Name for a Web application

I am working on developing a cloud computing website and I just wanted to know if the name I plan to give for it can sound negative in some way or something like that. My native language is not english. First I wanted to use the name "Mug" but then I found that it can mean a type of cup to drink or even have something to do with "rob with violence" so I gave up on that name.

The name I want to use now is "Marmug". So my question is if Marmug can denote something negative.

Thank you!

'Marmug' has no English meaning, but it is does not sound attractive. Both 'mar' (=injure, damage) and 'mug' (= rob with violence) are certainly negative, and 'marmug' sounds like some kind of mythological beast that commits both crimes.

Thank you... I'm already thinking about another name

What about "Mugnawork" or "Mugnaworks". does it sound like something? Does it sound like "work of a mugger" or "rob a work" or something like that? Or can it be acceptable? Keep in mind it doesn't have to be attractive. I want it to just not sound as something clearly negative.

Sorry-- it just sounds ugly in English. Start afresh with completely different sounds.
