The Origin of The Name "moomoo"

$Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$
We know that the name of our app "moomoo" has aroused some discussions on social media. Our staff are also curious about the origin of the name "moomoo." By chance, a casual talk with Futu CEO, Leaf, at leisure unravels the mystery.

"One night three years ago, when we were at loggerheads over the name for this international stock trading app, the wife of Keith who was in charge of the US branch of FUTU happened to pass by and heard our quarrel.

'How about calling it moomoo?' She threw out an off-the-cuff remark, 'it's in a nursery rhyme.'

What a wake-up call, snapping me out of a dazed state! Moo, as the sound of bull, the metaphor of which is direct, vivid, catchy, and lovely. Although it's made of six letters, only the two letters, 'm' and 'o,' are contained and also repeated regularly. Even hard to misspell it!

I was so satisfied with this name that I asked our US colleague Nikki right away. Nikki agreed this was a brilliant idea as well. Then we made this pleasant decision -- the name 'moomoo' was nailed down.

Fortunately, soon afterwards, we bought the domain name 'moomoo.com' from an engineer in San Diego successfully. This is the story of how the name 'moomoo' comes from.

Old McDonald had a farm, ee-i, ee-i, oh! And on that farm he had a cow, ee-i, ee-i, oh! With a moo moo here, and a moo moo there. Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo.

Let's moomoo! "

-- Leaf, FUTU CEO
