The Name Game - Michael Wilding

How do you come up for names with products?

It’s one of the things I’m worst at.

There’s a bunch of tools and websites giving ideas for how to generate names. Some of the most common ones are:

Think of related words
Invent your own words
Translate into another language
Use your own name
Abbreviate
Make grammar mistakes intentionally
Pick a random word

Honestly, I’ve not found any website that has a good way of inventing names.

In my experience some people are good at it, and others aren’t.

I fall into the latter category, so I usually I ask my Holly or my mum for names.

They’re both pretty good at it.

And that’s exactly what I’m doing this morning.

Yet again it’s been proven that this is my best course of action 😉

Thank you to everybody who completed this survey yesterday. So far the response has been incredible, and it seems like a free autoresponder is a pretty popular idea 😉

There’s still time to send me your thoughts on it here if you haven’t done so yet.

Ciao,

Michael

In my career I have worked as a professional actor, senior footwear designer, professional bettor and internet marketer, as well as a variety of other short-term and rather humorous jobs. Internet marketing has allowed me to combine all the skills I’ve learnt throughout my other professions in a unique way to give me a different view of how we can use marketing to build relationships that allow us to communicate on a personal level with our readers.
