Should we change app names? (lemmy.world)

I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

I don't think should is the right word. I personally don't like the name much as it somehow sounds just off-putting to me (it doesn't read like a puppy sound, maybe because I am not a native English speaker). And there is clearly something to it as this is the only app where people are discussing changing the name. Even Jerboa seems to be safe from it even though the name sounds a bit weird.

Voyager seems way nicer and professional to me.

I have no problem with wefwef (although, yes, if it was supposed to read like a puppy sound I didn't get that at all), but if you change it I would not go with Voyager since it is too generic. If you google that, you get lots of hits already (mostly NASA and Star Trek, on my end), so it may make it harder for people to find it?
