Also for me personally Monero was a better name before their community started Moanerring in every thread.

This forum means nothing in the bigger picture.

Furthermore you are a nonconformist, so something becoming popular (say within this community) is a negative to you. Most people in the world are conformists, making popularity self-reifnforcing. As a successful marketer you know this, but you are allowing your personal feelings to intrude in this instance.

More veiled FUD ostensibly designed to manipulate public opinion (the deluded will likely rally behind you).

I know whom it is important to register popularity with. I don't conform to the losers (who would?). I align with the astute ones who know for example in this case if we have the technology to address the mass adoption or not.

Anyway, I don't necessarily think that Monero is the best possible name, but I don't know of an existing cyptocurrency name that is better, and looking down the top 100 list, I don't see any, other than possibly Bitcoin within the context in which it was created (no other such coins existed).

On the name, I don't think Monero means to most people what you all assume it does in your head.

Also it is 3 syllables with a portmanteau that can be misinterpreted in many different ways, e.g. Mo-nero, Mon-ero, Mone-ro. Facebook, Viber, and I-on are only 2 (Ion might be 1?).

It is not a horrible name. It is much more brandable than any name with ___Coin or ___Bit.

But you are going to have to teach people what it means. Monero is not high tech. No way. It sounds like some cultural heritage from Europe (such as a castle) being applied to computers doesn't make any sense. It is at best associated with fiat money and old world corruption we are trying to get rid of. It will not appeal to the youth and the people who want new, cool, tech. The youth want new stuff not the crap of their grandparents. They want swiping and vibering, not tours of museums in Old Europe.
