Yes, their choice of name was not their greatest achievement.
- em-bee 8mo agoit was supposed to be a temporary name, that i believe was intentionally chosen to be bad to make it easier to replace later. they were under pressure because the original name eelo had a trademark issue. when they eventually found a new name "murena" it appears they then decided to use it as a brand for the phones that they themselves sell instead, keeping /e/OS as the name for the operating system
- amelius 8mo agoWhat is their connection with eels? I just checked and Murena is an eel, too. Imho, one of the ugliest fish one could choose as a mascotte :S
- em-bee 8mo agoheh, i never made the connection. it's spelled muraena but that's as close as eelo is to eel. curiously i always thought morays look cute.
