GearKnob is the name of a website founded in January 2022, and hosts this Wiki.
Name
The name "GearKnob" is a compromise. It sounds odd because it was originally intended to be GearKnobs, however, a firm representing Andy Wilman has owned[1] that particular name as a trademark since June 2015, and a game of legal Russian Roulette does not sound particularly appealing. Otherwise, the two-worded "Gear Knob" is in the English dictionary, and so should be safe from any legal challenges.
