Very cool, wishing you the best of luck with this.

One bit of feedback from me, take it or leave it, but the name doesn't feel appealing or memorable. What does it mean?

It makes me think of the Uruk-hai from Lord of the Rings. To me that is not a positive connotation. I feel bad writing anything even slightly negative about what is a really, really awesome project, though, and I hope that you meet with success :)

    Thanks for the kind words! They might not be "standard pretty" but I'd say they're arguably resilient and disciplined, so it's not all bad! :D

Thanks! We'll happily take suggestions, but I read it like "Euro-key". My wife also doesn't love the name, but we couldn't come up with (or find) anything with 5 letters or less that sounded decent so far.

There's no specific meaning, though I can't say I dislike the close name matches with Uruk-hai [1] and Uruk [2]! :)

    I was going to say in my earlier comment that I probably didn't like it because it sounds like Uruk Hai, and the person in the comment below also said it. So safe to.say that's what most of your users will also think of. "Large ugly orc" is a terrible word association for an app even if you personally like it.

    Have you tried searching for meaningful words in other languages? Kagi means key in Japanese, for example. I've had luck with this approach before.
