I seriously hope startups stop the 'ly' naming trend. There are already a zillion of those and its not creative anymore.

- Dramatize 16y agoThe name is pretty awkward to say.

- hristov 16y agoYeah, it would have been much better if they named it fabricity.
- zach 16y agoI would have loved if they called it Fashter.
- groby_b 16y agoBut it so startuply to do that! ;) (Also, be glad it's not 2004, or it'd be fabrc or fbric ;)
- tjriley82 16y agoI somewhat agree, but I don't think it's such a big deal for the average visitor.
- y549 16y agoOh, please. Step off the ivory tower. Naming trends has and will always be the norm in the business industry -- especially in Silicon Valley. Remember when startups started with X's? Or ended in r's? Or what about exclamation points (e.g. Google's original name)? I could name you countless examples. It's a trend, and will always remain a trend. Startups don't have $100K to hire reputable naming firms, and they're certainly not creative enough at coming up with their own memorable names (otherwise, they'd be in the actual naming industry). I don't fault them for piggy-backing on others if naming isn't within their domain expertise.
