NAMING PROCESS OVERVIEW

Little is proprietary in the overall nature and sequence of naming steps:

  1. Fact-finding

  2. Naming Plan

  3. Generation of ‘master list’ of candidate names

  4. First cut selections, by consultant

  5. Second cut selections, with client

  6. Preliminary legal-availability search

  7. Triage and ‘short list’ selection

  8. Linguistic evaluation

  9. Comprehensive searches

  10. Oral/aural evaluation

  11. Graphic demonstration and evaluation

  12. Market research evaluation (when appropriate)

  13. Final legal risk evaluation

  14. Name decision

Any naming activity must in some way incorporate these steps. Our confidence of a successful result derives from our quantitative push for diversity and creativity in generation, and especially from the thoroughness of our planning discipline.
