also “Snap!” is already a coding program, so the st could get in trouble if they used the same name as other coding program.

um, technically it is related to faces, since you post pictures of yourself

You can post pictures of yourself, but that era of Facebook has come and went. Now it's mostly just biased news regarding politics in order to swing elections.

Anyway, I think Scratch is a perfectly acceptable name for the site since you can make projects from scratch and you can scratch (DJ terminology) a project and make it however you want. “Poke”, “Hug”, “Rub (ew)”, and all those other strange names aren't related enough to what Scratch lets you do.

Cats scratch. THE MASCOT IS A CAT.
they probably have a mascot as a cat because after they canceled gobo, they realized that cats also scratch.

cancelling gobo as the main character of scratch, like the starter sprite, or a developed one

I don't think Gobo was ever a main character.

This is the closest thing we have to Gobo as a main character.

Its based off the technique used by dj's
(Or Scratch is meant to teach kids things their parents don't wanna)

But this site isn't related to DJs and I don't really see how “Scratch” relates to the site itself. It's also a very violent word and encourages children to scratch other human beings, so it should be called “Poke” or something similar
Or maybe it should be called “Snap!” because you're snapping blocks together

DJs “Remix” songs, most terminology on scratch comes from DJs, its kinda weird
