It's pronounced wanderfull in Norwegian




And how many of your users are going to have Nordic backgrounds?

I personally thought it was wander _fughel_ or something.

Let alone how difficult it is to remember how to spell it and look it up on Google.


Just FYI, I would read it out loud in English as “wander fuggle”. I would assume most Americans would pronounce the ‘g’.

I thought ‘wanderfugl’ was a throwback to ~15 years ago when it was fashionable to use a word but leave out vowels for no reason, like Flickr/ /Tumblr/Scribd/Blendr.


The one current paying user of the app I've seen in this discussion called it "Wanderlog". FYI on the stickiness of the current name.

wanderlog is a separate web service

https://wanderlog.com/


"Wanderful" would be a better name.
