What does everyone think about "Verbosity" as a possible product name? (either for a new version of PlecoDict or possibly as a name for a new product we're thinking about)
Verbosity.com is available (though not cheap), which is part of why it's an appealing option. The main brand here would still be "Pleco," this would just be a way of having something more original than "PlecoDict" or "Pleco Dictionary" - "Pleco Verbosity" or "Pleco Software Verbosity" or "Verbosity 2.0 by Pleco Software" or something along those lines. The highest-ranked Google result for "verbosity" has about the same PageRank as our website, so it wouldn't be difficult for us to ensure that we'd come up first in search results on the word.
My biggest worry is that it's not all that common a word, so along with the misspelling potential (verbocity.com, oddly enough, is being used by someone) among native English speakers, there's also the problem of whether or not it would be recognized / appreciated by non-English speakers. But it's not like "Pleco" is that common a word either, and in general I think that having a product name that's an actual word is better than having a two-words-jammed-together one like PlecoDict.
