How to decide on company name

Discussion in 'General Business' started by casperl, Feb 25, 2007.

    What dare your suggestions related to deciding a company name?

    I tried it a little bit. Tried to find domain names with two words even with small modifications (i also used thresarus) but i could not find com for those. I guess deciding to a company name will be more difficult by time.

    What do you suggest? Should we do what google did (google is not a real word..)?

    Goofy words, if done correctly can be real good. A few years back would anyone have ever said the word "Google" or "YouTube" before? There's obviously crazier names out there than those, but you get the idea.

    What if your company will also work in your own country which has a different language from english? Do you prefer english name or non-english name in that case?

    ..and easy to remember.

    It's a good idea to find a name that is easy to remember AND pronounce ;)

    You can be daring and use a word that doesn't relate to your company at all (think Apple), it could work well (make you stand out) or not...

    Also, as related to me, by one of my mentors, make sure the domain name is very related to what you plan to do ( content ) of the domain.
