Product names that tempt fate
I recently saw a post to a mailing list where someone was asking for a consultant with expertise in Typo3, an open source CMS. Now, I know nothing about this CMS, and I’m sure it has its pros and cons, but isn’t that a strange name for something whose primary purpose is to allow people to type in content?
Talk about tempting fate, you’re almost willing your users to make a typo! I’m sure there’s some psychological pattern of subliminal influence that will result.
It’s like calling a telephone “Stutter” or a brand of high heels named “Tumble”.
