Re: Changing a team name

If you ever think a name is dumb or silly, think about this.

Back in 1976, I'm pretty sure that the 3 kids who named their company after a fruit were scoffed at, made fun of, and otherwise ignored. Now they have one of the highest market caps in the history of the stock market. The brand is so easily recognizable if someone randomly said the name you'd wonder whether they were talking about the fruit or the company. While many people disagree with their philosophy on products (I don't think they're the best products 'ever') most would agree that their recent business strategies around their brand are dead-on correct.

Honestly, you could name your team "Orange" or "Banana" (I think Apple isn't allowed at this point...); the name itself has nothing to do with the drive, motivation, and eventual success you'll have.
