What Do I Name My Community?

As part of my new project BetterSheets.co I'm launching a daily newsletter, this week.

1 of the lessons I learned: I don't know what to name my community members.

Any ideas?

Business people, Hackers, Makers, Creators who are trying to do more with Google Sheets. They are learning how to design better, go deeper into formulas, etc.

So far I have these:

  • Better Sheeters
  • Sheet Shakers

    Make it simple - sheeters - something memorable and different

    1. 1

      Been playing with the sing songy sounding " Hey Big Sheeters " and now... " Hey Sheeters " sounds nice.
      How about Sheetsters? To get away from the toilet talk?

      1. 1

        Haha yes, that is a better idea in my opinion. It will always have the toilet talk connotation since it will have "sheet___" in it, but sheetsters is a better idea

  2. 1

    Keep it non ambiguous. Maybe Spreadsheeters?

  3. 1

    Online Go Getters
    The Sheetahs
    Sheetackers
    Sheetomatic
    Sheet Snackers
    Sheet Talk
    Prime sheeters
    Quick Sheet

    Does it has to include the word sheet?

    1. 1

      Sheetahs.. ha!
      It doesn't need to include the word "Sheet" which got me thinking of these other words:

      • Grid
      • Formulas
      • Formatting

      and other "powerful" words
      Sheet Slayers
      Super Sheeters

      1. 1

        Ok...wider choices.
        How is it going, have you got something?

        I will brainstorm some names...

        1. 2

          Trying this out for the welcome email:
          Hey Sheet Shakers ‘n’ Formula Fanatics,
          Get ready for Sheet Talkin’, Sheet Shakin’ Action!
          Name dropped you in this video.

        2. 1

          I am gonna try 5 different ones next week. Sending a daily newsletter so I can go through a lot of iterations.

  4. 1

    How about "Sheet Talkers"? For the name of the newsletter - how about "Shootin the Sheet"?

    1. 2

      Take a look at this line! thanks for the help...

      Hey Sheet Shakers ‘n’ Formula Fanatics,
      Get ready for Sheet Talkin’, Sheet Shakin’ Action!

      Name dropped you in this video: https://www.loom.com/share/bd4be528dbb947bd9050a7e94de84678

      1. 1

        Haha nice! Glad I could help!

    2. 1

      Hmmm.. i have shot a lot of sheet in my day.

      Shootin the sheet sounds like a good podcast as well as Sheet Talkers.

      Sheet Shock?

  5. 1

    I would go for second one :D

    1. 1

      Thanks for the vote!

  6. 1

    The first ones sounds a bit like 'shitters' 💩

    Lol, sorry.

    I do like Sheet Shakers.

    1. 1

      Thanks for the help... Here's what I went with for the welcome email. For now:

      Hey Sheet Shakers ‘n’ Formula Fanatics,
      Get ready for Sheet Talkin’, Sheet Shakin’ Action!

      Thanked you in this video: https://www.loom.com/share/bd4be528dbb947bd9050a7e94de84678

    2. 1

      Serious Question: Sounds like shitters is a bad thing?
      So that's +1 for Sheet Shakers

      1. 2

        Another +1 for sheet shakers. Gives the idea of disruption, and doesn't sound like a bathroom activity lol.
