Ever had trouble naming a side project? 🤔

Question

Yes, I see two problems. The idea for the name is always challenging, so is getting anyone to agree to a name.

Answer

@alex_barlow Great point Alex! Naming with a group definitely adds complexity, wonder if it helps or hinders? 🤔

Answer

@alex_barlow Agreed, all great points! It’s funny to think about how much thought goes into naming when the best names can come to us completely by accident... https://www.quora.com/How-did-Spotify-get-its-name

@builtbystephen I think making a final decision with a group could be good. But generally group decision making is an exercise. Its generally ignored  and the process reverts to the decision maker choosing their preference as they are dominant and their bias is in overdrive. Perhaps a mechanic of voting or feedback could help.
