I disagree in prinicipal. No one is dismissing BoolBerry because of its name. If they dismiss it because of the name, they are actually just ignorant of the tech, the skill of the developer and the direction of the development and community. We are in the infant stages of BBR, so the name can be debated and changed without repercussions.


As I've stated before, I think the name Boolberry in general is a good one for something other than an anonymous crypto. Even for a crypto, it's an alright name. But I think if you and everyone else here believes that there aren't people out there who actually are dismissing BBR based on the name alone then I think you guys are wrong about that. I like BBR, but ever since I've been following it I've seen a fairly consistent amount of people bashing it based on the name alone. Some of these people are surely just Monero holders looking to get a jab in on BBR, but even so, some of those Monero holders might have dismissed BBR outright before they made their choice to buy XMR.

People here obviously like the name, and that's great. It's a community project and that the way these things work. But I don't think people should be under the impression that there aren't people out there who won't invest in something called Boolberry.

Some people might be voting with this logic:
 
I like the name Boolberry therefore we should keep the name.

Where as I think people should make sure their logic goes like this:

I like the name Boolberry enough to dismiss the risk of outsiders rejecting the currency outright based on the name. I realize that there are x% of people who don't see the name as one that should be attached to an anonymous cryptocurrency. But I like the name enough that I feel I get more utility out of keeping the name Boolberry, than I would from the economic utility of likely gaining more money through targeting a larger market.

x% in the above might be a tiny insignificant number, or it might be significant. Without market research we can only go off our experiences in the community here(basically Bitcointalk and the Poloniex troll box).

As an aside it's also possible that the x% for Aureum is higher than the x% Boolberry. So this isn't meant to be some sort of argument that everyone should be choosing Aureum. We don't really know how the public feels since we have no data.

But the big thing is that this a a very biased population here, as everyone who has an interest in BBR now by definition is not someone who dismissed BBR outright because of its name.

Also, you're other points about marketing BBR are good and educating people on BBR and how it's different than other cryptos is great.

That about sums it up perfectly.

I think we were exposed to so many *Coins that the masses were not able to accept entirely different nomenclature. Monero is a brilliant name and so is Boolberry. The rejection of the name was our own bias since most of us had gone in with Monero initially and then there was the whole "Quazar" guy fudding with his coin, it became difficult to not overlook Boolberry. Then came the rethink strategy fud and in didn't help with anything else other than Monero from a CryptoNote perspective.

Over time though, it just stands out and the polarization it creates itself is a great vehicle to always keep it in limelight.

It's Zoidberg's crypto, so I will also go with Boolberry

BoolBerry has my vote.

I will abstain from choice "A" or "B" and let that be determined by the community at large.

Of course there are only 2 options. Dissenting opinions get removed.  :p

There wasn't exactly a lot of suggestions from what I saw. And it seems people just want to move on from this anyway.
