Ask HN: How do you name your product? Are there any standardized ways?
I am building an API based infrastructure tool for developers. I have been thinking for over a week to find a name but am just not able to find one. I have my UI design done, DB design done, APIs specifications ready but I couldn't come up with a name. I have thought of 1000+ names and cannot find it. I think I am now the worst person to name due to so much of overthinking. Since my Product is about developer experience a nice name matters to me. I would wish to wear a hoodie with name daily so need something nice. The emotions I want developer to experience is that this is something that would speed up their Dev cycle. How do I solve this naming dillemma? 5 comments on Hacker News.
