I am trying to name a little computer program I wrote.
I would like to name it mapit as a compound of map and it.
I was wondering if it should rather be mappit, with the ‘p’ doubled as in mapping.
I know mapping is not a compound word, but I couldn’t think of an example of a compound word where the first word ends with ‘p’.
Answer
Names don’t have to follow all the rules of grammar, but "Mappit" is clearly the better choice. "Mappit" simply looks much better, so it is easier to pronounce correctly. "Mapit" would likely often be mispronounced may-pit.
However, "Mappit" has already been used by a wall decor company.
