique name I actually love it a lot.
My vote for wefwef since it‘s unique and snappy.
Another GrecoRoman god (in the style of Apollo, as an homage)?
I like Wefwef. It is unique while Voyager is quite boring.
If yes, maybe something to think about doing further down the track when there’s not a huge amount of migration. Every post directing new users to wefwef will become obsolete and so the app will be harder to find.
I personally love the name wefwef.
"Athena". Same mythology theme as Apollo.
Functionality is what will keep people but having a better name, and establishing this as a spiritual successor to Apollo, will help get people through the door.
Something like Voyager as suggested would be much more friendly to new users
Though personally I like both.
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.
I like the name wefwef reminds me of a cute dog barking at me.
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
Adama or Starbuck
I love Voyager!
I like WefWef. like someone else mentioned, it makes me think of a little puppy learning to growl or bark, lol. Mostly though, its6 unique, easy to type, and gloriously well suited to finding via search engines. If you google "wefwef", the top result is your app's Github project, and the next few results are about the app as well. If you change to something like "Voyager", theres an awful lot of competition for those search results. It'll get buried under results about the space project and Star Trek. On a personal level aside from that, I'd vote for staying wefwef myself.
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
Change it if you want but “Voyager” sounds like some corporate nothing app named by bean pushers and commitees.
Lemmynade? 🍋
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.
Voyager, absolutely.
I like the name, to be honest
Ez wefwef
For many ppl RIF is Reddit. For me wefwef is Lemmy.
Don't change.
Stick with wefwef. It has an originality unlike voyager (plenty of those)
I prefer voyager, or even “voyage”.
Apollo went by many different names if you wanna go down that route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Greco-Roman_epithets
