I have to agree. wefwef is original and easy to search for. Voyager is going to get lost in a sea of voyagers (pun intended). Matrix/Element had the same problem every time they changed names and chose generic words.

I'd have gone for Wiff Waff, the original name of Ping Pong:

A name like "wefwef" isn't going to get most people to take your app seriously.

Marketing wise “wefwef” is a better name then the common “voyager” name. It’s better to recognize, better to remember, stands out of other common named apps. Now “voyager” want to make use of the best app ever made for Reddit “Apollo”.

It is open source, it is self-hostable - host it yourself, name it as you like. Depending on the OS/Launcher, you can also just rename the PWA. Multiple options, all almost as easy as just complaining, but they will yield better results.

I hated the WefWef name with a passion. Saying it aloud sounded like a sick puppy barking. I love the Voyager name for mass-appeal reasons.
