Voyager

Voyager works, literally anything other than wefwef

I quite like Voyager continuing Apollo’s space program theme.

Another option in tribute to Apollo is “Delphi”.

Delphi is the site of the Temple of Apollo and was an ancient sacred precinct and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi.

As well as the links to Apollo, Delphi’s history is of a community sanctuary and a central source of wisdom.

The term Delphi is more unique than Voyager so it will be more searchable and should be easier to secure a domain name.

Here are a few interesting quotes from the Delphi Temple of Apollo wiki:

The Temple of Apollo, was a major part of the Panhellenic religious sanctuary located in Central Greece at Delphi. The temple and sanctuary at large were dedicated to one of the major Greek deities, Apollo.

Within the ancient Greek world, Delphi was considered the center of the universe, marked by the omphalos, or “navel”, of the Earth that was located in Apollo’s sacred temple. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was perceived as an incredibly sacred site, considered a major center of ancient Greek religious practice and belief as well as a place intimately connected to the gods.

The exterior of the temple was also decorated with metopes, with five major depictions of gods and heroes being victorious over monsters, a mirroring of Apollo’s defeat of Python during the mythological founding of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

The priestesses of Apollo, known as the Pythia, served as the oracle for the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Greeks and non-Greeks alike would go to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi from across the Mediterranean and beyond to consult the Pythia on a variety of different topics, ranging from the state level like the establishment of new colonies to the personal level like marriage, children, and health.

I like Voyager! Much better than Wefwef.

I could also see LEM for Lunar Excursion Module, the technical name of the lunar lander during the Apollo missions (a nice nod to Apollo app). Also has the benefit of being similar to Lemmy.

Changing now would not be a good idea. There’s a bunch of Apollo users looking for a new home (I’m in this group) and we’re all hearing about how great wefwef is.

Changing the name risks confusing people and missing new users.

Wefwef is just fine.

I mean Lemmy is named after Lemmywinks, the gerbil that went up Mr. Slave’s ass in South Park, so Wefwef is a great choice in comparison.

Please take this vote for Voyager. It’s a nice nod to Apollo, and it is a real word that people are familiar with.

Voyager is great!

I also like the idea of “shuttle” because that’s the program that came after Apollo in NASA.

What about Phoebus, the Roman name for Apollo?

wefwef is unique, easy to remember and easy to type. If you search for it, it’s already on page 1.

You hit all the markers for a good brand. That will be hard to recreate with an ancient god name.

Keep it.

I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.

wefwef is memorizable, but I’d like to know what it stands for

wefwef is decent, it’s already got some tractions and recognitions, the SEO is already there as well. The logo on the other hand can use some works.

I think wefwef is original and fun. Keep it!

Voyager!
