With a massive number of mobile games available to download, first impressions are critical. Showing your mobile app name ideas<\/a> to players before launching in the App Store is smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game creator in this PickFu poll<\/a> ran a split test of two possible app names<\/a>. They targeted an audience of 50 respondents who play mobile games<\/a> on either an iPhone or Android device<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These respondents chose between Option A, Moe Moe Girls, and Option B, Zombie Girls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Which of these mobile app name ideas won? <\/h2>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Between the two choices, Option B won with a large margin. 43 respondents voted for Zombie Girls <\/em>while only seven respondents voted for Moe Moe Girls.<\/em> Let\u2019s take a closer look at the feedback and see why that is. <\/p>\n\n\n

Choose mobile app name ideas that are easily understood<\/h2>\n\n\n

The name Zombie Girls won with such a high percentage of the vote because it\u2019s easy to understand and visualize. Zombies have been such a big part of pop culture in recent years, so people can immediately imagine a game involving zombie girls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A male respondent commented that he liked the name Zombie Girls: \u201cIt sounds like a great name for a game – it would attract me right from the start just with that name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another man felt the same way. \u201cI am not really sure what Option A means, but I know what Option B means and who isn’t at least curious enough to download an app about zombie girls. It sounds like a cool game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Stay clear of mobile app name ideas that are too niche <\/h2>\n\n\n

The word moe<\/em> comes from Japanese culture, and only a couple of respondents knew that Option A was referencing it. A male who voted for Option A preferred the name but mentioned it wouldn\u2019t appeal to the general public. \u201cMoe Moe Girls has a much better chance of catching the eye of [Japanese culture] nerds, even if it means nothing to the world at large.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One woman shared that she picked Option B because she has \u201cno idea what \u2018Moe Moe\u2019 means and wouldn’t have any idea what the game was about.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of feedback shows how risky a niche name like Moe Moe Girls can be. If you intend to target a niche audience for your mobile game, then it\u2019s okay to use a name only they\u2019ll easily understand. If you\u2019re targeting the general market though, stick to a name that resonates with everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n

Split test app names with a PickFu poll <\/h2>\n\n\n

Deciding on a name for your mobile game? Run a PickFu poll<\/a> to see which name performs better and attracts more users. Polls can be set up any time, so you can split test<\/a> names before going live in the App Store. If you\u2019re currently developing a mobile game, create a poll and get feedback from a real audience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
