Maybe contrarian take but I've always been a firm believer that naming doesn't matter. If there are PMF and growth, any name is fine

Some names seem to mean something, like idk Red Bull, but it's all rationalised entirely retrospectively. Also important to remember that for the majority of people in the world who don't speak English as a first language, word association isn't as immediate, it's just random sounds

Maybe they know, consciously, that Facebook means "face" and "book" but I'm willing to bet their mental image does not include a college facebook nor do they know what it is 

In this context, a unique name like Farcaster is a plus as it's easy to remember; if you want to go deeper, farcaster portals in the Hyperion novels are as good a metaphor as I've ever seen one (although I didn't love the books lolol)

Having said all that, two names are too much, warpcast always felt like a stopgap to me

Long live farcaster
