What Would You Call The Google Bank?

The Search Engine Herald asks what would be a good name for Google’s rumored payment service. Obviously, GooPal and GPal ain’t happening (lawsuits!), and Google Wallet has been the rumored actual name. Considering most Google product names are very literal or plain on purpose (GMail, Web Accelerator, Google Scholar), don’t be surprised if Google is considering Google Bank, Google Checkbook, Google Card, Google Money, Google Savings, or something like that. Feel free to list your own. Best one gets a John Stevens sticker and rubber wristband.

Oh god, I did it, didn’t I?

My teenage cousin has requested that I help promote John Stevens’ CD, “Red” (original title) by giving out some free stickers and rubber wristbands that announce the upcoming June 28 release. So if anyone wants one, it’ll cost you 50 cents via PayPal for shipping and handling (i.e. stamp and envelope). If anyone actually wants this stuff, let me know.

  7. Steven: If you send me one GUnit, I’ll give you a hundred dollar bill (for the most excellent scoop). Actually, it might be illegal to pay a source, so you’ll just get extra John Stevens stuff.

    Michael: I”m emailing you the info.

  10. GBank

    Comment by Tadeh Davtian | June 25, 2005

  11. G means growing!
    So G-Bank or GBank means Growing Bank!
    Compair with these;
    Y! messenger
    YIM
    AIM
    GMail
    So Google bank would be better to be named GBank

  14. anything G as in G-wallet will be confusing to some
    too slangy
    well known but not as respectable
    they should keep wallet but change front name somehow and go for original and exotic as possible !
