Asking this on all of our platforms because… we’re lost.
Is it cringe that our System’s name is the Symphony System?
We’re a musician, and a definite band geek. Does that make it cringy?
Honest opinions pls /npa

hhh kinda late but.. n0!! Its really c00l that y0ure d0ing it fr0m y0ur interests!! Thats amazing!! Y0u sh0uld be pr0ud 0f y0urselves!!
I don't know what kind of system you're referring to, so I can't answer very well, but if it's not particularly a music system, I wouldn't say it's cringe exactly, but I'll be brutally honest instead of unconditionally positive: it's kind of small-pond mentality (for lack of a better term) to name it after an unrelated interest.
I know there's one person on here who thinks of themselves as a "system" (I guess it's some kind of psychiatric condition?). If that's you and that's what you're referring to, I guess it's more okay because it's more of a personal thing rather than a product, and because your hobbies and interests are not exactly separate from you and hence are not separate from the "system."
Or if your system is your computer or something, that's also pretty personal...I myself have named one of my computers 'RIGORMORTIS' for no particular reason. =P
no why would it be cringe,,,,,
Honestly never occurred to me. I didn't know you were (a) musician(s), but even still, that wouldn't make it cringe.
In any case, whether other people find your name cringeworthy is largely insignificant. You can change your name if you want, but any ill will someone might bear toward you because you named your system after one of your hobbies is irrational.
It's perfectly fine in my opinion!
It is only cringey if you allow it to be. That is to say, if it makes you happy and you believe it suits you, then defining your System's name as something “cringe” is only putting yourself down for no reason.
