Did you know that Amazon could have been called "relentless"?

From the internet:

Mr. Bezos originally considered calling his company Relentless, and www.relentless.com still redirects to Amazon’s site.

Amazon sounds better. Relentless sounds like it’s implying the buyer will make relentless purchases.

You can tell that it’s an old company. Buying a web domain with a word as common as “Amazon” would cost like a million dollars now. And I don’t think he had all that much when he started out?
