Choose my next product's name 😱

PipeSocial sound good to me and makes reference to the main functionality.
That said, I wouldn't be too concerned with the name if you are still on mvp / early stage. The name is important but the landing page and marketing (and a good product!) are key to communicate the idea and get users. :)
Agree! That's why I did this poll on twitter.
I can spend days on naming, even weeks without finding anything crystal clear. I don't want that - and i don't want to spend money on the branding either!
I'll ship the landing page this week, with the name my community choose 🙂.
(That's also why i shortlisted a short and generic name, it'll be easier to pivot if needed!)

I wish you all the success, my friend!
Well, out of those four, PipeSocial is the winner. However, when we were brainstorming startup names, I googled for 'startup name generator' and it helped a lot. Won't be spamming with a name of some exact service, but there were ones that enabled providing a set of keywords and allowed to run the generator in different ways. Be prepared to spend some time on that tho
That's what I did :)
My first choice is PipeSocial, but I'm also wondering if your software is for everyone on Twitter or a specific audience?
No, it will be for professionals that are overwhelmed by DMs (journalists, sales ppl, influencers, VCs, etc…)
Ah okay. Then yeah, I choose PipeSocial
Ok! Thanks for your insight!
If the intended customers are salespeople, then PipeSocial would seem to fit - organizing your DM's so you add to your sales pipeline from your social media. But I think the trademark lawyers over at Pipe.com would send you a cease and desist letter.
Tell us more about the intended customers and why they are organizing their DM's, that will help with the naming.
Hey @JHercules, thanks for the answer!
You're probably right with Pipe.com :/
The target users are journalits/sales people that send/receive tons of DMs every day and would like to sort/tag/label/search them.
I would call it FindDM because it describes the value - you can find that DM that you need to take action on. I don't believe that's taken but there are similar ideas FoundDM etc.
If I knew nothing about your product, but I was a heavy Twitter users and worked with DM's every day, and you said the product was "FindDM" I would be able to guess what it does.
What are the alternatives you have in mind?
FindDM, FoundDM, ClearDM, something that describes the value of being able to find and take action on your DM's and includes DM in the name. But that's just one person's opinion!
+1 for PipeSocial. Easier to remember, for me.
I'm not a brilliant computer coder or hacker & I'll never be a Elon Musk. I'm just a 'lowly' Content Writer. With that being said, I'm not 100% clued in as to what your app/program does but, as I reviewed the proposed names, PipeSocial did it for me. The marketing of this is definitely something that I would be interested in helping you with (but you probably have that well in hand).
The coolest thing you did with that name is to infer the fascination that people seem to have with pipes...Half-pipe, tobacco pipe, peace pipe, (for some) crack pipe, laying pipe, tail pipe - you get the idea (there IS a product called a 'social distance pipe' for smoking the ganja). OMG, I have a million ideas in my head; I think it's an awesome name (even if I'm not 100% certain what it is yet, lol!)
Give me a shout if you need some marketing help or, at the very least, a pretty awesome writer - I even do SEO! I think that my email address is up there in my profile. At any rate, best of luck!!
Don´t use Jay, as it is a super generic first name and impossible to rank for.
Maybe SocialPeeps... the name should have a relation to the use case. None of the names on your list has so far. Maybe PipeSocial, but I personally don´t like it as Pipe is usually taken for sales pipeline tools. That does not match your intention, right?
