I think most opinions of names are post-hoc rationalizations. I think that if Meebo was a failure we would all think it was a stupid name.

- pbhjpbhj 16y agoWhen Snickers started in Britain everyone expressed the idea that it sounded stupid and Mars Co used this as part of the advertising angle ("[corny French accent]'av' you got the snickers?"). Was/Is it a better name than Marathon? Don't know. Also are you really claiming that you're the only person able to avoid post hoc analysis? Or indeed that you're immune to it. Perhaps you only think it sounds stupid because you think the product is stupid or because of the style they use to market it.
