I think the bigger problem with these generic names is that they are hard to search for and crowd the search space. Go is a common enough word that you'll need to search for `"SoundCloud Go"`, since `SoundCloud Go` will bring up a bunch of unrelated stuff about SoundCloud, e.g. "go to your SoundCloud account panel and..." But using quotes will miss sentences like, "SoundCloud has released a new service, Go."

- danso 11y agoProbably as a result of Google's use of ngrams for searching. It also seems likely that users instinctively (or rather, by years of experience from using Google) know to search for the proper noun rather than just "go" alone...basing that on my own anecdotal evidence of always searching for "hbo now" instead of just "now"
