If the Beatles had sucked, I would hate their name. Not a big fan of the insect. But they transcended what I think is a horrible name by producing an amazing product.
What are some other products/services with horrible names that have transcendent products?
Interesting. I like the name Reddit more than Writely. Maybe I would have thought differently in 2006?
Hubski was a whim. I needed a name, and I liked hub, but it seemed every variation on hub was squatted and I didn't want to be too clever. My last name ends in ski. Half-serious, I checked it and, voila.

I like the name 'hubski'. It even racks up well on all seven of pg's dimensions.
If you can say, 'he jetskied around the marina', then surely you can say, 'he hubskied an interesting link'? :-)
