Is this a good name for a company?
Hi,
I'm trying to pick up a name for a web company I want to create and would much appreciate your help. The company will run and manage a number of web properties owned by the company (similar to Demand Media).
So far, I've come across this name: Mivious
I specifically have a few questions regarding the name:
- Does the name have any meaning in any language? I have checked and haven't come across anything, but are you aware of any meaning or usage of that name?
- Is this a good name for this type of company or any company in general?
- How does it sound to you?
- Is it easy to pronounce and remember?
Many thanks for your help.
- ra 15y agoIt's a brandable, it's pronouncable and rememberable. It's registered: http://whois.domaintools.com/mivious.com http://whois.domaintools.com/mivious.com (to you?) It's fine. edit: For trademark searches check USPTO and ipaustralia
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot. Yes, it's actually registered to me. Also thanks for pointing out that I need to check whether the name is a registered trademark. I'm going to have a look on that.
- Khao 15y agoI speak French and can say this doesn't ressemble any word and does not create any confusion. It's easily pronounceable and is overall very good in my opinion.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot
- thmzlt 15y agoSounds fine (and does not create confusion) in Portuguese as well.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot.
- nametoremember 15y agoMy-Vee-Us. Not bad at all. Good luck with whatever you're doing.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot. I thought it can also be pronounced as Meh-Vee-Us
- peng 15y agoIt's okay. It a bit generic and sounds a lot like "Oblivious" or "Obvious" -- but since it's not a consumer-facing brand, you should be fine.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot for your feedback.
- haakon 15y agoIt sounds almost like "devious", which might be negatively connotated (but English is not my first language, so what do I know). It's also phonetically a bit close to Mevio (a podcasting company at http://www.mevio.com http://www.mevio.com ), so if you're in a similar business, perhaps it could be problematic. Otherwise it sounds and looks cool, and good luck.
- proexploit 15y agoDevious was also my first thought, possible self related "me being devious". You may have some people who think that but many may not as well.
- sirwitti 15y agosounds good to me too. it does not have any meaning or soundalikes in german. so good luck :)
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot for your feedback.
- akaak 15y agoIf you are planning to model to support various properties what about Omvious (may be more memorable)? Om from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om or from Omni. Domain seems to be available. Mivious sounds simple, memorable and catchy. btw, i would have said it the same way: Meh-Vee-Us.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot. I think Omvious is a very good name. But to be honest, I feel Mivious sounds a little better (probably easier to remember?). Also thanks for confirming the pronunciation. I thought this is how it's pronounced, but as English is not my first language I wasn't completely sure.
- imjonathanlee 15y agoIt stands out as a unique name. It might slip my mind the first few times when I see it, but I could see it sticking around once it becomes popular.
- waleedfi 15y agoThanks a lot.
