HNers: Please give us a new name

7 pointsshotti34 comments

Dear HNers,

We're creating an iPhone app "hhhungry", which is a one tap way to find friends to eat with for today's lunch and diner (hhhungry.com).

However, we are thinking to a new name for it and we deiced to ask you to help us rename our product.

WHY We' been thinking a new name, since we pivoted and we've heard a lot of complains about our name "hhhungry" especially from "girls". However, we've been screwing up renaming it for weeks and weeks. And finally, a devastating fight for a new name among the team made us ask you to inspire us!

REWARD If you give us an inspiring name and you live at San Francisco, New York, or Tokyo, we'll invite you a sushi dinner. You don't live at those cities? We'll send you 3 t-shirts:)

VOTE hhhungry.com or This Thread

DEADLINE March 4th (Sunday)

Thanks HN!

Can you update your profile with your email address? I have a name suggestion for you. It's short,easy to pronounce( .com is available) and I think it would be good fit for your app. I would be glad to help (you can find email in my profile).

And also, you want to pick the best possible name for your app so I am not sure the voting system is a good choice if you have for example name with 10 and name with 7 votes from random users (that is not enough if you have just votes and don't have any other feedback).

hbg, thank you for advice! I know the facebook question isn't best solution, but I couldn't find any better solution...I thought facebook questions has transparency at least. Anyway I'll email you soon after lunch:)

Go with names that are not that tricky to remember.

>especially from "girls".

Huh?

Some of them think hhhungry sounds too muscular for them...they suggest us to name the product as cute as "Instagram".
