Sadly, product and company names often get tangled up with egos and "initiatives" that are owned by people with a lot more on their plate than common sense names.

I would bet a doughnut hole that people end up calling it EX OH EX OH.

Honestly - Gene - I agree with you - too Strange of a name - people can't barely figure how to pronounce - makes NO Sense - and not something folks can easily relate to!

Evidently they were kicking around possible new names, and someone suggested "Mojo", and when they combined it with their cross-platform nature of Real Studio, became 'Xojo'. I'm glad they changed the name.

So how is it pronounced? I do not like the idea of using a product that I can not say the name of. There are all too many such. If it is pronounced "zo-jo", who is going to think of "*X*ojo"?
