Ask HN: What comes to your mind when you see the name "Talentrue"?
Do you like it? Does it sound trustwworthy? What can you expect from a service called Talentrue ?
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
- monkeyspaw 14y agoMy immediate thought is that it's a name trying too hard to be clever. Some portmanteaus are clever and I like, but this one feels forced. It's like my mind can't skip over the fact that there should be 2 't's in the middle of the word. Are you worried about the TalentTrue / TalenTrue confusion?
- ArekDymalski 14y agoThanks for detailed reply. Actually we are mostly worried about _phred's interpretation :)
- orangethirty 14y agoTarantulas. It sounds like Tarantulas.
- _phred 14y agoO, cruel fortune! I rue my talent.
- pkhamre 14y ago"Talent" + "rue", without knowing what "rue" really is in this context.
- MaysonL 14y agoHipsters trying too hard.
- meerita 14y agoI hate all the compos made with "true". True can be something really, really subjetive.
- gyardley 14y agoHalf-elven ranger. Where's my bag of dice?
- soneca 14y agoWith all on small caps I tried to read as one word and speaking out loud sounded like a last name from a Babylon 5 embassador. Even with TalenTrue, as said before, I am always confused if I should one or two letters when writing down names like theses. I think you should go to use two T. Nobody says Codecademy, everybody says CodeAcademy. But the name itself, I liked. Yes, sounds trustworthy for me. I don't know if it is some kind of HR service, but if it was, I would expect that I should use it to find (or advertise my) true talent, real talent, without all the BS cover letters and "answer just what we want to hear" type of questions.
