I have seen several commentators say Electroneum need to change its name to be taken seriously. I am not sure this is a good idea because we have already come so far with the name and the symbol ETN. What do you think? Can Electroneum be taken seriously with this name?
I think thatâs one topic there will never be a consensus. I look at it as its just a name. People associate their emotions with things like names and that is their issue to deal with not ours. If someone doesnât like the name its none of anyone elseâs business. Also if they donât get involved in a project just because they donât like the name; that is some superficial BS.

I would like rebrand of logo/name. Community should vote on thisâŚ
This isnât really a community project that we get input on - its a private company - we either like it or we donât right?

Yeah feed back is useful for sure. I donât think the name is something that could be changed now though⌠. Look at all the coins out there now - are there any good names?..I think there would be so many opinions and no way to ever reach a consensus.

There are alot of bigs coins that I think have really bad names I donât think itâs super important personally people are so quick to create nicknames or shorten names for things I donât see it being a big deal. I think the name Electroneum is ok not good or bad.

Agree, I donât like the name either. Itâs too long and saying âetnâ instead doesnât solve it because is doesânt roll well of the tong. So there seems to be something to think about.

So how does âElectroneumâ reflects the needs of our target audience?

I know how branding works 
What Iâve experienced with the name Electroneum is that when I start talking about it it just doesnât feel right. Itâs too long, too spacy, has a sort of hacked-together-project super nerdy FEELING in general. It doesnât feel like an established/professional brandname. (It has to grow offcourse, but after 1 year the name still feels like that, and growing the wrong thing is not the right direction) That might be an opinion, but all the people I talked to are sharing the same feeling. And obviously more people do according to this topic ;-). So yeah, there is something up with the name. More than just a single opinion.

I think there are better things to focus on, so much so Iâll leave this thread as it is. Maybe you should submit a proposition to the team for a rebrand. Best of luck and have a great day.

They could rebrand as âETNâ. I only recently understood that HMV stands for âHis Masterâs Voiceâ. So you can retain your roots, but have a snappier short name.
A project gives a name power by itâs performance. Not the other way around.
The first time I heard of Amazon I thought it was the dumbest name for an online store I had ever heard, along with just about every other âbigâ name brand out there. You will never come up with a name that everyone likes because opinions are like bungholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

IMO electroneum is a perfect name, easy, clean, mysterious.
I like it and would not want it to change, and I donât think it would be very healty for the brand to change now this far in.
I feel it fits very well with what it represents in some way

While the Electroneum name is interesting, I think an easily pronounceable name vs an interesting name is a debate the company needs to have. In Asia I think people, especially older generation will have difficult time with the Lâs and Râs in the name.
I would probably keep Electroneum as the name for the Ecosystem. I would name the currency something short like ETN. Etn coin or credit. If I were to further simplify it to E credits/ coin would be compelling as well. I think linking the simple name to the original Electroneum brand/ecosystem is good enough balance.
For the love of God please donât name the coin after Richard â> Electards. It reminds me of âbetardâ(minus b and add r). No offense to the original person who came up with the name. Just my personal opinion.

Richard came up with the name. I love it. Itâs very futuristic, like @BegaMutex said. Itâs a bit different from the rest and makes us stand out in my opinion. We have the logo and name in the office on the wallet and I just love how cool it looks.
