I thought of IceBreaker as well, before scrolled down the comments. Not that I'm trying to steal your stake. Point to you. It's catchy. I think it also catches a bit of the flavor of the implied bar scene: Ice in the drinks. And breaking through the ice of resistance/rejection. Probably all sorts of graphic design possibilities, too, in the hands of a good designer. Maybe you could call those last ditch, pull out all stops lines "SOS" -- Save Our Ship. Not that I'm much of a bar person. I'd need the version with the built in taser. Place the phone in my hip pocket, and it jolts me forward until I actually am face to face with the party of interest.

  IceBreaker is pretty good, so we have two potential winners: IceBreaker and Pickup Lines. One is boring but clearly says what you get, the other one is more trendy, but more people may miss the app because they can't tell right away what it does...

    Yes, IceBreaker is a very good one, one problem is that an app with this name could also be easily taken for a game (a FrozenBubble like).

      True, but I think that a good icon would help solve this problem. Perhaps a man's and woman's heads, facing each other, with a dialog bubble towards the man's mouth, and the woman smiling. An icon like that (instead of a cracked piece of ice or something) along with the name should put the premise of the app in context for 99% of Americans. Also, it may be mistaken for a game on occasion, but are people really that eager to spend money on Apps that they'd just hit the buy button based on the name alone (before even reading the description or looking at the screenshots)?

        For me, at least, I think "pickup" (and "pickup line") has something of a negative connotation. An "ice breaker" seems more neutral. It's about getting things started, not "sealing the deal". I also think "pickup lines" tend to be ascribed more to men. Maybe "ice breaker" would also be a bit more gender neutral (if you are interested in marketshare in both genders). P.S.: I'm both a bit older and a bit of a wallflower, so my perceptions may be off.
