This feels like a particularly ill-considered name.
First off, there is already commercial software called "Next Browser" -- it appears before your code in google searches. I don't think they have a US trademark (yet). They might have a chinese trademark. At any rate, it might not be wise to be naming something that puts you in potential future trademark jeopardy.
Second, when I think of "Next Browser" I think of this:

I'm sure others do too. You sure you want to be competing with WorldWideWeb.app, of all applications, for mindshare?
- jmercouris 9y agoHi Sean, thank you for your feedback. You're right, it's probably not a really good idea. I'm open to any ideas for names, having said all of that, I really like the name nEXT Browser because it gives an idea of efficiency, progress, and getting stuff done. In terms of names in general, I think you will always be stepping on toes somewhere, there are so many names out there, and especially when you want to use a normal English word, it is hard to find anything really available without making up something.
