We are looking for a name for our startup and hesitate on idea, pronunciation and interpretation of our branding name in different cultures and languages.

First of its kind Massive open online deliberation (MOOD) platform. We allow voices around the world to argue in one deliberation per topic without mediation nor censorship.

The names found so far are: 1. Woodpecka 2. WeEcho 3. WeEcko 4. W3Echo 5. any suggestions?

Don't be shy, we are asking you for a good reason.. so what on your mind? Any preferences or suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your help!

plaonics? Dialectic? if you are feeling cheeky cacaphony
Thanks a lot!!! Great imagination!
Woodpecka

Too many weird sexual connotations / jokes fall out of that. I wouldn't use that.

WeEcho

Maybe.

WeEcko

Personally I'm not a fan of uncommon spellings and things that don't look the same as how they're pronounced. I'd probably skip this one.

W3Echo

Too geeky, plus see above.

5. any suggestions?

--> voices around the world

VoicesAroundTheWorld.com? (too long?)

WorldVoices.com? (may already be taken, but might be available under a different tld)

WeDeliberate.tld?

DeliberateVoices.tld?

or go with a nod to the greeks:

SocraticVoices.tld?

Thank you for your detailed opinion
