That's what happened when it came time to name wordsnSync Ltd (www.wordsnSync.com) -- the designer suggested lowercase w and uppercase S. I don't see this as being any worse than creating a name in all caps (IBM), or one that is from a nonexistent word at the time of creation (Xerox), or one that has no easily ascertainable meaning (Symantec, ASUS) or one that was once a name and now is just a group of letters (IBM). Then again, I haven't noted your complaining about e.e. cummings :), so I must assume this is the anticorporate lawyer in you that is bubbling forth. Oh frabjous day -- it's snark time again :).
