 TOP 10 

I’m doing it out of love for the devs because I want them to succeed with proper names 😅😅

@PABLOF7z  multiple appearance on the list is largely due to the law of large numbers - once you create 420 apps there’s some bound to have names on the list below 😂


Ananostr
Freerse
Nmostr
Nostril
Nostur
Nostrmo
Onlyfaaaaaaaans

 Yakihonne has a unique and memorable name with strong etymology

 It’s a mouthful and not very relatable to what it does

You literally have to translate it for people

 🤣 named them with love ❤️ 

My basic criteria for good names:

- easy to say
- easy to spell 
- is somehow related to what it does / provide 
- memorable 
- short

Nosta fails spelling; relevance and memorable.

But like you said, fine for early stage

 I think these names are fine for early phases of projects. Rethinking name & brand is a good exercise if/when they grow and "professionalize" a bit.

 It’s hard to come up with good names, won’t argue that. I understand why people would rather just build and not spend too much time on naming 👍
