I don't understand the downvotes you're getting or the negativity in the comments. I've never heard of Alinea - the restaurant before - and it's really strange that people are being anal about someone else using the name for a completely different industry - it won't be confusing to anyone.
- icedchai 6y agoHere's a simple test I always use when figuring out if a name is good and not confusing: Google it. If you search for "Alinea", what do you get?
- kevsim 6y agoDoes that really work though? What about mega companies with very common word names? Segment, Zoom, Stripe, etc.
- tptacek 6y agoIt would be a bad idea to name your next tech company "Stripe" (or your next restaurant, for that matter; ew.)
- kevsim 6y agoHa! I guess my point was that when those companies started up, searching for those terms was bound to result in some businesses popping up, though I'm sure they made the call that "hey, they're not in the payments/analytics/whatever space, so no worries"
