With “total nonsense” I expected something like ZyAbct328 or some crap, like a name you can barely find to stay under the radar.
But Aylo? Wtf is The Verge doing?
Aylo is only “nonsense” because you’re not used to it. What about Sony? Nike? Lego? Cisco? Adobe? …
Just because I was curious: Sony comes from sonos, sound in Latin. Nike is the
RomanGreek God of victory. Lego is is a Danish abreviation for “play well”. Cisco comes from San Fransisco. Adobe is the name of a Creek near the founders house.Of course they have origins, but that is pretty much true of any name. If I look up “Aylo” I find:
Lmao at ‘One who sees seeds’ Anybody on pornhub is sure to see lots and lots of ‘man seed’
To be pedantic, Victoria is the Roman version. Nike (Νίκη) is the Greek version of the goddess.
Oops, yup, very true, I always confuse the Greek and Roman gods 😅
Had it been called ZyAbct328 people would think you’re working for one of Elon’s kids.
Aylo sounds like the name of the finance company. It is boring and generic in that it doesn’t really mean anything. The perfect name.
Where is MindGeek always makes me think of a manufacturer of cheap crappy toys, like novelty mugs that change colour when you pour hot liquid in them and small remote control cars that stick to the ceiling. You know the kind of tat that’s always been sold off in the centre aisles of shopping malls.
You’re thinking of ThinkGeek which was an online store that used to sell all that stuff, but they couldn’t compete with Amazon.
That’s probably why I’m associating the name but I know they are different companies.
