Interesting name

[cma5]

For people living in Germany, we already have a similar problem with Figma

[junon]

I've never noticed this until now and now I can't unsee it.

[VMG]

I did not until now

infohazard!

[GlebShalimov]

In no way did I put any bad meaning in the the name

[signalmasse]

And wix

[InsideOutSanta]

That name makes me slightly upset and afeared. The game looks nice, though.

[GlebShalimov]

the name Pegma is a play on words that combines: "peg" (peg, token) is the main element of the game and "theorema", which is associated with mathematical rigor and logic

[GlebShalimov]

Why?

[InsideOutSanta]

It reads like a portmanteau of pegging and smegma. Hope that helps, although I'm afraid it will do the opposite.

[mtizim]

For me it's also that it works as a joke setup, just like "ligma" or "updog".

[tecleandor]

There's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)

[GlebShalimov]

Oh, I didn't know

[abcd_f]

There's also smegma, which is not a whole lot better.

[Tade0]

It appears that every short word means something obscene in some language.

Advice would then be to avoid short names for products altogether.

[junon]

Yes, the intent is very clear.

EDIT: It seems based on other comments you are genuinely unaware of how it sounds, which is totally fine - I feel someone should let you know it sounds like "peg me" or "smegma", which uh... well, ask an LLM what they mean, I suppose. I don't particularly want that in my HN comment history. :D

[GlebShalimov]

Thanks for the explanation

[GlebShalimov]

Thank you
