Ask HN: How do you come up with names for web apps?

1 points by iamscanner 15 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I've been staring at thesaurus pages for keywords I think apply to my app for too long without finding anything that jumps out at me - there has to be a better way. Has anyone found it?

Why don't you tell us what your app does and we can help you come up with a name?

    Whoops - good point! With all my thesaurus fatigue I forgot to talk about my app!

    It's basically another customer support application for web apps in the same vein as Tender (http://tenderapp.com/), but (hopefully) geared more towards supporting SaaS apps than anything else.

    Edit: I should add that so far my best idea for names is Secret Sauce (because customer support is the secret sauce behind a lot of things), but it doesn't pass the "does 'Hey, did you log into Secret Sauce today' sound dumb" test.
