Ask HN: Would it be OK to name an app that's similar to anothers?

  • Why not choose a name that is not necessarily specific to your idea? Pick anything. I used to own mankhool.com and mankool.com (just because I thought it was a cool name - it's a road in Dubai).

  • I would strongly encourage you to choose a different name. There are examples of accidental name collisions that didn't really help either company (Pinweel and Pinwheel come to mind).
