Boolberry? Boolberry?!?! "That'll be 14 boolberries please."

Come on! The whole reason this thread was started was due to the backlash to that name, and there's good reason for it because it's a truly terrible name.

Someone made the point earlier that the name is not so important because even if it starts off as an empty set of syllables it acquires meaning.

But Boolberry is beyond redemption. Bin it. I don't care about winning BBRs, just don't stick with this mumbledump of a name.

I expect Google went through similar discussions- It didn't hurt them.

Boolberry is fine, it's friendly, memorable and the arrangement of the letters would be a logo creators delight - it doesn't need to mean anything. It's also an obvious spelling and has no search engine competition. Some companies have paid millions to come up with something like this.

Some of the suggestions here have been truly terrible, it makes me wonder if Will Self is posting? It just seems to be an opportunity for amateur linguists to show off a little with the resulting names being patronising, unpronounceable or just arrogant - sometimes all three! We want people to like the coin, don't we?

Boolberry is cool(berry), just leave it alone.

Except Boo sounds a lot like Poo and nobody in the world knows what a Bool operation is.

Bit sounds like shit and barely anybody in the world knows what a bitcoin is.

This could go on forever........ Roll Eyes

Edit:

Has an actual poll been taken to show that "Most people dislike the new name....."?
