Taking it even further... who knows if PG was even wrong with his suggestions. It is possible that 360scope (minus the alien) would have been just as successful as Reddit (with the alien). I don't know at which stage this suggestion was made though. At some point it becomes dangerous to make an arbitrary name change.
