I brought some name ideas to MTurk and asked 200 people for feedback. Very glad I did this. Was fascinating seeing similar comments come up repeatedly but entirely independently - comments I hadn't anticipated. I presented seven names. Of the best two, one was much more popular than the other, but the things that people who liked the second name liked about it were much more diverse and interesting. It didn't have the broadest support but it had the deepest support. I'll likely go with it. There are lots of necessary sources of stress when naming, but one unnecessary one is wondering how representative your own intuitions about names are. Asking people and having your fears validated (positively or negatively) feels great.
