What was the inspiration for the name?


I was discussing wanting to build a decent framework with my ex, and I said it would be a ‘cool’ thing to do. A brief bit of word association to-and-fro and me being reminded of the lyric/phrase ‘Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails’ I/we arrived at Inuit :)


Made me immediately think of QuickBooks: http://www.intuit.com/

For a brief instant I thought it could be an official release from them, but then I realized they aren't that cool of a company.
