Ok so there are _ten_ different services just to _name_ your startup? Duuude seriously?

Here's yet another API for generating startup names (feel free to change the "baseWord" param):

I did not get 11K upvotes on the first day. This is from 2,5 years. After my launch day I was the #2 most upvoted product, 1 week later it was the #1 most upvoted product. I think on the first day it got 1500 upvotes. Check https://medium.com/startup-grind/how-i-launched-the-2-most-u... to read how I launched it.
