G-Buy. There has got to be a better name

Posted: Monday, June 19, 2006 | |

G-Buy is supposed to be the Paypal killer from Google. Unfortunately, the name won't go down very well with the Chinese especially those who speak Fookien or Hookien.

You see, G-Buy sounds like "cheebye" which means "vagina" in Chinese Fookien.

"I heard you had a hard time selling your items. Next time use G-Buy."
"You can use G-buy to earn money."
"Are you interested in G-Buy?"
"Visit and explore my G-Buy. My item's are real nice."

I hope they change the name into Google Buy or something. Then again maybe people won't mind getting things from G-Buy.
