I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"
So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?
Comment below!
Mdamon41, I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.
aeharding, 
The verbal part is probably my biggest gripe about wefwef. I love it otherwise.
Dick_Justice, 
I'm curious, what do you mean by the verbal part?
mihnt, 
Telling people about it verbally.
thrawn, I don’t like wefwef, mostly because of that (and how it looks like a sex term), but while Voyager sounds cool it has no uniqueness. And while it’s nice to reference Apollo, the entire design already does, the name doesn’t need to. That said I back “LEM” since it does relate, and also relates to Lemmy.
BillyZane, Plus Star Trek
rayrven, +1 for Voyager
timespace, (edited ) I like Voyager! Much better than Wefwef.
I could also see LEM for Lunar Excursion Module, the technical name of the lunar lander during the Apollo missions (a nice nod to Apollo app). Also has the benefit of being similar to Lemmy.
Drunemeton, 
Lemmy Excursion Module!
That has a very nice ring to it.
AusatKeyboardPremi, My vote for LEM. Short, crisp, and fun.
redballooon, wefwef is unique, easy to remember and easy to type. If you search for it, it’s already on page 1.
You hit all the markers for a good brand. That will be hard to recreate with an ancient god name.
Keep it.
ifDogsCouldTalk, This. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Streetdog, If dogs could talk I'd say I completely agree!
ifDogsCouldTalk, Wef wef
Demigod787, Not really, this is barely starting period and the page number 1 post you're talking about is mine where I suggest changing the name to Voyager lol.
redballooon, For me the GitHub repo is on page one.
muzzle, 
I'm not against wefwef, but it sounds a bit silly. I like voyager, but in the end I think that the final word should be that of @aeharding
dismalnow, 
I'm not against wefwef, but it sounds a bit silly.
You reduced my comment for stating the same.
Also - Is this the first instance of #thisyou on the fediverse?
Barns, 
+1 for Voyager
Scheissberg, wefwef is unique as an identity and the all lowercase styling makes it even more so.
I vote for wefwef and hopes it remains that way!
radiated, How about Fluffy for Lemmy
Laice, Voyager Just sound too generic… Maybe Weffy?
xscalibur, I’m not sure if this has been asked but I’m very curious about the origin of the name ‘wefwef’.
Shad0w, Adonis, son of Apollo
Demigod787, Sounds like a dating app that can replace Grindr lol.
speckonsponge, Voyager, Vger 🖖, Delphi
TheFreed, What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
astrozuni, LIF (Lemmy is fun)
wavymoney, Lemmynade? 🍋
