It was a regular work day, attending meetings inbetween short coding sessions. In one of these meetings I encountered a name “Yotta Yotta” and was wondering what it was and we came to the conclusion it was the “yadda yadda” from Sienfield. But guess what we were wrong, that was actually the name of a company. With the Web 2.0 boom a lot of startup’s are coming with really fancy names.
I have encountered a few strange names earlier on, but then on this occasion, I decided to probe the multitude startups to find the strangest of them all. Here’s my list and I would encourage you readers to comment on names you have heard.
Kaboodle, Dohop, Sponit, Plurn, Etsy, Colib, Zazzle, Diigo, Blish, Renkoo, Woomp, Zimbio, Gliffy, Tagsy, Tioti, Otavo, Wrickr, Skobee, Yedda, Ookles, Lulu, Smugmug, Tinfinger, Qoop, Jellybarn, Goowy, Filangy, Zinadoo, Xuqa, Zillow.
This is a very small list, guess this will have to do for now and this startup logo mashup makes a good poster.
Zillow and simplifid are a couple more names.
Guys,
if i happen to fill in arabic names there won’t be much space left……????????
Well Colib didn’t ring any bells at that time. I suppose every founder would have thought about the names before using it.
Well, Colib is my merging of cooperative and library. I didn’t think it was that weird when I chose it. Plus you don’t get many 5 letter domains available that can be relatively easily remembered, typed and said.
Cool list. You can add Zinadoo to it, a product coming out of the offices next door to me.
Here is one more … Xuqa
