It's too limiting to outsiders. From experience, the second you mention blockchain-related terms, people run. People who, moments before, may have said its an excellent idea. Add those words and they run. It's not real money, must be a scam, etc.
Plus, if we ever expand in a way that isn't entirely blockchain-sourced, it wouldn't make sense
I don't see why naming is so important, but I vote for STEMist, the only one out of the three that doesn't end in ist is mathematician.
Also a simple UI would be great, I kind of hate side bars and boxes everywhere.
Also STEMizen from citizen is the first thing that came to mind, but that's because I saw STEM everywhere.
But I'm adding rather than focusing, I don't like 80% of the poll names, so systemic is the most likely I'd pick, it sounds interesting and related to the topic and not related to the technology.
The results come down to 4 of them, 3 of which I like but I agree some were some throw-away names at least to some degree.
The reason I don't want something like 'stemizen' or 'stemist' is because, taken as a word, is not a very recogniseable keyword when it comes to SEO or marketing at all.
Something like Stem Sight, or even VeroSpace have extremely popular search terms built in. This is important to not get trapped in the tunnel vision of a small community blockchain.
Portmanteau brands can work, IF they have the marketing power to make that name like a household name. Otherwise, people are just going to frown and be like 'wtf is that?'.
This is also the downside of 'verospace', however, verospace is more liberating than any names with 'stem', since our goals are broader than catering to simply the subjects associated with STEM. We also curate economics, history, architecture and so forth.
So, each name in the top 3 have their pros and cons, but since it's been close to two weeks I've been trying to think of this, I don't imagine there's anything better that suits the marketing, ease-of-remembrance, easy to say/type whilst also being available and affordable.
Names, in short, are very important! There wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar industry dedicated to it, if it wasn't
