What's Not In A Name?

These Sphereo Bluetooth speakers have almost everything: Good sound, wireless charging, stereo functionality, and a low price.The only thing they’re missing is a non-shitty name.We get it (we think). Sphereo is trying to be a portmanteau of sphere and stereo, since theyre sorta shaped like spheres and have stereo sound. But what could have been a clever way of highlighting a distinguishing characteristic of these Bluetooth speakers (i.e. stereo sound instead of the typical mono) is overshadowed by the shittiness of the name.Are we being too harsh on the name Sphereo? Does it matter what the speakers are called if they sound good and charge wirelessly? Yes, it does, and no, were not.Consider this: When first reading the name of these speakers did you at first think they were made by the techie toymaker Sphero? Only one letter separates them, after all. And one is a hugely popular brand with Star Wars license deals, whereas the other is not.In fact, when you search Sphereo, Google asks Did you mean: Sphero? in its obnoxious, paternalistic fashion. In fact, even when you force Google to search for Sphereo, the top results are YouTube videos in which users have misspelled the toy.Who would give their product a name that would struggle so much in search results? Apparently a company called Moxxi, which loses in search results to the Borderlands character [Mad Moxxi](Do you use the same username everywhere? ) and might confuse some aged readers who think of the invigorating soft drink:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/image/upload/v1508276726/amoptwzq4nhjzbnrgcug.jpgPlus their logo looks like it should be slapped on an energy drink can from the mid-2000s:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/image/upload/v1508276852/gixji9wsmwjo1wzx4ikh.pngAll that said, were glad that Moxxi" decided to name their Bluetooth speakers Sphereo. Not only did we get to make fun of them relentlessly for it, but it means we get to sell their solid product at a low price.So lets raise our Moxxi-and-vodkas high and give a toast: To shitty names!
