Never mind the length; that name is bad because of the rhythm.
Consider the current big players. Facebook, Google, Apple: all trochees (two syllables; stress on the first syllable). Microsoft, Oracle: dactyls (three syllables, stress on the first). These flow better than some other rhythms. If you write trochees as "- _" and dactyls as "- _ _", then yours is "- - _ _". It stumbles. It's the same rhythm as Stack Overflow, if that cheers you up, but the consonents are clumsier -- the k followed by an m is claggy and clumsy.
I'd try something with a better flow to it. Even "totalmessenger" ("- _ - _ _") runs better, and the l/m is much nicer than the k/m. Length isn't the issue, because people can type that perfectly well.
Try employing a poet to help you. We're an underrated breed with useful skills...
- alanmeaney 14y agoThanks for the feedback. I haven't seen flow mentioned before, certainly something to consider. I'm from the land of poets so no underrating here
