"Gurn" is actually in the English dictionary and it's meant "to pull an ugly face" long before it was linked to drug taking. In fact the World Gurning Championships have been running since the 13th century.

Frankly though, if your naming requirements are "must not appear in Urban Dictionary", then people might as well just give up naming things now. UD pretty much has every real and imaginary word in its database as well as half of all the possible acronyms in the world too.

Hey, I'm one of the co-founders of Gurn... Yeah the name is definitely a talking point!

In the UK, you're spot om, it does have the connotation of pulling an ugly face - the exact same type of face all our colleagues used to pull when they couldn't find the web resources they needed! Outside of the UK people tend to see it just as a short and memorable 4-letter word :-)

Using Gurn as the name is also a pun on how the tool works - you type 'go' in the address bar, followed by a keyword. The Keyword acts like an old school URN... So you 'go urn'... hence Gurn :-)

Nice woody sort of word, "gurn".
