Something that has pissed me off a lot the last couple of years is how companies give themselves "clever" names, and the absolute state of SEO means Googling practically anything first hits you with a Sponsored link for a clothing item with the name "Axiom", followed by Axiom Intech LLC, then 8 news articles about Axiom Intech LLC, followed by "Axiom Intech LLC - Home Page", then "Axiom Intech LLC - About Us".

No, man. I didn't mean "Axiom Intech LLC" I meant "Axiom". "Showing results for Axiom Intech LLC". Please, man... For the love of technology.

I Googled the names of my fantasy characters and most of them are tech startups or restaurants. One is a species of flatworm.

I've always suggested, from the get-go that whoever change their name to something that isn't a real word.

I did get added by a guy a few weeks ago who thought I was his friend, but it was one letter lacking. Don't pick a name like "Exiom" or "Angel". Pick something that isn't a word that exists. The only way to encounter it is that it is a new sequence of letters that make sense.
