Try communicating “we cover everything, deliberately” in a brand name. It’s a genuinely hard positioning problem and most attempts land on something vague. This word solves it in one go.
Hodgepodge means a jumble of unmatched things, and it sounds exactly like what it describes. People smile slightly when they say it, which is a real asset and one that most naming exercises never achieve.
It gives permission to be eclectic: a miscellany publication, a variety podcast, a secondhand marketplace, a craft collective, a newsletter that refuses a single subject.
The .org pulls the community readings forward, and they’re the strongest. Thrift operations, makerspaces, swap networks, volunteer groups and community arts organisations all benefit from a name that’s warm and unpretentious rather than corporate.
A genuine dictionary word, memorable on one hearing, with no competing commercial owner.
