Is it shallow, or petty, to decide based on name alone? Yeah, pretty much, but there’s probably something, a product or service or site, that the name has made you gloss right over it or jump to it ASAP.
What are some examples that spring to mind for you?

So easy! Whatsapp!
Dumbest. Name. Ever.
So hopelessly of its time, namely that moment when the word “app” was the coolest thing ever among normies because iPhone.
And, cherry on the top, coined by geeks with language skills so poor that they thought “app” rhymes with “up”, which it absolutely does not to anyone who speaks English properly.
What an embarrassingly dumb name.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but given the literal billions of users I’d say they absolutely nailed it.
