Suggestion: even though you are explicitly imitating imgur for a different medium, don't say it out loud. If you want to convince imgur to work with/buy/fund you first, fine, but otherwise, two things intuitively make it seem like a bad idea:

1. potential legal issues with referring directly or indirectly to imgur

2. it really comes off as a cheap copycat rather than a unique product serving a different (albeit somewhat similar) purpose.

Come up with a creative name indicative of the fact that it is in fact a standalone, not dependent on or related to imgur itself in any way.

That's fair criticism - I'm open to the idea of changing the name. However, I'm not too concerned about the legal issues with imgur - I've spoken with Alan (the creator/CEO) in person and directly told him I would change the name - he said not to worry about it. I think the idea that Audiour is coming off as a 'cheap copycat' is a concern though. It's something I'll definitely think about.

I agree that the name "Audiour" has a few issues, but the cheap copycat issue isn't that big in my opinion. You're clearly doing something else. A copycat name would be if you were using the name "imgour" or something like that.

The problem with the name "Audiour" is that it's not easily pronouncable. If I remember correctly, imgur was aimed to mimic the word "imager". When I read "Audiour" the first thing I think of is an audiotour in a museum. When I try to pronounce it, I have the choice between "audi-our", "audio-er" or "audi-oor".

If you're interested, I bought soundur.com because in my opinion that's a much better name.
