Hi Chris, I was reading your article and got a case of de ja vu. As I had just read alot of the same lines 2 days ago. Lucky I kept the link, so I checked, and Yes, your words are input here, to look like a comment from a brand manager giving his advice on a question in a chatroom in linked in. It’s been shortened, but it’s all there, including the assurance he just “…totally made up JetBlasters just now!” You might want to check it out – http://www.linkedin.com/answers/startups-small-businesses/incorporation/STR_INC/611602-62608793 Unbelivable someone should do that!!

Hello Mr. Levkulich,
I have found your blog very helpful and appreciate your format. I have been thinking of creative and catchy names for years now. I have worked for, the past 10 years, in the retail industry and now want to create my own fashion accessory line. I would like to start the brand with affordable women’s and men’s bags. The brand would grow into a full men’s and women’s clothing line. As I mentioned before I have come up with many names in the past, but, now that I am creating a line from scratch I am drawing a blank. My name is Orazio Michael Marinelli. I would love to be able to use my name however it has always been hard for people to pronounce and its long. Do you have any ideas on how I could incorporate my name into a brand name? Or do you think I should leave my name out of it all together? Since the brand is for men and women I need to think of a name that is not to feminine or masculine. Here are some key words that would express the image of the products… affordable, made well, hip, great fits, and a one of kind. Thank you in advance for you advice and I look forward to more entries from you. Take care, Orazio Marinelli

Hi Chris,

I’ve found your article useful. I’m trying to come up with a name for a massage therapy business and a blog that promotes integrated health and acts as an index of massage therapy practice in healthcare in the UK. I’m finding it really tough so any suggestions would be great. Meanwhile I’m going to use your tips to see if I can get any further with it.

Thanks

Kimberley

Dennis,

I have a few suggestions:

1. Instrumental Instruments–it shows that your product will be instrumental in the development of the beginning students

2. Pikolo– just a different spelling on the word/instrument piccolo.

3. Muziek–the Dutch word for “music”. It looks pretty cool, actually, and that’s the only reason I picked it.

See if some of those work for you, or bust out a thesaurus and look up some different words and see what you can find.
