Citing https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LGPLStaticVsDynamic: "If you statically link against an LGPLed library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application." On the technical side I heard someone successfully used static linking with GTK+ but I personally never see such an application. I do not use windows though.

There already are plenty of applications with GTK in their names, see e.g.: https://www.linux-apps.com/search/projectSearchText/gtk All that said, IANAL. Anyway I really doubt you will find a name not already picked up by some project and IMO this is just bikeshedding.

Ciao, if you use shared linking (AFAIK the only way officially supported) you wont have any problem. Of course you must still comply with the other terms, e.g. you cannot sneakily modify the GTK+ source code: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/COPYING > Additionally my program will make calls to routines in GTK objects, > ...

Using GTK in proprietary software
Dear GTK developers, I want to redistrbute GTK (and its LGPL) unabridged with proprietary software, to make a graphical application. Additionally my program will make calls to routines in GTK objects, will this comply with the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License?
