I think your massively overstating the importance of a name to the success of a company. Unless a name is straight up awful and suggests something unpleasant - it won't have an impact on the success/failure of a company.
People thought google was pretty stupid. The word Microsoft doesn't really mean anything. IBM is relatively meaningless, ditto for HP. All of those companies are massively successful because of the products they built. That's really the only thing that matters.
- benologist 16y agoIBM and HP both mean something...
- keiferski 16y agoMeaning =/= easy to say and pronounce. Apple Dell Yahoo Microsoft Google Facebook Myspace None of these really mean anything, but they're all easy to say and spell. Quora, not so much. Considering that word of mouth is the single most important "marketing method", I think it's relevant at some level.
