Feedback: change the name The current name will prevent this product/company from ever making it to the mainstream, or at least make it way less likely. A great name can truly make a huge difference. An OK name that sticks is a necessity. A name that is mostly “anus” is actively bad.

To the OP, I say forget this advice. There's a headhunting company called Monster, arguably the worst possible name, especially for that business. Last time I checked they were doing fine. The truly worst thing is not being talked about.

Manus means hand in Latin, not a bad name at all for a tool that lends you a hand. Some people will recognize this, others not. They'll be fine, or if not, it won't be for that reason.

There is also MongoDB, which is also doing fine despite the very unfortunate name.
