because if someone said, hey go to this site "trycilantro" to help find jobs - I would immediately have an aversion to it and the likelihood of me going there would be lower. I would also have an aversion to try helping out on that site.

You've lost ~10% of your client base right there.

Wow, that increased from 5% to 10% in half an hour! Or are you suggesting either that cilantro aversion is higher among tech workers, or that people who don't dislike cilantro will also be put off by the name?

I think if Wii and iPad can get past those names then this'll be fine.

5% on one side, 5% on the other side (presumably independent varibables, but minus a little bit to account for overlap hence ~10% not 10%). "client base" was the wrong turn of phrase, should have said "traffic potential". I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I could have done the math wrong.
