Not a fan of the name. I read it as linked in, thinking it was a bookmark service by linked in at first. Perhaps, the counter positive, dinkling.

I honestly didn't think of linked in whatsoever when I read that name.
I did
I'm sorry about the confusion, it definitely wasn't my intention to bounce off the LinkedIn brand to promote this. As explained in the README, it's really just a cute name, especially in german.

I like your suggestion too, but I would hold off from renaming unless I can say with certainty that it is a common issue.

linkding is a fun and cute name. Please don't change it!
Maybe LinkDing with an uppercase 'D'? (Then still works in the same way in German ? :-))
I like the name, but it does sound like linked in in my head.
