So, we need to make a decision on the #Damus app name in Chinese. Here’s the feedback from one of our Chinese translators when I pitched switching it from 大妹子 to 大麦子.
“That is also a great idea but I would still vote for 大妹子. First if all, 大妹子 means a talkative goddess which has a kind and funny perception outperforms the pale meaning of a wheat 大麦子. Apparently 大妹子 is more social than 大麦子. Secondly, 大妹子 is closer to the pronunciation of Damus than 大麦子 does. At last, there already exists a very popular performance ticket app named 大麦 which is the TicketMaster in China. It brings unnecessary difficulty for users and search engines to distinguish 大麦子 from existing 大麦. Therefore, 大妹子 is unique and beautiful to be the name.” But they’re willing to honor the choice of the community.
Moss (npub129z…y5gm) jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) and other Chinese speakers. What are your thoughts?
