Comment on Why picking a name for a startup does matterComments−hansy15yIs it better to:-create a name using a combination of existing words? (e.g. MySpace, RadioShack, etc.)-create a name that doesn't really mean anything to a majority of users (but possibly memorable)? (e.g. Twitter, Tumblr, etc.)-create a name from existing word(s) but change the spelling for funkiness? (e.g. Digg, Reddit, etc.)-create a name derived from another language?

That matters too. Don't try to satisfy the entire world. That won't work ;-)
