I would understand that it just means a connoisseur of something, but you could always change the spelling to "file" to make it more digital-y and even less associated with problematic obsessions.
This is actually interesting! I wanted to use "files" to start with, like "Flower-Files" but the domain was taken. So i thought flowerphiles could be a fun twist. The true word would be Anthophile though, (or Botanophile for plants) and people would not necessarilly know this (this is btw an example and not the actual wordplay that I am working on atm)
Could also just double-domain it, anthophile.com && ILikeFlowers.com or something like that. Is there a “flowers” TLD? ILike.flowers
So I only use the anthophile as an examble. It's not that, but I'd rather not share the actual word as I'm sure some jerk will go out and buy both before I decide LOL
It's a good point though! I might consider doing both, although only one can host the actual software and using both would be ineffective brand wise. I think that I have kind of settled on using the English prefix and phile suffix
