> But the discovery of most IT apps comes from written communication - blog posts, Google searches, etc.

Well, yeah, precisely the original reasoning behind the name. The problem is that we can't promote through any channels that require pronouncing the name and there are quite a few really good ones.

So the name is vulgar when pronounced? That's awesome! You must work in a really chill organization.

Also, you definitely want to change the name. Lots of organizations aren't that chill, and you haven't sold anything to them yet.

Well then it sounds like the option is pretty binary - change it.
