Lure at you

Hi all,

I'm looking for a name for my website which has the purpose of attracting people. I stumble across the word 'lure'. But I was wondering if the verb 'lure' has a negative connotation. Can any native speaker tell me this? And can you say 'lure at you'?

Many thanks!

No. It's "lure you". It's to cause you to become attracted to something. For example, fishermen affix a worm to their fishhooks to lure the fish. The fish see so

This is indeed a reason why I doubt the use of the verb 'to lure' for my website. I don't want a customer to think that I'm doing something dodgy. I like to use it in a playful way. So, if I say 'Lure you', it would rather have a negative connotation for you?
