Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I'm not good with names. I'll most likely come up with something different.

[taf2 → alex-m]

Don't change your name. It doesn't matter and it's short. Good luck

Google was called "Backrub" before it was called Google[0] so a suboptimal name doesn't portend failure - focus on the product first! Nice work.

Seconded.

there is nothing wrong with the name, it's catchy and memorable ... and like Flickr and twttr you know.. it doesn't matter..

and always remember, if one is being 'critical' does not make them 'right' too. yep listen to it carefully, but do not assume they are right 'automatically'

I like the name, I'd keep it if I were you.

[joshbaptiste → Zikes]

no issue with the name.. small and I can easily differentiate from other hosting services.

litgit - hella fast git

Yeah, I'd recommend it just to avoid confusion with other projects with a similar name. I was looking for more information on your project (before you had replied to some people) and some other uses.

It's short, and unique. Which means it has a brand associated with it. Using generic words, is worse than goofy "web2.0" cliches, in my opinion.
