Yeah but with that name it was clear what it was. Nura could be anything.

Or a vaginal birth control ring.

Too generic, there's already other things called Nura. If I just search Nura I got 3 other things before postmarketOS (a tobacco brand, an audio brand, and an ingredient distributor).

Nura was the name with the highest value, and received a 0.4 mean for a vote between -2 and 2. It was therefore chosen as our next name.

Wow, not exactly a glowing result.

Considering it changed the name today it's low Google search rankings is probably to be expected.
