Post History

For those of us who were or still are a part of the Judaism StackExchange community, you'll know that they don't call themselves "Judaism Stack Exchange" – it's Mi Yodeya.

Here, we're just "Judaism Codidact." We are indeed a Codidact site about Judaism, but just calling ourselves "Judaism" is just [asking for confusion](https://judaism.codidact.com/q/276622). Is there any interest in branding?

What makes for a good name? I see three main criteria that ought to be considered:

1. It needs to be *unique and memorable*. If the community is called “Judaism,” nobody will ever find it without adding the second keyword “Codidact.”

2. It needs to be *relevant to Judaism*. Mi Yodeya is a great name because of its inspiration from the poem “Echad Mi Yodeya,” “Who Knows One,” as well as its being a quote from several places in the Bible. 

3. It needs to be *relevant to this site’s mission*. Whichever part you want to focus on, whether that be the Q&A aspect, the community aspect, or something else, the name more importantly than anything else has to reflect our goals here.

If you’ve got a name to suggest, I recommend posting each name individually as its own answer, with a brief explanation as to why you think it’s a good name. 

Of course, you might think that we’re fine as-is, with just “Judaism Codidact.” Just as I’m asking you to suggest alternative names with your thoughts as to why we should switch to that instead, if you feel our current name is good feel free to post an answer with your thoughts as to why we should keep it.

All of the above is find and all, but the most important question is for the development team: How difficult would it be behind the scenes to readjust for a new name? The most obvious hurdle would seem to be swapping out the logo, but otherwise is it as simple as search, replace, and publish, or would it be more complicated than that?
