Found an interesting website that gives good names - you can restrict the types of results by multiple means and effectively follow @piluso 's marketing suggestions.
SNET is already on CMC. I, personally, think it is of a lot more importance that people look at the competition vigorously and start thinking about what it means to reinvent the internet. A new internet needs a new monetary standard.
Well, it’s generic
so, while it could be used by others,
cannot be trademarked like a dollar,
it also allows us to use it. In theory,
and unless I am missing something.
That could only be a single dictionary word or letter.
So just use ‘S’, which is why I posted the greek “sigma” above, or pick a 4 to 6 letter word that starts with ‘S’. (or maybe the letter ‘N’ as it relates to ‘Network’)
A total rebrand…Don’t think it will happen. But I wouldn’t be against it if is a really good one and has the majority of the support.
I would go for 1 single simple unique word. For example who is ever using the term ‘world wide web’? Everyone just uses ‘internet’ while it’s not always correct. It’s the better name.
I’m against technical/scientific terms in the name, it’s too nerdy. The average Joe on the street has no clue what it is about. So I would favour a more traditional way of naming something. For example name it after the place of birth. Common for people in the past. Totally uncommon in crypto space which is good. So the new network and coin will be born in Ayr probably (very lucky here with the short name). So you could name it ‘Ayronet’ or so. And you send someone 10ayr or 10ayro. Or make up another good sounding word with ‘ayr’ in it.
This is the big problem IMO - people are really attached to “Safe Network” and not for any stated reasons, but just IMO, emotional attachment … meaning they aren’t easily going to change their minds no matter how good the rational argument.
Rebranding is an expensive, risky, and onerous task. If it can be avoided, I think it should be. Among many other considerations, it would require a thorough and executable launch strategy, updated collateral, updated digital assets, updated messaging, legal review & filings, visual design, etc.
That being said, if it has to happen, Vault could be interesting… While the nerd in me loves them, I also agree that we should avoid overly esoteric names. This is another reason why I think something like Vault could have potential. It’s also nice because it still connects to the branding that exists today (I.e. safety).
A rebrand could be a good opportunity to reduce the complexity of too many names. Trying to explain the difference between MaidSafe, SAFE Network, MAID, Safecoin, etc. is unnecessarily cumbersome. There are many entities related to Ethereum, but they manage to keep the naming simple.
