I don't like either.

Flekko sounds like Blekko (easy to get confused). And what the heck does Flekko mean anyway? Don't just use cute-sounding word, but meaningfully cute-sounding word.

Amusly... I know where you are coming from, but this sounds like a gross grammar throwup. I feel irritated just seeing the word because it is wrong in spelling (why isn't it amusely?), grammar (amuse doesn't go with ly), and sound (rhyme with must or muse?). It just feels wrong. Not just wrong, but three wrongs. If you must use this... use Amusely. At least it is less disgusting-looking.

I am sorry I don't like either names. Hope you don't mind the very direct feedback. If I must choose, I choose Flekko.

I really loce direct feedback, that's the reason why I posted here. Yep, I own that name too (amusely) and Flekko is confusing me with the same reason you've mentioned. Thanks for respond!
