I went to the Plopp site and showed the german demo to my daughters ( twins
of 14 and one at 17 going on 45).  Although the software was designed for 6
year old kids and above,I think, (Ich spreche nicht Deutsches, but love
Munchen in Oktober!) they all said that it was 'cool', which I assure you is
a compliment.  I then asked them what they thought of the name Plopp for the
software. This raised a smile and then a resounding 'cool'.  They thought
that young kids would find it funny.

I know this is not a proper survey, but maybe one should look to the target
market for the product which is after all, kids - we just provide the wallet
;>)

Anyway, my suggestion Plipp Plopp

Planned yes. You can order plopp on the German amazon.de site, don't 
know if they ship to the US though.

BTW, does anyone have a suggestion for a different name for the English 
version? Seems the connotations of plopp aren't making it a suitable 
name in English ;-)
