Ask HN: Should I change my start up's name?
My start up is BugMuncher - I chose the name specifically because it's similar to rug muncher, which made me chuckle (and also because the .com was available).
At first I had a lot of people telling me they loved the name, but recently I've had a small number of people (only 3 in total) telling me they like the app, but the name is problem for them or their clients, because it sounds like rug muncher.
What I worry about is the possibility of people seeing BugMuncher, but not signing up because of the name - I'd never know. I really like the name, but is that just foolish pride? Should I just suck it up and rename to something that couldn't put people off?
Thanks in advance,

- Jeremy1026 13y agoI like the name, very memorable. So you had 3 people say they are out because of the name? How many users do you have in total. 3 people opting out with only 5 users is a lot different than 3 people opting out with 5,000 users.
