It's not as if they wouldn't know you if the name was changed. In fact more would know you.
Having both the name and ticker being phonetically read the same or abbreviated in a clearly distinguishable way, in my opinion, is crucial.
The coin should have one spoken name, not two. It's never too late to make a positive change and a simple one at that.
I apologize to anyone who takes offence to this notion but I can't be the only one who feels this way about zer.
That'll be all from me, just wanted to share that.
(I understand ZER was used due to ZEC, but that's not a recognizable feature (to the common person) and their usage makes more sense (ZEe-Cash). I assume ZERO was unavailable which is why I suggested ZRO.)
