Should we change app names? (lemmy.world)

I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.

The verbal part is probably my biggest gripe about wefwef. I love it otherwise.

why? what's bad about calling something wefwef? it's just a few repeating sounds. seriously I don't get it.

I don’t like wefwef, mostly because of that (and how it looks like a sex term), but while Voyager sounds cool it has no uniqueness. And while it’s nice to reference Apollo, the entire design already does, the name doesn’t need to. That said I back “LEM” since it does relate, and also relates to Lemmy.

I'm curious, what do you mean by the verbal part?

Telling people about it verbally.
