cloudinary.com is an awesome service for on the fly image / video modification and the name "cloudinary" doesn't at all describe their service IMO. It's in the cloud for sure (what isn't now a days) but that's about it. No mention of image manipulation. (unless I'm missing something) LivePipe sounds like a cool name and has more meaning than cloudinary I think.

Thanks for replying, I'm struggling with this. I agree with what you're saying. My theory for "LivePipe" would be that a pipe takes things somewhere, and "live" can mean "online". It's hard finding a logo, though. Do you like RocketGrid at all?

  Meh... IMO, the name really means nothing at the end of the day. Especially for a product like this, where your targeting developers. If a product is good and it delivers on what it promises; the name means nothing to me. I'll remember it / bookmark it and use it. If it's just another clone of something else popular and doesn't cause me to look at it again a second time; a good name won't change that. Few names explain what the product are now a days. Gone are the days of finding a product name like Microsoft or Rackspace or AWS or Facebook - those names are "descriptive" in what they do. Tell me what Digital Ocean does by just it's name, or CloudFlare or Apple for that matter. The name is a place holder; a point of reference. The products features and quality determines if it's of value.

    Thanks. The product is nothing revolutionary. There are other services that do something very similar. The differentiator is that it's aimed at the Polish market. Everything is in Polish—including documentation, support, etc. While it's definitely true that developers generally know English very well, some might be more comfortable using their own language, and this is what the service is for.
