Owner review 47: the naming history, rounds 6 to 25 (2026-10-27)

Status: Reference · Date: 2026-10-27 · Compiled for owner review 47 from the rulings and research of reviews 6 to 25: the owner’s words about names, the working rules, the scope, every candidate and its verdict.

Compiled 2026-10-27 from the repo docs, for the new naming round after the owner's "We definitely need a new name. Dabusi just doesn't work." (that remark is in the request only; no reason is recorded anywhere in the repo).

Citation key. All paths are under docs/design/. rN:L is owner-review-N-rulings-<date>.md line L (dates: R6 to R8 2026-10-12; R9 to R19 2026-10-13; R20 to R25 2026-10-14).

1. The owner's words about names (verbatim, in order)

1. R6, 2026-10-12: "Brand - perhaps the issue is that the name is 투모어. Can you think of several names and branding strategies for this type of app? I want to take over the amateur tennis market across the world." (rs6k:5)
2. R7, 2026-10-12: "I suppose we definitely need better names. Can you dig deep into modern names for an app like this?" (rs7:5)
3. R8, 2026-10-12: "any common phrases or sports-related terms that can be modified or retrofitted to fit the modern app names" (rs8:5)
4. R9, 2026-10-13: "Can't we find something catchy? Twomore and 멋쟁이 are some of the slangs in Korea used in tennis communities. What other catchy slangs are used around the world that would resonate and short enough to be effective when spoken?" (rs9:5). The web could not confirm either term; only the owner's word backs them (rs9:16, r9:25).
5. R10, 2026-10-13: "Or how about something more along the line that we cater to make organizing and running tennis clubs better? Practically speaking, how much can we expand into other sports? How much generalizability should we consider as we name our product?" (rs10c:5)
6. R11, 2026-10-13: "What are trends in app names in this field these days? I do like short names like band or strava that don't really have any connotation." (rs11s:5)
7. R12, 2026-10-13: "Can you find plain two-syllable words in Korean that can also be comfortably pronounced for non-Korean speakers and are good candidates for the app? For example, I'v opted to use Maru health for a healthcare technology app." (rs12w:5). The lead records "the name comes first. Domain searches and the other checks come after the pick" as the owner's order of work (r12:5).
8. R13, 2026-10-13: "Oreum is also fine, I think. Can you research the 4 words to see if we can actually use them?" (research/owner-review-13-clearance-trademarks-2026-10-13.md:5)
9. R14, 2026-10-13: "Let's look for other words. And make sure they are usable ones" (rs14t:5)
10. R15, 2026-10-13: "호밀 is alright, but let's look at othet names as well. I don't want to sound like a derivative of 당근" ([sic], research/owner-review-15-words-meaning-2026-10-13.md:5)
11. R16, 2026-10-13: "Any Korean adjective that might be related to good health, good fortune, or a nudge in the positive direction, social gathering, good feelings or just any other positivity in general?" (r16:3)
12. R17, 2026-10-13: "How about 모꼬지? 안다미로?"; "We can run mokoji for English and 모꼬지 for Korean"; "Or 난장, 두레, 품앗이, 또래" (r17:3)
13. R18, 2026-10-13: "I do like dadok, but I am scared it reads too much like dad ok"; "Any possible mis spelling or similar word play or phonetic play that wouldn't be mistaken?"; "If we do tadok, it would be 타독. Look into the possibility of using that one as well" (r18:4-7)
14. R19, 2026-10-13: "Any Korean words that may sound like latin prefixes with meaning in any relation to group sports gathering or physical activity?"; "How abour Turma then? Is Turma or 투마 taken?" (r19:4-5)
15. R20, 2026-10-14: "Let's expand our search to three-syllable names" (r20:3)
16. R21, 2026-10-14: "Let's do Dabusi!!!"; earlier: "Once we have decided on the name, we will then search for domains and run checks." (r21:3)
17. R22, 2026-10-14: "Alright, let's keep going 다붓이 it is. We don't have to keep 두개 더 as a secondary line. All our brand-related direction now goes from 다붓이. And the new logo proposals as well. Try to incorporate some elements of tennis if you can." (r22:3)
18. R23, 2026-10-14: "How about all capital for the letters? And let's go with the first one, fitted close." (r23:3)
19. R24, 2026-10-14: "I approve the changes in the scoring sheet, and I like the new match grammar. Yes, the mark is great. And how about 다붓 instead of 다붓이?" (r24:3); "How about 바투? Seems like we can maybe use it?" (r24:26)
20. R25, 2026-10-14: "Can also look into 마주, 두루, 어울 and their variants?" (r25:3)
21. Rename in code, 2026-10-14: "Great, get going." (DL:710)

Paraphrased, not verbatim: the owner's note that 투마 means "두 개 더", two more balls (r5:36); that 투모어 is real club slang (r9:21); the filing deferral "KIPO (EXT-17) waits until the product work is done" (DL:741).

What the quotes add up to (my reading, not recorded as such). Short and low-connotation (Band, Strava, Maru); not food or cute objects (당근); positive, gathering and encouragement feelings; the owner's own proposals were mostly old native community words (모꼬지, 안다미로, 난장, 두레, 품앗이, 또래, 마주, 두루, 어울, 바투), not coined or foreign ones. Within 24 hours of choosing the three-syllable, rare Dabusi the owner asked for the clipped 다붓 and for two-syllable "close/together" words (바투, 마주, 두루, 어울): a sign of appetite for something shorter and commoner.

2. The lead's working rules the rounds applied

• Shape or vowel rule (r12:10-11, rs12w:184-194, rs12a:80-90): consonant-vowel shapes (CV-CV, CV-CVC); only the vowels a, i, u, o, e; cut eo (ㅓ), eu (ㅡ), ae (ㅐ), ui (ㅢ), oe/wa/wi and y-vowels, and the tense consonants ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ; final ㅇ allowed but scored down; no near-twin of Maru (Naru, Duru, Mara). Effect: most native gathering and encouragement words are lost (r16:15, r20:15; 어울림 fails on eo, rs20s1:133). Lost to the rule: 오름 (ㅡ), 어울림. One flagged exception in R20 (Mujigae, ae), then cut.
• Not adopted: "avoid r and l mid-word" (r12:53).
• Length (r11:31-43): 4 to 6 letters; 1 or 2 spoken syllables; 2 Hangul syllables, 3 at most; no opening consonant cluster (Strava is four Hangul syllables); a foreign or coined word over a dictionary word (search, trademark); no surface meaning, never the sport or the job. The earlier rubric (rs7:83-95) was 9 criteria scored 0 to 2 (five-language pronounceability, no bad meaning, 1 to 3 syllables, store distinctness, ownable, extends to padel and pickleball, story, verb use "이번 주 ___ 할래?", domain). The owner lifted the Hangul limit to three syllables in R20.
• Content rules: no food and no cute-object nouns (R15, r15:16-17); words with lift (motion, light, water, landscape, sound, resolve); weather words that cancel tennis, and words describing a feature (다달이 = "monthly", the dues), are weak (r20:31-36); nothing that describes the service; avoid a sport word in the name (it makes the mark descriptive, r10:11).
• Latin spelling: Revised Romanization is the default; a respelling only if it clearly helps (Toss), and the Hangul and Latin must not diverge (rs12w:191, rs12a:86-87). Dabusi stays Dabusi; Dabushi pulls readers to "bush"/ushi (r21:12). Handles and domains are lowercase, so capitals do not rescue a name (Dadok reads "dad ok", r18:13). Official Eoul reads as a typo of Seoul (r25:23). The owner fixed "Mokoji" for English and 모꼬지 for Korean (research/owner-review-17-mokkoji-andamiro-2026-10-13.md:7).
• Korea compares marks by sound (칭호) and by the dominant part, so respellings do not escape a blocked Hangul word (r13:24, r14:63, r25:23). Korea is first-to-file.
• Gate from R14 on: a name is shown only if it passes trademarks, domains and handles, and meaning (r14:15-19). Verdict words: Clear / Usable with conditions / Risky / Blocked (rs20t:28). Order of work earlier (R12): name first, checks after the pick (r12:5).
• Trademark classes: 9, 41, 42 up to R11 (rs6k:143, r10:69, r11:90); 9, 35, 41, 42 from R13 (r13:15; plus 28 for 안다미로, r17:5-9); 9, 35, 36, 38, 41, 42, 45 for the Dabusi filing, cut order 45, 36, 38 (r21:37).
• KIPRIS (Korea): GET https://www.kipris.or.kr/khome/search/searchResult.do?tab=trademark with a cookie jar, then POST https://www.kipris.or.kr/kdtj/grrt1000a.do?method=searchTM with queryText=<hangul>&expression=<hangul>&sortField=RANK&sortState=Desc&currentPage=<n>&numPerPage=30, 5 to 8 s between calls; spelling-only, no phonetic engine. R19/R20 read at most 90 rows; R21 read every page. Live = 출원/등록/공고; dead = 소멸/거절/포기 (rs20t:12,19-20, rs21t:54). Empty results (code 98) were repeated twice (rs20t:21).
• TMview: POST https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/api/search/results with a browser User-Agent, Origin: https://www.tmdn.org, Referer: https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/, body {"page":"1","pageSize":"100","criteria":"C","basicSearch":"<latin>","fNiceClass":["9","35","41","42"],"fTMStatus":["Registered","Filed"]}; refused in R13/R14 (EU unchecked), worked from R15 (rs20t:11, r14:62, r15:18). USPTO: POST https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/prod-stage-v1-0-0/tmsearch with {"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"wordmark":{"query":"<latin>"}}}],"filter":[{"term":{"alive":true}}]}},"size":100}; substring match, not sound-alike (rs20t:13). WIPO Global Brand Database and Madrid Monitor: unreachable (captcha, proof of work); JPO not tried.
• Domains (RDAP): https://rdap.org/domain/<name>.com (Verisign; 404 free, 200 taken), .app via the same URL (Google registry), .kr/.co.kr via https://rdap.kisa.or.kr/domain/<name>.kr; .io/.co/.so/.gg/.me need whois on port 43 (whois.nic.io, whois.registry.co, ...) because rdap.org returns 404 for them whatever the name (correction in R25, DL:714; the R18 dahdok.co claim is unverified). Prices: Porkbun API. A registry "free" is a snapshot (rs20d:88-96, rs21w:121-136).
• Handles: x.com/<h> (200/404), youtube.com/@<h>, TikTok oembed (400 = free; rate-limits hard), blog.naver.com/<h>, cafe.naver.com/<h>, GitHub. Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Kakao, Band cannot be read by script. Weak evidence only (rs20d:98-104). Pattern: the bare handle is taken everywhere, <name>app is free.
• Stores: iTunes Search API (itunes.apple.com/search?term=...&country=us|kr|jp&entity=software&limit=50); exact = first segment of the title; Google Play search is unreliable to scripts (r13:38, rs21w:131).
• Meaning: 표준국어대사전, 우리말샘, Wiktionary parse API, Urban Dictionary API, 나무위키, Naver, JP App Store; native-speaker checks were always "owed" and never run (Italian tumore for TwoMore, r9:21; Japanese, Spanish; Chinese 打不死 and Arabic for Dabusi, rs21m:134). The searches are knock-out checks, not legal opinions; no 변리사 has been engaged for any name.

3. Scope decisions that constrain the name

• Ambition and audience. The owner: take over the amateur tennis market worldwide (rs6k:5). Audience: Korean club members aged 30 to 60 first, then the same people abroad (rs6k:3); members are "mostly 40 to 60" (r12:27). Korea-first product, global ambition.
• 총무-first. Strategy "the amateur's club OS": win the organiser, the club follows; Playtomic owns courts, UTR the number, nobody the club's weekly life (r6:20). The name belongs to the players; the store descriptor and first-run copy speak to the 총무 (r10:28). Real rival in Korea: Naver Band, 17.38M monthly users (r10:30-33); the name must be as easy to say as 밴드.
• Sport scope (r10:9-11,28): racket and court sports with tennis as the wedge. No sport word in the name; one masterbrand, no sub-brands; the store descriptor names the sport per market (Name: 테니스 클럽 운영 now, 테니스·피클볼 클럽 운영 later). Expansion order by reuse: soft tennis, pickleball and padel, badminton, table tennis, squash. No clubs.sport column. The owner's answer to "tennis clubs now or racket sports from day one" (r10:66) is not recorded; Dabusi shipped with "함께 치는 테니스" (r22:9).
• One Latin name plus a Hangul reading (r7:25); Dabusi is displayed as 다붓이 on Korean phones, Dabusi elsewhere (r22:8).
• Meaning of TwoMore / 투마: the owner's reading is 두 개 더 (two more balls); the web share card and CLAUDE.md said 두 명 더 (two more players) and that conflict was never closed (r5:36,42, r10:17,65). 두 개 더 was retired even as a secondary line (r22:7).
• Maru Health: the owner's separate healthcare brand; avoid near-twins and decide whether the two read as one family (r12:19, r13:34).
• Peers to stay clear of: Playtomic, UTR, MATCHi, SwingVision, Smaxh (스매시), 땡큐볼 테니스, 한판 (a live club-ops app), Tweener, Rallie, Deuce, Spond, TeamSnap, Heja, Band (rs6k:24-36, r19:39).
• Switching cost today. Nothing legal or domain-side was bought: KIPO filing deferred (EXT-17, docs/external-blockers.md:41), dabusi.app, handles, App Store name, Kakao Channel not registered (EXT-18, docs/external-blockers.md:42, last reviewed 2026-10-16; "nothing was bought or registered", r21:45). In code the user-facing rename already landed 2026-10-14: display name with Expo locales (다붓이 on Korean devices), i18n, icon set, in-app Logo, OG lockup, web metadata, design-system docs. Kept: legal text "투모(TwoMore)", twomore.app/emails/twomore://, bundle IDs and internal identifiers (DL:710). The owner-approved mark, Fitted close, is justified by 다붓이 (two felt pieces fitted close; r23:7-10, r24:9) and the wordmark is DABUSI in capitals; a new name would reopen both.

4. Every candidate, by round

Verdicts: CHOSEN, FINALIST (ranked or recommended to the owner), PASS (cleared or shown on the board, not top-ranked), BENCH (set aside without a hard block), CUT (reason given), UNSCREENED. Rows whose first column holds several names (comma-separated) are groups. Sources by round are in the heading line.

Round 0: incumbent

Latin	Hangul	Verdict	Why

Latin	Hangul	Verdict	Why

Round 21 to 25, 2026-10-14

Latin	Hangul	Verdict	Why
Dabusi (DABUSI wordmark)	다붓이 [다부시]	CHOSEN	Owner: "Let's do Dabusi!!!" Official sense: 매우 가깝게 붙어 있다 (close together); 다붓하다 also 조용하고 호젓하다; clear in all 7 classes; see section 6 for risks

5. Finalists the owner seemed warmest about (other than Dabusi), with open risks

1. Tadok / 타독. The owner's own idea ("If we do tadok, it would be 타독", r18:7). The lead's first pick in R18/R19 and co-lead in R20 (r18:65, r19:53, r20:51-54). Open: (a) TADOKE (Dongguan Lemon Tree Technology) is registered in class 9 in the US, EU, China and Japan; its goods list was never read (r18:48-50,57); (b) sound-alike (칭호) against the crowded registered 다독-led marks and 토닥 (nine apps) was not tested, and KIPO compares by sound, so I would treat "clear in Korea" as identity-only (inference; no such test is recorded); (c) tadok.com is a GoDaddy parking page, price unread; @tadok taken on YouTube and TikTok, @tadokapp free; X, Instagram, Threads, Google Play, Japanese and Spanish readings unchecked (r18:51-61). Free: tadok.app, .kr, .co.kr, gettadok.com, tadokapp.com.
2. Dadok / 다독. "I do like dadok" (r18:5). Dead: "dad ok" reading, and any Hangul 다독 is risky in Korea (r18:25-39).
3. Obusi / 오붓이. Lead called it the warmer, better-known word (r20:56). Open: identical Latin Obusi pending in class 35 (rs20t:40), Obut (boules) echo, Spanish/French obús (shell). Its fame is also why Dabusi reads as a misspelling of it.
4. Ttorae / 또래. The one of the owner's six the lead took forward (r17:27). Open: 변리사 sound check against 또래오래, tense ㄸ and "ae" make the Latin hard (r17:16,29-30).
5. Homil / 호밀 ("alright"): clear in KR/US, EU unchecked, "homily", rye is food (r15:63). Oreum / 오름 ("fine, I think"): blocked in Korea unless the earlier filings are bought or lapse (r13:20). Madang / 마당 (one of the owner's four): needs a 변리사 opinion on distinctiveness, madang.com parked, reads as Maru Health's sibling (r13:26-34).
6. Mokoji / 모꼬지: the owner fixed its English spelling; blocked in Korea (r17:19), open in US/EU.
7. Bangsil / 방실 (clear everywhere, bangsil.com unregistered, r16:67) and Ultari / 울타리 (three syllables, 울트라 sound check owed, r19:54): lead's picks, no owner reaction recorded.
8. Enda, Mazi, Mera (R11): the owner moved to Korean words next, so these were never trademark-checked.

6. What is recorded about why Dabusi might not work

• Rare word. Google News since 2024: 다붓이 about 1 hit vs 오붓이 8; 다붓한 2 vs 오붓한 82. "Known to a dictionary, rare in print"; only a minority have met it as a beautiful word (2020 Hangul Day) (rs21m:36-47). The lead's own watch-for: "many Koreans know its cousin 오붓이 better" (r20:42). Rated "High" likely: most 40 to 60 readers will map it to 오붓이, as a cousin or a typo (rs21m:53); copy must not put 오붓 next to it (rs21m:104); the gloss is needed in onboarding (rs21m:103).
• 다붓 messenger and the stem. App "다붓 (Dabut) - 번호 없이 연락하는 메신저" on both stores (seller KIL SANG JUNG); 주식회사 다붓컴퍼니 holds "Run Off" marks in 9/35/36/38/42 and has not filed 다붓; Korea is first-to-file and 다붓 vs 다붓이 would likely be judged similar in sound; a pending 다붓 for pet leashes (class 18, KR4020260177279). People will say "다붓" anyway (r21:27-28, r24:15-22). Our chat feature makes the messenger same-category.
• Sound-alikes and echoes. 다부진 (registered 29/35/36/43); English "abuse" (visual only), "dab", DAB-yoo-see vs da-BOO-see; DABUS AI-inventor noise in IP searches; Arabic dabbūs (pin, mace, figurative vulgar); Malay debus; Japanese ダブ/だぶだぶ ("baggy"); Latvian dabūsi ("you will get"); Chinese 打不死 (positive, but the sǐ syllable); AU DABUS filed in class 42 (rs21m:62-82, rs21t:219-230, r21:20).
• The Chinese .com. dabusi.com is a live Chinese anti-DDoS server vendor branded 打不死 (created 2010, expiry 2035, DNSPod/Alibaba CDN, no sale wording, a UDRP route is weak); dabusi.net also taken; CN marks DABUSHI/DABUSHAN in 25/18/35 (rs21w:55-64, rs21t:14). Also bare @dabusi taken on YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Naver Cafe (r21:22).
• Shape. Three Hangul syllables and six letters sit outside the R11 screen the owner stated they liked (Band, Strava); the owner opened three syllables themselves in R20. The meaning ("snug, close together, quiet") is an adverb, not tennis, and the 두 개 더 story it replaced was retired (r22:7).
• Native checks never run: Chinese (打不死/sǐ) and Arabic (rs21m:126,134); no reader panel (rs21m:15). The Review 20 gloss ("closely, side by side") was wrong and corrected in R21 (r21:12).
• Not recorded anywhere: the owner's reason for "Dabusi just doesn't work"; any user or club-member reaction to the name; any test of how foreigners say it.

7. Structural facts for the next round

• The warm, common "together" words (마주, 두루, 어울림, 바투) were all registered long ago; Dabusi cleared because it is rarer (r25:25-27). Expect the same trade-off: a common native word is blocked in KIPRIS, a clear one is rare or coined.
• Short two-syllable Korean nouns and adjectives were largely worked through in R12 to R16 (about 1,270 words generated, about 80 survivors cleared, by my tally roughly 20 came out clear or usable with conditions, and the best of them, Dadok, was later downgraded). Latin-first coined or foreign names (Rallia, Tenacia, Naishot, Enda, Mazi, Mera) were screened for stores and .com only (R7 to R11); no KIPRIS or USPTO search was run on them, and no owner authorisation for those searches is recorded (the lane docs list it as "owed").
• Nothing is purchased, filed or registered under Dabusi, so abandoning it costs code, assets and the mark, not legal fees.

Counts (section 4)

165 table rows holding 695 name entries (about 640 distinct spellings, case-insensitive; names that recur across rounds, such as TwoMore, Hanpan, Naishot, Rallia, Dadok, Dabusi, are counted once per round). 104 rows are single names with their own verdict; 61 rows are groups whose first column lists the names. By status: 531 entries carry a verdict and reason (single rows or grouped cuts sharing one reason), 76 are stage-1 cuts of R14 named in one row with a pointer to the reasons, and 88 were never screened. The raw round lists remain in the cited research files (R7 202, R8 80, R9 36, R10 66, R11 112, R12 145, R14 293, R15 464, R16 365, R20 746 typed strings, R19 105 roots).
