Quick Tips for Effective Brainstorming:

● Benefit-Driven: Think about the main benefits your product offers. What problems does it solve? How does it make life better?

● Thesaurus Time: If you find yourself stuck on a word, grab a thesaurus. Synonyms can spark new ideas and perspectives.

● Emotion Evoking: What emotions do you want your product to evoke in customers? Joy, trust, excitement? Words that convey these feelings can be powerful.

● Visualize the User: Picture your ideal customer. What words or phrases would catch their attention?

● Mix and Match: Combine words in unexpected ways. Sometimes, the best names come from the least expected combinations.

Take your time and enjoy the process - this is the first step in crafting a name that resonates with your audience and embodies your brand.

Section 2: Word Play and Combination

Instructions:

Now that you have a list of potential words and ideas let's have some fun with them! In this section, you'll experiment with combining, tweaking, and playing around with these words to create unique and catchy names. Think of it as a creative puzzle - how can you fit these pieces together to make something new and exciting?

Techniques to Try:

● Portmanteaus: Blend two words to create a new one. For example, 'Brunch' (Breakfast + Lunch) or 'Smog' (Smoke + Fog).

● Alliteration: Use words that start with the same letter or sound for a catchy and memorable effect. Like 'Coca-Cola' or 'Best Buy'.

● Puns: Play with word meanings and sounds for a clever twist. Be cautious, though – puns should be easy to understand and relevant.

● Foreign Flair: Sometimes, a word in another language can add an exotic touch or deeper meaning.

● Reverse It: Flip words around or use their antonyms for a fresh perspective.

Combination Space:

● Trademark Search: Conduct a basic search to see if your name is already trademarked.

Useful Links for Checks:
