goodness, mistpark kinda sucks even in english

mist park? i mean it could be the right rhythm if you stress MIST but why "mist"?

Mist is ... like fog. It obscures. it also sounds like "missed", which evokes a sense of loss.

Also the 'stp' in the middle is a phonetic stumbling block that REALLY hampers its casual pronunciation; in practice you'd end up saying "misspark" and people who hear it in conversation would not hear the 'T', go searching for it, and not find it because they have the wrong term.

why the fuck are they so consistently BAD at naming things???

Because the guy who developed Mistpark within four months in 2010 in his spare time on a budget of exactly zero didn't have millions for hired marketing experts to design a name for something that literally had never been done before.
