How I came up with my product name

  Does anyone else find the number + word naming strategy annoying? I am referring to people naming websites similar to 37signals

  Thinking up names sure can be tricky. Name trends are silly for web businesses, no doubt - word+ ster, word +r, and now word + ly. MockupTiger actually fits a name trend I call 'adjective animal', which is very popular in the jewelry and gallery world - Sleepy Lizard Designs, Golden Swallow Jewelry, Soaring Eagle, stuff like that. I suppose there are web businesses with that sort of name, too, MailChimp for instance. It's a good combination - animals are symbolic, memorable, and having a mascot works well for many types of marketing and branding. Just make sure nobody confuses you with my personal favorite auction site, http://valuetiger.com/ http://valuetiger.com/ !
