Shameless plug of my own take on this: http://messymatters.com/nominology http://messymatters.com/nominology
Sam Stokes (Rapportive co-founder) called it his "favourite post on naming things". :)
Ooh, and Sam's coworker called it "absolutely brilliant". I might be reaching now.
- artgon 14y agoHow would you rate Learndot based on that scale?
- dreeves 14y agoGreat question! Let's see... EVOC: green, especially with the cute tagline, "learning, period" BREV: green or yellow; slightly shorter than wikipedia GREP: green; perfectly greppable GOOG: green; perfectly googlable PRON: green; perfectly pronounceable SPEL: yellow or red, given the confusion with "learn dot dot com" VERB: yellow; the verbification isn't obvious but probably verbable So all in all I think it's a good name!
- btyrad 14y agoDreeves~ Loved the post myself! Thank you for sharing. I at times wonder about my startup name, but your criteria laid out does help rationalize a decision. Still am curious about names with numbers...37signals, or 86..
