Looking back at my Q1 this year I was sick that I still didn't pursue a business idea.
I was action faking as hard as Elon Musk trolls the internet.
For example, I was reading a lot of books which added even more stuff on my To Do list of other books to read. I read tons of articles which let me add even more stuff on my To Dos List and was skimming endlessly on gold and notable threads.
Anyway, that's hopefully a story for another time.
Today I'm contacting you fellow Fastlane members for my following problem.
I've finally decided to give my best idea a shot and another wonderful thing happened. I came up with even more ideas on scaling or eventually pivoting or even if it totally fails I'll have acquired much valuable experience that I can use somewhere else again.
But I'm getting out of topic again.
Ok now seriously, the thing I need your help for is advising me on naming my new web app.
Without revealing too much information, the name and purpose of the app is a widely used term on the internet.
Now here is my problem:
Before launching this web app I want to make sure that people that search online will stumble upon it. So, therefore, I'd like that thing to climb up in the SEO Rankings. I'm not going to rely on SEO but I don't want to kill it before even starting.
Now since the general name will have a VERY hard time competing with the other results the question remains:
Thanks in advance for any valuable advice.
Oh and before I leave, I'm going to quote the following "Naming is hard"

Now since the general name will have a VERY hard time competing with the other results the question remains:
- Should I still go for this widely used name and hope that the SEO mechanics, in the end, will somehow work out?
- Should I just go for a brand name like "UBER" which if you didn't know what it was you would have no idea what it is?
- I should think of something similar but not totally the same and create a brand name (similar name but kind of different)
- Any other valuable advice coming up from you? Please post below
Thanks in advance for any valuable advice.
