What is the story behind the capital "L" in myLot?

Design? Back then when i was using Macromedia Flash, the filenames usually start with a small letter then the second word capitalized like for example myLot.swf, modStar.Jpg, etc. Of course it may mean something else. So, what do you think?

I too think same , and as far as my view is concern this way of writing is known as camelwriting in which first letter would be small and second letter should be capital , thanks for sharing

That could be the answer too! Instead of alternate letters, they made it the first letter of the second word.

Well, I think its for emphasis like lot of lots, its like owning something like your own say this is my house, my pet and well maybe MyLot with a capital L. Looks pretty cool to look at too. Well, who knows ? That is just my guess as well.. That is a good observation you have, keep on posting !

just for fun... i think the person who started mylot is a male and her love of his life's name is lot so he calls her my lot and started the site with that name.... myLot. sounds stupid huh? but just like i said it was just for fun. i really dont know what is the reason or maybe it is just a style.

^_^ Mabuhay ka!.... modstar!.... Its a modern art of labeling, lettering or naming.... I think so.... Like iPod, iMac, iTouch, iPhone, iWorks, iLife and soon products of Apple are iRan shoes and iRack shelves.... whatever.... lol.... Anyway.... myLot is consisting of two words combined in to two. And it symbolize each individual of myLot. The "my" is in lowered case first because a symbol individuals for respects, humility, meek or kindness. And "Lot" for marketing and selling each individuals ideas, views, concepts, perceptions and informations, and also means a lot of interactions. ^_^ Salamat!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

correction on "myLot is consisting of two words combined in to two." must be: "myLot is consisting of two words combined into one." Thanks!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

I think so too! If there's a space, there's also a lot.

I think its basically a combination of two words – my and lot which means ‘my group’ – lot means ‘group’. ‘L’ is capitalized to differentiate between the two words.

Maybe because it's the letter in the centre & they would want the logo to look more symmetrical? Maybe they hoped it would be a reflection of the "Love" of the people towards myLot? Hmm...so many possibilities? It could just be that it looks nicer & not so plain?

You are very observant!!! I never notice that one nor even think of why it is like that. Lol Well, there might be a reason why mylot people are doing that. I am also waiting what is the idea of others in this topic. Have a nice day.

Hehe, thanks. Maybe i was just too bored that i came up with this discussion. Yeah, let's hope that the respondents can come up with the conclusion.

Hi. Great! The first time I joined myLot, that was the first thing I observed. Like my name ShanLhey. Lol. :) Shan is my bestfriend nick and Lhey just a short term for Leah. Lol. Weird but it's just for fun. Anyway, take your time guys.

Very keen, detective modstar. I too noticed that but I just didn't care. :-D Well, I guess the L is just used to indicate that my and Lot are two different words. So instead of putting a space, or "underscore" symbol, they capitalized L for that exact purpose. *shrugs, LOL

wow! what an observation, actually I'm totally clueless about this but I guess for me it's for aesthetic purposes, you see it's way too cool if myLot is written in this form than just plain mylot or Mylot...and same for the rest... ^-^

I have to agree. Even Mylot is just too plain and boring. While myLot gives this site somewhat an identity.
