> Solvinity is a pretty terrible company name.

I find it okay'ish. At least it's unique. Say, as much as I like Mario Zechner (who doesn't like HNers anymore for whatever reason), naming your product "Pi" is just terribly bad.

Facebook was a good name (hate the company but the name was good). But "Meta" is just dumbfucktarded.

Wait... I've got an idea: I'm going to make a product and name it "Alt". Or "Control".

Really: there are a lot of totally unhelpful name that just confuses everybody, including search engines, humans, and LLMs but I don't think "Solvinity" is that bad.

I've always found Whatsapp a terrible name, but its so established now that 'apping' is understood. If you're big enough it seems that a bad name hardly hold you back.

Reminds me of the old joke:

After Bill and Melinda Gates have their honeymoon, Melinda says, "Now I know why you call it Microsoft."

"To whatsapp" is a common verb, but I have never heard anyone say "apping".

Where do you live where "apping" is understood?

Can confirm that it's an extremely common verb in The Netherlands.
