@vladimir I have tried different text-to-speech tools as well but I can't find the issue. Can you explain more for me? (I'm not a native English person) Thanks a lot.
@MichaelBui
ok man I will break it down for ya
Its hard to pronounce it right, you need to twist your tongue to get it right, which for non native speakers is hard (not the twisting part).
After i hear how it sounds and try to write it down with 1000 tries, even if my head depends on it, it will roll off my shoulders.
They really sound like female names, ex. for xoosu - Zuzu or Zuzy (dont google it*).
and last all that above makes it looks unprofessional, at least for me.
X.O.O.S.U is a different story but then its too long for what it is, maybe just XOSU would be better.
no.
You're no fun.
Guys, I'm so confused...
Did you ever think in 19xx that Google, Yahoo, Skype,... are good names, honestly?
A few thoughts:
With the Google, Yahoo and Skype examples, they are easy to spell.
That aside, the name is important, but it's only one element of a brand. There's little background provided so far. What kind of image are you trying to present about your startup/services? Who is your audience? What sets your startup apart from other existing mail/search/social networks?
Currently without any info all the options sound very generic, it doesn't help that the names come from a random generator and can be misheard/misspelled easily ("was it xeesy, zeezy or zeexy?") As a result, some people here are trying to relate to the names and drawing a blank.
A suggestion would be to set out the selling points of the service or keywords that describe the business behind it, then brainstorm names/build the brand around it.
Thanks @souen
I totally agree with you!
I am asking here because I want to make sure when a name is pronounced, it will not be similar to any bad words and when written, it looks good.
Thanks all, I think I will go with XOOSU
Pronounced Zoo-Su?
That's the Japanese sound for 'Zorse', which is (of course) a cross between a zebra and a horse.
You could also purchase the zoosu.net.
Hope this helps.
You might want to make sure the letters you're using don't produce any unwanted figures, too. For instance: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1901656/OGC-unveils-new-logo-to-red-faces.html
ZINNEE sounds cool
@Nekki Is that bad or good? I think nobody interested in xoosu.net since xoosu.com is purchased
@petris I swear I couldn't stop laughing
@SammiRose Thanks but I decided to use xoosu. It may not be the best one but at least it looks & sounds fine.
