How I came up with my product name - infocaptor

Thinking up names sure can be tricky. Name trends are silly for web
businesses, no doubt - word+ ster, word +r, and now word + ly.

MockupTiger actually fits a name trend I call 'adjective animal', which is
very popular in the jewelry and gallery world - Sleepy Lizard Designs, Golden
Swallow Jewelry, Soaring Eagle, stuff like that. I suppose there are web
businesses with that sort of name, too, MailChimp for instance. It's a good
combination - animals are symbolic, memorable, and having a mascot works well
for many types of marketing and branding.

Just make sure nobody confuses you with my personal favorite auction site,
<http://valuetiger.com/> !

Does anyone else find the number + word naming strategy annoying? I am
referring to people naming websites similar to 37signals
