I want to create a community for finding other people to game with. There’s lfg and gamerpals from reddit, but i’m not too sure if those names fit.
LookingForGroup implies that you need to search for multiple people, when in this case it doesn’t matter how many you are searching for.
So, what name should I call it?

Edit: Looking at the votes and what I find good, I’ve named it “gamebuddy”. Thanks for all the suggestions :)

    While I’m all for fresh ideas, one of the advantages to sticking with well known naming is that folks will often look for those things and might end up missing the community, if the name isn’t obvious and easily searchable. While “LFG” does imply that one is looking for a group, rather than maybe just a single other person, it also has a very long history in gaming and is a well known acronym. I suspect a lot of folks are going to specifically look for that acronym when starting their search. So, I’d argue with sticking with that classic.

    That said, it is your community and you should build the identity you want to build. So, don’t let some old curmudgeon like me push you away from doing something that interests you.
