Just wanted to get your thoughts on this matter. Can the name of a project provide significant benefit or detriment to a project if it is appropriate/unappropriate or unattractive/attractive -sounding?
I am not sure how much of an impact it has.
Not so important, IMO. Because the most important part of a project is a solid team and a real product, so the project has good potential to continue to grow. Regardless of what the project name is used, it is not very important but indeed most projects will look for a good name and is suitable for their project and that is also not a problem if indeed they do not feel pressured just because of a name.
