Re: Experience on using AquaMeter tool

you don't have to go far away: APPLE

how come Steve Jobs chose a name that is (I quote you)
"
a) Sounds like something totally different?
b) Is prone to being very generic?
c) Impinges on trademarks/names of other companies?
"

Do you have respect for Steve Jobs, his company ?

P.s.: the Beatles were earlier out with APPLE

And in fact there ended up being a major dispute between Apple Computer and Apple Beatles, which lasted ALMOST 30 YEARS and hurt both companies.

So your example fails.

I was aware of the dispute.

In your eyes my example fails, but it might not in the opinion of someone else.

I think our "dispute" is about subjective views.

If you google for aqua and trademark together you get many hits.
So, Sevana isn't the only company using "aqua" (water)

Imagine all those companies using "aqua" taking this issue to court...
Legal firms would be happy! But who else?

As far as I'm concerned: I consider this "thread" closed.

Yes, but all those others actually relate to water in real life.

A big, big thing is SEO (search engine optimization).

If you choose a name for your product that is already used by many other products, AND which is inherently misleading as well, that is NOT a good business plan and NOT good for SEO.

If that company took my advice and changed to a clearer and more unique name, their sales would increase significantly.

Done here as well.

\ I agree. In order to summarize it: It is a stupid, misleading name.
