    Aylo sounds like the name of the finance company. It is boring and generic in that it doesn’t really mean anything. The perfect name.

    Where is MindGeek always makes me think of a manufacturer of cheap crappy toys, like novelty mugs that change colour when you pour hot liquid in them and small remote control cars that stick to the ceiling. You know the kind of tat that’s always been sold off in the centre aisles of shopping malls.

      You’re thinking of ThinkGeek which was an online store that used to sell all that stuff, but they couldn’t compete with Amazon.

        That’s probably why I’m associating the name but I know they are different companies.
