How do you guys feel about the Endela name? Should it have been named something other or is Endela a solid choice?

For some reason I'm not able to keep the Endela and Endura straight. Lots of times I see Endela but I'm thinking Endura - then realize I got it all wrong ... sometimes at checkout! Maybe just a me thing but it has happened more than a time or two?

Delica XL or Endura Jr seem a better fit to my confused mind .... ymmv.

Consuming more B-12 and breaking out the nootropics!!!!

I think "Endela" is fine. Perhaps you are overthinking this a bit?

I think it should've been named the Delura, because the Delica is obviously the superior platform and should come first in the naming convention to adequately signify that.

This made me laugh. I have always favored the Endura, but I do recognize I'm in the minority there.

I can see it now, two opposing sides in Burnt Orange and Salt Yellow T shirts, holding Endura or Delica rallies.

Endela is a fine and clever name.

It had to be something...I don't find Endela confusing.

Nah. It's a weird middle child knife and that's a weird middle child name. The shoe fits lol.

I’ve been around since before the Endela was a thing. As such, it’s always been the new kid on the block from my perspective. That said, I frequently get Spiro Agnew and Nelson Rockefeller mixed up, so I get the confusion.

Maybe they should have called it Spydela . . This post is going to burn in what’s left of my brain cells all day . Regards MG2

Should have been called "the better PM2"

I think Endela's ok. Look at the bright side, they could've used Deldura

Oh you mean the Stretch 2. Easy to mix those up

I don’t dwell on the names. It seems fine to me.

Since it is the model I carry daily, I'm good with the name. For me its easy: Endela=Legal to carry, Endura= Not legal to carry.

Maybe they should have chosen a more traditional name like John or Edward

That one caught me off guard! Hat tip to you, sir!

Haha I've caught myself calling it the "Endica" on more than a few occasions..

I have no problems with the name as is, but I suppose "Endeli" would be a slightly more "accurate" portmanteau. That sounds weirder than Endela though, so what do I know..

If it’s that confusing, just practice saying “Endela” over and over again a few times. Then it’ll become easy to remember. It’s really not that hard.
