Beware the awkward silent letters.
Fauxto
How do you pronounce Fauxto?
fox-two? foe-two? Oh, it's just pronounced "photo".
While I'm pretty sure that the pronunciation of faux is well known (as in faux pas), it's that "to" sticking out at the end that will throw people off.

Curb your en-Thoof-iasm
Thoof! Just hit my head on the table thinking about this name...
Yeah, I know almost everybody's talked about how bad this name is, but it just has to be mentioned here. Weird names like Yahoo and Google could work, but Thoof is just a nonsense syllable. The name can't be verbed well; if the site does become popular (it looks like a site in the style of digg/del.icio.us), you won't hear people saying "Thoof this!" or "If you like our story, please Thoof us!"

Suffering a Learnia?

The -a or -ia suffix is normally an attractive one, but someone must have overlooked the negative connotations here!

Let's cram as many things as possible into one word!
I don't think this slogan is in use any longer, but it just has to be mentioned once again:
Betsimpsier?
Translation: It is supposed to be a mashup of "Better, Simpler, Easier"
How's that for "completely forgettable"?
