Am I the only one who immediately thought of Drake the rapper? He's pretty famous, not sure if this was considered during the naming process. Even if it's not a legal problem, it's an SEO/social media problem.
- wickeand000 14y agoAlthough I don't agree that the name "Drake" is an issue, I do find it interesting that an even more apt name for an application of this type might be "Usher"!
- jonathanjaeger 14y agoHa touché
- sehugg 14y agoA drake is a male duck. They were pretty famous back in the day.
- prospero 14y agoAlso a privateer and a mythical beast. I think there's sufficient prior art on this one.
- jonathanjaeger 14y agoTrue, but I wouldn't call my product 'Queen', 'Cream', 'Journey', or another noun that could be confused with someone or something famous. This distracts from the conversation of the product, so perhaps I shouldn't have brought it up.
- yb66 14y agoI think Queen, cream and journey all also have prior uses that outdo the use by the bands ;)
- logn 14y agoIt's "Drake" but if you watch the video the "rake" is silent making it just "D". :P
- aboytsov 14y agoHaha, this is so funny. :) Sorry, guys, D was our working codename, and it slipped off my tongue, I guess, more than several times. :)
