[CLOSED] Boolberry Rename Contest - Boolberry Is the Name!!

[zeetak]

Yah, we're going to lose the support we have if we aren't on an exchange soon, this is getting ridiculous. 

crypto_zoidberg, we NEED to get a name figured out. If you aren't able to choose one, you should ask for help from the community--get someone who is interested in marketing involved.

What about Vortex?

Boolberry? Boolberry?!?! "That'll be 14 boolberries please."  

Come on! The whole reason this thread was started was due to the backlash to that name, and there's good reason for it because it's a truly terrible name.  

Someone made the point earlier that the name is not so important because even if it starts off as an empty set of syllables it acquires meaning.  

But Boolberry is beyond redemption. Bin it. I don't care about winning BBRs, just don't stick with this mumbledump of a name.

I expect Google went through similar discussions- It didn't hurt them.

Boolberry is fine, it's friendly, memorable and the arrangement of the letters would be a logo creators delight - it doesn't need to mean anything. It's also an obvious spelling and has no search engine competition. Some companies have paid millions to come up with something like this.

Some of the suggestions here have been truly terrible, it makes me wonder if Will Self is posting? It just seems to be an opportunity for amateur  linguists to show off a little with the resulting names being patronising, unpronounceable or just arrogant - sometimes all three! We want people to like the coin, don't we?

Boolberry is cool(berry), just leave it alone.

Except Boo sounds a lot like Poo and nobody in the world knows what a Bool operation is.

Bit sounds like shit and barely anybody in the world knows what a bitcoin is.

This could go on forever........

Edit:

Has an actual poll been taken to show that "Most people dislike the new name....."?

Do we just assume that this project is dead now?

Seriously. Get a name, get on an exchange, or just stop wasting peoples time.

It would be terrible to think this whole thing is just a massive time sink hole. But I'm getting the feeling it's time to cut and run.

CZ. You've only got me for 24 more hours.

At this point we should just call this coin Animosity. It is getting very crazy.

[Mrrr]

I'd call this coin Zoidberg (or ZOID to prevent copyright issues). In honour of the man that means well but isn't an ace at marketing.

[Spekulatius]

How about we call it "van Saberhagens" [SAB], in honor of our own "Satoshi": Nicolas van Saberhagen, the anonymous author of the CryptoNote whitepaper(s).

[BorisTheSpider]

Just to let you guys know, a few of us at VTC are into BBR too, and have been helping Zoidberg choose a new name, including our professional branding guy who has decades of experience in naming and promoting brands. Zoidberg feels bad that he's agonised over the name for so long, but he wanted to get something that he felt was appropriate. He's conscious of the time dragging on, and is definitely going to announce a new name today.

Yes. And I apologize for that. Crazy day for me. But no excuse.

Very happy with this news. Excellent name. Great work.

Well, i'm very surprised that the project name is more important that technology thats stands behind it.
But in reality it is so, and maybe it's reasonable.

Now, with help of my friends, i've decided to take final name for project:

Arplex
http://arplex.org/


I like this name, and i'll make value for it with my work.
You can like it or you can not like - naming issue is closed.

I am very grateful to everyone who helped with the suggestions for the name in the contest thread! I'm sorry that i can't chose name from suggestions, but, to be fair, the prise that had been offered will be devided between all who had suggested variants.

Peace.

Ok i dont know which pro suggested Arplex, but clearly I dont approve.

I think that boolberry may be better that Arplex.

I had proposed you from the start to offer a significant bounty so that a pro would invest some time and come up with a strong Brand name.

Anyway I wish that everything goes well and I will continue to support.

"Arplex" sucks, not friendly at all. It sounds like a type of plastic.

What is the plural? Arpli? Arplexes? Now it's getting cumbersome.

You should have known this because Vertcoin is also a crap name - the "pro" naming guy is just a guy - I hope you didn't pay him.

Oh well, that was a long wait for a step backwards.

[Spekulatius]

I think that Vert "pro" tricked him.

Pls, lets at least have a public vote with all the suggestions including Arplex and Boolberry and we will find out what the best name is!

Renaming is canceled due to copyright issue.
Sorry.

[graphfox]

Sorry.

No harm done. More chance to consider some monosyllabic names. Believe it or not I was gonna suggest "Splex" last night which is freakishly close to what you decided. The domain was taken though.
