oxalienxo Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hey, I was wondering what your opinions are on Totally Wicked..You see, its a play on words, wicked, yet it also means awesome.Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowbox Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I kinda like it and "get" it ('wicked' meaning 'awesome), but I'm young. I'd imagine quite a few people over 30 (maybe even younger) wouldn't immediately remember 80s/90s youth slang and might be put off by it. Of course, you could be in that age category and still like it, but I think you have to get out of yourself and think how most people might perceive it. Would their interested be piqued enough to go to your site/store or would Totally Wicked sound so bad they wouldn't even continue to read your print ad/etc? All of this is really dependent on what kinds of things you're selling and what your target market it, but still good things to think about.

I'm in Texas and in my 30's and only know it because my good friend from New England says it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 It also has another meaning (to us candle makers, at least) when pronounced differently. So overall I like how the word has multiple meanings. As for it already being in use, maybe you could pick some other variation of it.

TexasBrat Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Are you all saying "wicked" or wick ed" with two sylables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Are you all saying "wicked" or wick ed" with two sylables.I think that's the idea here -- it can be either/or! I'm 43 in Tx & remember saying 'wick-ed' quite a bit, but then I had a total Valley Girl thang going fer-shur in the 80's! LOL I think most people would see it to read wicked (like a candle wick) & miss the double entendre. If it rocks your boat & the name is available, go for it.Susan.
