I love the concept. I cannot tell you how much I hate sites like evite that need to know my email address and spam me and show lots of huge ads.

That said, I think the name is terrible. What does it mean? Is it significant in some other language (than English)? This may just be my age, but when I read it, it reminds me of Clamato - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamato - a disgusting clam-and-tomato-based juice drink. Probably not an association you want to have with your site, though maybe not a problem for your target demographic.



Ha haa - I'd never heard of Clamato before. It sounds horrible!! Yes I would prefer to have a nice sounding name that had something to do with the concept but I can't for the life of me think of one. If associating it with something you hate makes you remember it, that might not be such a bad thing.

If I turn it into such a great site that you love using it, you might see a can of Clamato one day and want to drink it ;)


It sounds exactly like "nailed" in Spanish, but with K instead of C.


Yes, the original concept was for the Spanish market but I thought I'd try using it with this anyway.
