I’m one of those people that are (still) unwaveringly faithful to Google. I love that company. I (half) joke with my client that the only two reasons I would ever just pick up and leave my business are if 1) Google offers me a job, or 2) Pixar offers me a job.

Now, rumor has it that Google is readying a rollout of an online payment service, not too dissimilar from PayPal. They call it GBuy.

WHAT!?

Please, please tell me that they’re not going to really call it GBuy. Surely somebody has pointed out that GBuy could be pronounced as an abbreviated form of “Goodbye”, as in “Kiss your money g’bye!” Seems obvious to me….

Please, please, please. Especially if you are just starting a business. Have lots of people look at your name. Sometimes they’ll notice something obvious that, due to familiarity, you have missed.
