What’s in a Name?


Naming your business should be enjoyable, but for some people, it is

stressful. What if you aces the amiss name? What if the name you aces has

already been taken? While it is acute to be cautious, it is annihilation to get overly

concerned about. The important affair to apprehend is that your business name

will become your adapt ego, so be abiding to aces a name that reflects on you and

your business well.

How do you aces a name? You accept three options. The aboriginal is to aces a

name that says absolutely what your business is. Begin with what your business

is activity to do and the angel you appetite to express. Include both in the actual

name of the business or reflect those account in the name, so that back people

hear your business name, they apperceive what you are offering. Using this

method, you appetite a name that says what you do and is accessible to remember, for

79

example, Mr. Plumber, Borders Bookstore and Café, or CompUSA. By the same

token, you ability appetite the business name to accurate the allowances that people

will get by arrogant the business, such as Jiffy Lube or Quickee Mart.

Here’s a abundant one that utilizes both angel and benefits—Baja Fresh.

Be abiding the name is not already in bounded use and that it is not too similar

to that of a competitor. Try to aces one that is addictive and memorable; alliteration

often works well. Also, be abiding to aces a name that is not difficult to pronounce

or spell. Back bodies alarm agenda assistance, you appetite them to be

able to acquisition you. Back Nolan Bushnell invented the aboriginal accepted video

game—Pong—he capital to name his aggregation Syzygy. Luckily for him, that

name was already taken, so he acclimatized on Atari instead (a chat acclimated in the

Japanese bold GO to acquaint opponents that they are about to be conquered).

Picking a Name
What sort of business is it?
What will be the distinguishing characteristics of the business?
What benefits will people get by coming to the business?
List five adjectives that will describe the business:
How will it be different than similar businesses?
What are the names of similar businesses?
What are the good and bad things about those names?
Based on the above, come up with five possible names for your business:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

After you appear up with bristles names that you absolutely like, get some feedback

from bodies you trust; they may not anticipate your name is as acceptable as you

think it is. Remember, your business has to serve a bazaar need, so finding

out what the bazaar thinks about your proposed business name, alike in a

small and breezy way, is smart.

The additional adjustment of business-name conception is to aces a name that is

totally different and has annihilation to do with your business at all, such as Amazon

.com or Xerox. These names are abundant because they are so different that they

are memorable. The accident actuality is that while your name may be unique, it may

be too odd and abstruse for bodies to bethink it. One acumen Amazon.com

and Xerox are memorable names is because those companies had the

wherewithal to get bodies to bethink them and, in the process, cast their

name. If you do not accept a ample business budget, acrimonious an obscure

name can be added of a anathema than a blessing.

The aftermost adjustment for creating a acceptable business name is to appoint someone

to name it for you. There are companies whose business is to appear up

with aggregation and artefact names, and they are generally addicted of bogus new

words for names. They usually do a abundant job of advancing up with a unique,

memorable name, and get paid amply for their efforts—$50,000 is not

uncommon. For the appropriate business, it may be a acute business move and a

worthwhile investment. For others, the amount is not account whatever results

you get. It’s a acclimation act amid bread-and-butter restraints and need.
