With Klik, my first association is with photography, and my second with the click of a mouse […] Good for mass-appeal, but doesn't convey the novel attributes it would offer.
Do Brits not engage much with the informal and more recent definitions of ‘to click’ which Americans seem to know about as quoted below from my up-thread post?
Of course, yes. But I was giving you my initial reactions, as perhaps most people would likely do on first viewing in a casual sense; rather than a mental reeling off of many more abstract associations. Clicks probably have more resonance for me with the action of a camera than they would for others seeing as I made my living as a photographer for a few years.
the obvious ‘click’ meaning implies it is extremely easy-to-use without tsuris, i.e. point-and-click. Which ties in both with more degrees-of-freedom and users being able to achieve what they want without problems, and also just in general that users like snappy, instant ease.
Certainly, yes.
Klik is appealing visually (my wife thought it looked German with the "K") and when spoken, and is easy to remember.
Agreed and I had the same thought about German or Russian. I read recently that names spelled with the letter k are more strongly associated, e.g. Kommandant. Interestingly from the linked study
That was an interesting read on phonetic symbolism in branding. Seems to have mixed results, though clearly a potentially useful tool. But Mondalez to replace Kraft was such a typically bland and uninspired committee decision. Along those lines, I recall Ford choosing to call their "world car" a Mondeo a couple of decades ago.
So that seems to indicate that Groove (or Groovin) would be better name (because g is less hard than the sharp-edged k), but unfortunately the word doesn’t resonate with non-English or ESL (English as a second language) cultures (which is most of the world!). Nevertheless, I still like Groove
Yes, I see it's appeal and get your reservations over its wider acceptance.
We would be forced to use we-klik.com at the inception because surely the klik.com domain will be incredibly expensive to purchase [...] But in the future it would be better to simplify that to just Klik. In fact, even if we use the domain name we-klik or weklik, I think I would still name the site Klik. Because again “to click” also means “we clicked”, per the alternative definitions of ‘click’ I cited for you. The near-term use of a we-klik.com domain could help those users who forgot those definitions of ‘click’, but for a brandable name Klik is much superior to (and orders-of-magnitude more expensive than) Weklik.
I see your point, yes. Perhaps as it's likely Klik.com would be very expensive to purchase early on, we-klik or weklik could be used initially with a graphical emphasis on the Klik part of the name in order to at least visually and psychologically habituate users to the desired shorter version in case it is possible to buy klik.com at a later date.
Klik as a single name for mass-appeal, or Etonomy as the: “brandable name with justifiable meaning that describes the blockchain in a non-technical manner and ties it in with the proposed E cryptocurrency token name.”
Why “or”? Did you mean “and”?
Yes, a typo. I meant "and".
The currency token shouldn’t be a fad nor gimmicky. I favor E. Thus I am favoring a popular set of dApps for driving mass adoption named Klik with a subtitle “powered by Etonomy” or “an Etonomy-based dApp”.
That all makes sense. I think you could have arrived at the solution for the long run.
