Signal and Telegram are more obvious, yes, but it's not like unrelated or unique names couldn't work. Slack comes to mind. Or, I seek you?

- badrabbit 6y agoICQ has a quirky meaning to it,once you get it,it's like what you use when you seek someone (not really but the mental association is there). Slack? Not sure, it's popular in tech but I've only used it when I have no other choice but I associated it with slacking off (as in when you want to talk informally relax and talk non-work) or having slack (break or headroom),so when someone says let's chat on Slack, I think of a fun interaction that is more akin to taking a break. But to your point, the only good thing about Skype for example is few syllables and messaging related graphics/logo for me.
- rvnx 6y agoSlack is an absolutely horrible name, especially for work-related purposes; it doesn't reflect messaging but laziness and productivity waste.
