I think this is an interesting and promising concept and I certainly prefer some of your suggested names to the originals. However, the analysis of result quality is fairly subjective and in many cases I prefer the original name to the suggestions. I'm sure others would have different opinions.
Great tool for kicking off an initial brainstorm around names even if you don't end up using one of the suggestions. In fact, it could even be useful for gauging an initial reaction to your startup concept.
- pbh 15y agoThe brainstorming and initial reaction points are two points I actually forgot to make in the blog post. Thanks! Regarding brainstorming, I've found that I tend to get locked into one line of thinking when brainstorming domains, and the workers don't do that (since they're all different people). As a result, even if the specific proposal by a worker isn't great, they're often on to an interesting line of domains that I can continue myself. Regarding initial reaction, I found that the process of honing a description to get a good name was actually really similar to honing a pitch describing a company. When the workers didn't get the concept, they could not produce good names. Further, the best descriptions start to sound like what-problem-does-this-solve customer-based pitches for websites.
