Not exactly. There are nonsense words that resonate with other words. Google reminds you of "ogle", for example, and is verbable. Microsoft blatantly aped this with Bing. It can be used as a verb and even people with limited technical knowledge have heard of "ping". But I'm not arguing that Maemo has any of this going for it. It is a bit of a brow furrower as names go. (scans emoticons, finds none appropriate)
