I don't think the name is that bad. iDeal sounds very dated to me as a native English speaker.

It sounds like a coupon website installing malware to me. But... names are just names. When adoption gets large enough, every name becomes unimportant I guess.

iShares, iDeal, WhatsApp: the Millenial trinity of European essentials :D

How would you even pronounce wero as a native English speaker?

We - ro? Wer-o?

At least iDeal was unambiguous.

Thankfully, only about 2% of the EU population speaks English natively.

I heard the gimmick was euro (you-ro) -- wero (we-ro). Which leaves ayero and dayro.

I mean, who cares how you pronounce it? Each country will have its own variant, similar to how euro is pronounced differently in different places, and eventually one will become the English status quo
