I think we should revert to my idea from 2015: Netbits...
...Netbits would the decentralized ledger project and the currency name. Most users would only come to know the name from the name of the tokens they receive.
It was interesting to revisit that part of the thread
While Netbits does lose out on ultimate uniqueness, it does seem to fulfill the function of being catchy, while at the same time is acceptable in a "serious" sense; coinmarketcap etc, and expresses its links to the internet and the token. On this score, it will probably be difficult to beat, considering how many good names are already taken. And it's only two syllables.
I tried thinking of names that begin with "Bits" rather than end with it, but the cupboard seemed to be bare of original ones. All too easy to get corny and/or desperate.
The mass market website is likely to be one of the more popular DApps, so could be Uncommons, Bleep, Keeper, Immortal and/or Oodles. Users will arrive at one of those mass market DApps, and when they join they will receive some tokens. Many third parties can produce DApps, so eventually there may not be one monolithic name which presents to the mass market of users.
Right, I see. So it's likely to be quite flexible in its evolution.
Currently I like Uncommons for the Wikipedia, Medium, and Reddit clones1. For a gaming portal I like Oodles or Immortal. For a Youtube clone, I like Uncommons, Bleep or Oodles. Keeper or Stor could be for a Dropbox clone for file archival and hosting.
Well for me personally, I'm with you for Uncommons as the Wiki/Medium/Reddit clones, then Immortal for gaming, with Keeper for archiving. I'm undecided between Bleep and Oodles for the Youtube clone (depending on how important the emphasis should be placed on communicating its uncensored nature). Out of the two I'd go for the combined catchiness and allusion to cornucopia of Oodles.
My 18 year old daughter prefers
CREDovernetbits. She said it is easier to remember and vocalize. Her perspective is from a social media user, not from our niche altcoin speculator markets. I forgot to ask her aboutibits, which is more personalized “i+bits” connoting perhaps “my bits”.Remember I started from trying to think of a better project name for the decentralized ledger separate from any mainstream social media dApps that might be built on top of it. So my brainstorm progression was Hyperdata + CRED → Interdata + ?→Interbits + ibits → Netbits + netbits.
Perhaps Hyperdata + CRED is still the best. Problem again is that people associate hyper- with fast and not the more generalized meaning which applies in this case.
The project and ledger name is really a different target demographic (speculators and geek developers) from the mainstream dApps.
I have new idea: dData
dApps need a decentralized ledger. Seems that ledger should be name dData. Seems to perfectly hit the target demographic for the project and ledger name.

I haven’t ever lost enthusiasm for CRED... Only question I would raise for dData is how it’s vocalised. dData just sounds like data. Or would it be “d-data”? How might someone know when just reading it? Why not dLedger or dLog etc?

I read it as "d-data", but whether, say, non-English speakers would I don't know.

I agree dLedger may be better than dData. I registered some of the
dledger.*domains. Thanks for the feedback.Regarding your other question, I analyzed Hashgraph in part 2 of the blog series you posted to.

Cheers mate. BTW don’t know if I’ve said it but your posts and insights are very much appreciated

I do myself too. Did she give you feedback on any of the other recent name suggestions; "Oodles" for instance?
Agree.
For me, I think johhnyflynn's dLedger, just edges it for appealing to "speculators and geek developers". A pretty good one for a combined project and ledger name. If that were chosen, would you still use ibits for the token name, as it is catchy?
I thought of another too for a social media / token name (but haven't trawled previous posts to check if it's been used as a suggestion already), which is:
Grats or Gratz (with perhaps GRTZ as a ticker) which implies a gift as in "grateful"; "Grazie", Italian for "thank you", and also an informal shortening of "congratulations", celebrating a gift of tokens for content etc.
