How do you pronounce it? "We're going to use ess-jee-enn-ell-why".
- kulahan 2y agoI presume it’s supposed to be “sign-ally” or something to that effect? Really strange choice for a b2b app imo. Seems like it’d be better for an iPhone app name than anything.
- ANighRaisin 2y agosign-lee makes more sense.
- kulahan 2y agoI have no clue how I missed this lol. Yes, this must be it, thanks
- dillydogg 2y agoI agree, I saw the name and thought "this will be hard to get off the ground with that name". My guess is signly (pronounced sine-lee)
- crazygringo 2y agoAgreed. Hope they change the name ASAP. I saw it and the first thing I thought was, I'd never trust a company that decided that was a good name. Names, like products, are supposed to be easy to use. If your first thought is "wait how the heck do you pronounce that?" and then "why do they hate vowels so much?" you're already lost. Like, if I want to get to their site I'm going to have to guess how to type it into Google...? Signly? Sngly? Sgnli? Sgnly? Sngli? Can you even tell which one is right?
- CoastalCoder 2y agoI tend to not defer to marketing departments regarding how I pronounce company names, especially for made up words.
- recursive 2y agoI wasn't deferring to any marketing departments. But the fact remains, I still do not know how to pronounce it.
- jfengel 2y agoI'm sure they want it to be "sign-ly", and that was the least awful domain they could afford. I suspect that at one point they were hoping to use the .ly TLD, but that fell through and they had their hearts set.
- etothet 2y agoI also came here to say this. If you really want to compete with Docusign, you’d probably benefit from a name that decision makers can obviously pronounce. It seems silly, but it will be a barrier for some.
