Tips for choosing a name
Keep it under 4 words — shorter names are easier to remember and share.
Say it out loud. Does it sound good? Is it easy to pronounce?
Check if the name is available on Instagram, Facebook, and as a domain.
Avoid dates or years — your group will outlast the year in the name.
Test it with 3-5 people who don't know the context. If they get it immediately, it works.
A name that describes the feeling (e.g. 'The Shipping Crew') often outlasts one that describes only the activity.
Consider your audience: job seekers, open source contributors, and bootcamp grads each respond to different vibes.
If you run workshops, include a word that signals learning ('Code', 'Build', 'Workshop'). If you're social, lead with community words ('Collective', 'Crew', 'Circle').
Tech wordplay works, but only if it's clear on first read — too obscure and people won't remember it.
