There are lots of selling techniques to have a higher sales and having a good and attractive name is one of them. If the name attracts the costumers or buyers the demand will be high but the price will high if the supply is low. I think the name is slightly affects the price of the certain cryptocurrency but it needs a good project and the other selling techniques. If the cryptocurrency reach the highest demand, I think it will boom the price. Name affects the price but it should be accompanied by other techniques to make a cryptocurrency successful.
I agree, the name alone does not affect the price, a few years back when people didn't know shit they would ahve fallen for another cheap product made by a big company, today people ahave learned from past experiences and a long trial and error and they usally they don't rush in just for a product from a big name company, take for exemple bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold, these tow crypto currencies were derived from the bitcoin, they haven't been successfull at launch but when the devs lowers their mining difficulty they started having some progress, and that proves this point.
