I really loved the original name—it had just the right connotation and sound. The logotype and mark were beautiful. Coach.me makes it feel much different for me :( In fairness, though, I'm probably not your ideal user. I only ever really wanted a simple habit tracker to keep me flossing, at Inbox Zero, and going to bed early.

@brandon_weiss try Upkeep or Timely for habit-tracking.

@tonystubblebine Coach.me may not be the sexiest, most creative name but it does a good job of describing what it's for. Too many makers get too creative, imho, using esoteric names or marketing copy to communicate what they do. Abstract names can work but nothing's wrong with being direct. :)

@rrhoover What do you think about directness in the era of app stores? I'm always struck by how many popular apps have incredibly direct names.

@rrhoover Neither of those are quite right, although [Goalie](https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is close. It's not in the app store right now because @kylebragger just sold it, but hopefully it will reappear in the future.

@brandon_weiss I wanted to give a tactical answer about this on ProductHunt, so thanks for asking this question over here. Before I go super pragmatic, let me preface this by saying everything we do is pre-vetted for being impactful and interesting. I think of this as my life's work and without impact and interest, it's just not worthwhile. The Lift name… See more
