I grew up in Norway and there's this idea in Europe of someone who breaks from corporate culture and hikes and camps a lot (called wandervogel in german). I also liked how when pronounced in Norwegian or Swedish it sounds like wander full. I like the idea of someone who is full of wander.




In Swedish the G wouldn't be silent so it wouldn't really be all that much like "wonderful"; "vanderfugel" is the closest thing I could come up with for how I'd pronounce it with some leniency.

Same in Danish FWIW.

In English, I’d pronounce it very similar to “wonderful”.


Are you a native speaker? Because said quickly in typical English it sounds like "wonderfukl" which isn't great.

Not a native English speaker, no.

If OP dropped the g, it would be a MUCh better product name.

Solid advice. Seeing how many here would pronounce it differently, I totally agree hahah

this would make it even closer to the dangerously similar travel planning app "wanderlog"

I actually own wanderfull.ai

Drop an l would be better I think
