More than anything else, a name needs to be available. To make sure it is, we check business registries, search engines, and other databases. We also check for domain name and social media availability. Finally, we perform a cursory U.S. trademark search.*Brand Positioning
David Ogilvy, often considered "The Father of Advertising," defines positioning as what the product does, and who it is for. In other words, a company's name should match its brand identity.Construction
Like a well-built house, a great name has certain structural qualities.- Easy to spell and pronounce
- First letter is early in the alphabet

- Verb potential

A company's name should be descriptive, but not too descriptive. A great name hints at what you do, but is flexible enough to accommodate for future growth.If Amazon were originally named Big Book Store (to reflect their initial book-selling business), expansion into other markets would be difficult, if not impossible. Fortunately, Amazon planned long term and chose a name that was not too specific.
