Voyager

I quite like Voyager continuing Apollo’s space program theme.

Another option in tribute to Apollo is “Delphi”.

Delphi is the site of the Temple of Apollo and was an ancient sacred precinct and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi.

As well as the links to Apollo, Delphi’s history is of a community sanctuary and a central source of wisdom.

The term Delphi is more unique than Voyager so it will be more searchable and should be easier to secure a domain name.

Here are a few interesting quotes from the Delphi Temple of Apollo wiki:

The Temple of Apollo, was a major part of the Panhellenic religious sanctuary located in Central Greece at Delphi. The temple and sanctuary at large were dedicated to one of the major Greek deities, Apollo.

Within the ancient Greek world, Delphi was considered the center of the universe, marked by the omphalos, or “navel”, of the Earth that was located in Apollo’s sacred temple. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was perceived as an incredibly sacred site, considered a major center of ancient Greek religious practice and belief as well as a place intimately connected to the gods.

The exterior of the temple was also decorated with metopes, with five major depictions of gods and heroes being victorious over monsters, a mirroring of Apollo’s defeat of Python during the mythological founding of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

The priestesses of Apollo, known as the Pythia, served as the oracle for the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Greeks and non-Greeks alike would go to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi from across the Mediterranean and beyond to consult the Pythia on a variety of different topics, ranging from the state level like the establishment of new colonies to the personal level like marriage, children, and health.

Voyager works, literally anything other than wefwef

Voyager is ok, but I do like Lunar. Lunar for Lemmy has such a good ring to it.

Changing now would not be a good idea. There’s a bunch of Apollo users looking for a new home (I’m in this group) and we’re all hearing about how great wefwef is.

Changing the name risks confusing people and missing new users.

Wefwef is kinda silly but it has the SEO for it, nothing else on the net will not be the app right?

If I googled voyager I’m picturing some Star Trek results n other random shit (thinking of new people googling or searching the App Store)

Phoebus is cool, but might run into generic SEO and like Tildes……’howd ya say it IRL? Feeebus?? Foe-bus’

Apollo went by many different names if you wanna go down that route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Greco-Roman_epithets

Lyre. Lyre for Lemmy. Apollo played a lyre and it’s a cool sounding word.

What about Phoebus, the Roman name for Apollo?

wefwef is memorizable, but I’d like to know what it stands for

I’m not sure if this has been asked but I’m very curious about the origin of the name ‘wefwef’.

wefwef is decent, it’s already got some tractions and recognitions, the SEO is already there as well. The logo on the other hand can use some works.

Voyager is great!

I also like the idea of “shuttle” because that’s the program that came after Apollo in NASA.

Am I the only one who doesn’t know what wefwef stands for?

Wefwef is just fine.

I mean Lemmy is named after Lemmywinks, the gerbil that went up Mr. Slave’s ass in South Park, so Wefwef is a great choice in comparison.
