  1. For most name architectures, fewer brand names are better than more with intuitive, easy-to-understand, generic names at the lower levels.
  2. Where are brand names arguably the most important in driving sales. What about fragrances with names like Dior, kai, Prada and Voluspa?
  3. Tis' the season for helping others. If you know of anyone with an older autistic child or adult, maybe refer them to www.jobs4autism.com?
  4. So what do you name an anti-hacking product that protects Twitter from the Iran Cyber Army: http://tinyurl.com/ybbkcm5? How about Failsafe?
  5. If you're traveling to Seattle over the holidays, consider staying at Hotel Deca in the university district. A cool name & great rooms too.
  6. Years to build and days to destroy. Our opinion: sponsors should run, not walk away from the Tiger Woods brand name and endorsements.

  13. Austin, TX, is a creative mecca. Lots of young, talented, exciting people. A vibrant, optimistic vibe. Great music, weather & more...
  14. Bank names tend to be very similar. One we're proud of is 4 letters, differentiating & conveys a wealth of info: http://tinyurl.com/yd4yfu2
  15. As the year comes to an end, cleaning up one's brand portfolio with a brand name audit seems timely for some: http://tinyurl.com/ns2vy8
  16. Linguistic screening of names should check for issues with direct translation, transliteration, visual/phonetic similarity and more...
  17. Creating your own private label name has appeal if you control distribution , but the names can get wacky: http://tinyurl.com/ye4xt66
