Business Name Tips
Naming your company
Avoid:
-
Your own name (although contractions can work, such as Adidas, from German athlete founder Adolph "Adi" Dassler).
- Descriptive names (Cool Air-Conditioning).
- Generic names (Babysitting Services).
- Trendy names (remember all the .com endings?).
- Names that are rude in other languages.
- Names that tie you to one country (America On Line, National Australia Bank).
- Too many syllables.
- Names that are hard to pronounce or spell.
Think about:
Your own name (although contractions can work, such as Adidas, from German athlete founder Adolph "Adi" Dassler).
-
Whether you want to be near the top of alphabetical lists.
-
Using an existing word that has nothing to do with your business (Apple, Virgin).
-
Making up a word (Coca-Cola).
-
Foreign words (Reebok, an African antelope).
-
Clever contractions (Vodafone, from voice, date, telephone).
