I just thought it might be risky if we chose the wrong name and it flopped. Out of all the millions of names out there that aren't taken, finding the right one is like threading a needle through a haystack.

I said huge job just because of how many references to HIVE we would have to change, seeing as there are still tons of leftover references to steem in our code, adding yet another change would be tedious, but definitely be doable, or maybe we could just get ai to do it for us.

You're right, Facebook changed to Meta with a smooth transition, didn't help their stock any yet though.

I guess the best thing would be to have a contest or something like a giant brainstorming event to get some good ideas flowing.

Here are some ideas for names, since Mastadon is so popular, maybe we should look into other Exquisite unique creatures from the past for a name.

Some food for thought...
Maybe something like Cloudina which has a nice ring to it, making us the earliest and most abundant fossil creature network, kinda like the blockchain.

Or maybe Liopleurodon, has a nice mastadon sounding name lol

or Deinotherium
