Yggdrasil Network

I get why the name was used but if you start a project that you want to be heavily adopted, please pick a simpler name. The complexity of spelling or pronouncing this for most people creates an actual barrier to adoption. MP3 was easy to say and tell your friends about, Ogg Vorbis was not.

Ogg Vorbis seems very pronounceable to me, and without an obvious wrong way to say it, using an english language perspective.

Yggdrasil is a wild one, though, agreed. Better a unique name than another thing called Gemini or Atom or something, though.

No, Fred is right - it would better if it was atom or gemini, that's literally what he is saying.

Yggdrasil - I just had to type the entire word out and even then autocorrect didn't tell me I had a word. I think the Mp3 vs Ogg Vorbis is perfect analogy.

Tbh, I wouldn't use a Scandinavian language word for a global application as it will automatically frustrate any English as a second language users - the words defy practically all rules of English, they frustrate me even as no matter if I can read them, I often have no idea how to pronounce them unless I've already heard them said.

This is one of those words I encountered many times before I first heard it said and actually knew how to say it.
