Help name a Fiber ISP

4 pointsby pmccarrenalmost 9 years ago
I'm looking for help to name a new Fiber ISP based in Michigan. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Quickhatch.<p>One of Michigan&#x27;s state nicknames is &quot;The Wolverine State&quot; and quickhatch is another term for a wolverine. It has the word &quot;quick&quot; in it which gets across the message that fiber = fast. Additionally it&#x27;s low competition in Google as the only results that come up are a knife company and a few dictionary listings.<p>Boom. Check please. :)

I am less tech savvy than a lot of people here on HN. I had to look up fiber and the first hits were for dietary fiber. But it looks like you mean high speed internet.<p>If so, I will suggest you go with something that a generic internet user doesn&#x27;t need to Google to comprehend. I assume you want to sell to everyone, not just tech insiders, since everyone needs internet these days. Plus &quot;Sell to the masses, live with the classes. Sell to the classes, live with the masses.&quot;<p>So:<p>Data Demon<p>Mi Data Demon<p>Mi Broadband<p>Mi Internet<p>Mi-Fi

Well, FiberUP -- but I doubt that&#x27;s your geographic center. ;-)<p>FiberUS -- potential for use beyond Michigan.<p>FiberMi or FiberMI -- could pronounce &quot;me&quot;, though might be confusing.<p>I like ubertaco&#x27;s &quot;Pure Fiber&quot;. I trust you are to the premises? ;-)

When I think &#x27;fiber,&#x27; I think of a fast, tensile, vaguely biological apparatus whose overarching job is to shunt. For an edgy, thundrous, monosyllabic word, &#x27;Shunt&#x27; works quite nicely for an ISP I think. It&#x27;s fun to say, too: &#x27;Shunt.&#x27;

Michigan Fiber<p>FiberOne<p>FiberHand (playing off Michigan looks like a hand)<p>How important is it to have fiber or relations to fiber in the name?

iRefract (just kidding)<p>Do you want &quot;Fiber&quot; in the name? &quot;Web&quot;? &quot;Internet&quot;? &quot;Michigan&quot;?<p>(riffing off keane) - FiberStream - EchoLine - CloudLine

Pure Fiber? (playing off of the Pure Michigan tourism slogan)
