Sodium's new name! Looking for some input!

I personally love how they have the audacity to call it "user friendly" It's neither of those things. All out teacher hate it with a passion.

The worst ticketing system ever made. Web based, looks right out of the 90s and confuses the hell out of everyone who uses it.
Why do people keep buying it?
It's from 1999, to be fair.
My theory is that our CFO has a brother or sister working for them. The guy won't listen to any reason about it at all.
Is especially frustrating because our previous system (Spiceworks) was easy to use, did everything we needed perfectly and was completely free (we were actually in a budget crisis at the time).

I think you meant Helpy McDeskface
But I do like BananaDesk and NaBrO. Not too sure about Camelot though.

That works a bit better.
Not too sure about Camelot though.
Knights of the round table... Knights of the round helpdesk... That sort of a theme. Slay the dragons pestering your end users.

Go to Google Adwords keyword tool and plug in sodium there. See what people are actually looking for. Perhaps add salt stack, salt app, etc.

Oh this is a really good tip. I had no idea that the keywords tool was a thing. Thanks!

Who cares that sodium is currently hard to search.
Do you think that chocolatey was a high hit result in the beginning?
Chocolatey is a made up name though, right? Once it had any traction, looking for the name brings it up. Sodium competes with an awfully common element. Hard to say "look up Sodium" to someone without a bit of extra explanation and have it be something that they can find. If it is "Sodium Something", that might fix that. But Sodium alone is a little hard, I think.
The word chocolatey has existed for a long time. It is an adjective. So when they first released they had to overcome that.
This is a good point and something I hadn't thought of, but do we really want to make our road more difficult than it needs to be? Still something to think about though.

Nah - facebook will sue over that one.

I like SodiumAssist or SodiumIT
-
I guess the question is do you want to continue with the Sodium brand that has been built up around the ML community?
-
Sodium Catalyst
Simply Sodium -
Since Sodium is more than just a helpdesk and has asset management, then I'm for:
SodiumIT
or
Sodium Solutions
-
Something for a tagline might be "A little sodium (or salt) helps, SodiumDesk"
-
omnivision although it sounds like something that would've been sold with the classic gameboy
