That was the first name I checked. It's tempting...

(kax is phonetically close to a German word for "shit" which kind of holds me back still...)

It's also phonetically identical to the English 'slang' word for exactly the same thing . . . sounds bad :P

In Dutch, the second half has the same problem as in German. The first half is literally taken neutral, but a slight phonetic variation not so much. In all, not really great as regards Dutch.

Speaking of scatology, when reading PortaXplorer the next thing heard in my head was PortaPottiĀ®.

I think made up names work well for companies and web services. Having a file manager called Shoozim or Frubber or similar just seems .. wrong.

But hey, might just be me -- it works for some software, Skype comes to mind.

Btw, just checked, Shoozim is still available, Frubber is taken, sorry :lol:.
