Thank you to everyone for participating!

Final Vote Tally

Aureum: 6 Votes!

Boolberry: 45 votes!
A. Keep Boolberry as main name BBR as ticker: 15 votes
B. Make BBR the brand with Boolberry in the official, but not branded name: 7 votes


And Boolberry has been confirmed by the community as the official (and ORIGINAL) name! Congratulations!

Now we will be updating the OP of the Boolberry (BBR) main thread and we will start with out fundraising and development outline announcements in short time.

Thanks again for your votes!

There wasn't exactly a lot of suggestions from what I saw. And it seems people just want to move on from this anyway.

BoolBerry has my vote.

I will abstain from choice "A" or "B" and let that be determined by the community at large.

Boolberry  BBR as ticker

Keep Boolberry. I like this name.

That about sums it up perfectly.

I think we were exposed to so many *Coins that the masses were not able to accept entirely different nomenclature. Monero is a brilliant name and so is Boolberry. The rejection of the name was our own bias since most of us had gone in with Monero initially and then there was the whole "Quazar" guy fudding with his coin, it became difficult to not overlook Boolberry. Then came the rethink strategy fud and in didn't help with anything else other than Monero from a CryptoNote perspective.

Over time though, it just stands out and the polarization it creates itself is a great vehicle to always keep it in limelight.

It's Zoidberg's crypto, so I will also go with Boolberry

As I've stated before, I think the name Boolberry in general is a good one for something other than an anonymous crypto. Even for a crypto, it's an alright name. But I think if you and everyone else here believes that there aren't people out there who actually are dismissing BBR based on the name alone then I think you guys are wrong about that. I like BBR, but ever since I've been following it I've seen a fairly consistent amount of people bashing it based on the name alone. Some of these people are surely just Monero holders looking to get a jab in on BBR, but even so, some of those Monero holders might have dismissed BBR outright before they made their choice to buy XMR.

People here obviously like the name, and that's great. It's a community project and that the way these things work. But I don't think people should be under the impression that there aren't people out there who won't invest in something called Boolberry.

Some people might be voting with this logic:
 
I like the name Boolberry therefore we should keep the name.

Where as I think people should make sure their logic goes like this:

I like the name Boolberry enough to dismiss the risk of outsiders rejecting the currency outright based on the name. I realize that there are x% of people who don't see the name as one that should be attached to an anonymous cryptocurrency. But I like the name enough that I feel I get more utility out of keeping the name Boolberry, than I would from the economic utility of likely gaining more money through targeting a larger market.

x% in the above might be a tiny insignificant number, or it might be significant. Without market research we can only go off our experiences in the community here(basically Bitcointalk and the Poloniex troll box).

As an aside it's also possible that the x% for Aureum is higher than the x% Boolberry. So this isn't meant to be some sort of argument that everyone should be choosing Aureum. We don't really know how the public feels since we have no data.

But the big thing is that this a a very biased population here, as everyone who has an interest in BBR now by definition is not someone who dismissed BBR outright because of its name.

Also, you're other points about marketing BBR are good and educating people on BBR and how it's different than other cryptos is great.

2 A  and keep Boolberry  as the main brand with BBR as the ticker

2. Boolberry
    A. Keep the name

It's memorable and the branding/logo's already in place for it are strong. If some folks want to complain or laugh at the name, that's only a good thing (especially in this early stage) as it's more advertising for the coin.

2B

My previous vote was Rune , but now 2B 

I think sticking with Boolberry but putting more focus on BBR is the best option here.

Too many people have fallen in love with the current name, but too many newcomers dismiss the coin based on its name alone - ive lost count of the number of times ive seen people "lolling" at BBR because of its branding in that hell hole that is poloniex troll box. I really dont see how that can be ignored.

Modifying the brand to simply state bbr instead of boolberry next to the current logo would be straight forward to do. Id keep everything else the same including domain name etc, just take the focus off boolberry where-ever the brand is most visible, we all usually type the name as BBR anyway.

Well said, so many people jumping the gun. There saying the same thing about bitcoin now, some people have a real problem looking at things long term.

I vote to keep the Boolberry BBR name.

my vote:

I disagree in prinicipal. No one is dismissing BoolBerry because of its name. If they dismiss it because of the name, they are actually just ignorant of the tech, the skill of the developer and the direction of the development and community. We are in the infant stages of BBR, so the name can be debated and changed without repercussions.

Now, we as crypto enthusiasts live a bubble to a great extent and its easy to think the every day or event or vote or delay or development is make or break, to the moon or bust.

But it's really not.

However, this is the time to have these types of discussions and debates. So that we can reinforce our community focus starting with the brand itself.

BBR has done ZERO marketing since its inception. This is all about to change.

CZ has been the ONLY core developer since its inception. This is about to change.

BBR has done no fundraising since its inception. This is about to change.

So we are literally just staring at an infant, newly born.  

So its not the brand so much as how the brand is marketed and presented to the public. The naming is a way for the community to have their voices heard. And this is important practice, because moving forward the community is going to be asked to be a lot more vocal in determining the direction of BBR - or whichever name wins the vote.

When I first heard the name BoolBerry, I thought it was terrible. Also, when I first heard of Bitcoin I thought the exact same thing...

I never thought I would use the word 'Bitcoin' in a conversation, and now it happens on a fairly frequent basis. In regards to BoolBerry, it just sounds so damn ridiculous when you say it out loud, but it really does roll of the tongue nicely. I cant say that its the best name in the world, but I think its significantly better than the other name being considered. Additionally the ticker BBR, just clicks for me.

Worry about rebranding if / when all crypto becomes mainstream. Keep making the coin better and everything else will fall into place.

I'd go with Aureum, and not because I particularly like the name. Just because I think Boolberry is one of the most ridiculous sounding names for any crypto out there.

I also question whether polls like this even make sense really. Those who own BBR and are interested in the coin are probably the only ones voting to begin with. You are basically holding an insular vote amongst a very niche group of people, where this group already owns the coin. Those you would want to vote are those who have dismissed Boolberry, either due to the name or some or factor. Which of course would be basically impossible, and is why most devs just come up with a decent name from the beginning and go with that ... not all of this endless contest/voting stuff.
