PREFACE

How & Why

This Book Was Written ?

You know sometime things happen just like that- in an

amusingly strange way. The credit for getting- my

knowledge, practical experience on the subject matter

spread over 24 years & GOD gifted talent of Creativity,

converted into the shape of this amazing Book; goes to

The movie scene propelled me to put into action my

hunches, dreams & hopes to write the book on the subject

& principles which I have been practicing religiously in

every project of mine as well as clients’ for all these years

knowingly & unknowingly.

The Other reason why I wrote this book is the

plights I empathize with, of millions of Business owners

who unfortunately undermine the importance of a “Catchy

Name” for their business or product & foolishly spend huge

amount on advertising & marketing trying to establish

themselves in market or compete with smarter guy who

knows & practices the “Power of Name” & finally fail

miserably, shutting down their businesses, going bankrupt

sometimes.

INTRODUCTION


INTRODUCTION

Introduction

So, When one of the original founder brother Dick

McDonald asked Ray Kroc the new owner of McDonald’s

Business that why he did not just steal or copy the whole

business system including process, quality & everything they

shown him during the kitchen tour at their restaurant & open

his own restaurant?

Ray Kroc replied with a smile & surprise answer of

which even the original founders were not aware & did not

bother much for it’s protection.

He told Dick that their business is not just the speedy

& efficient system of fast food serving but the glorious

powerful name McDonald’s…Which sound like America --a

whole BIG Powerful Country.

The McDonald brethren did not bother to protect their

famous restaurant chain’s Brand Name with Trademark &

Word Mark, which was first acquired by Ray Kroc & they lost

it.

And armored with this powerful name Ray Kroc was

able to build an empire which is now one of the top ten most

valuable U.S. brands based on company value, with its brand

value of 143.8 billion U.S. dollars in year 2020. (Source :

www.statista.com )

India’s undisputed leader in Job Search Industry -

Sanjeev Bikhchandani's Naukri.com was the starting point of

my interests in Catchy business brand & domain names when

for the first time I read an article on the venture in year 1999

during my MCA College at Agra.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

It was an amusing thing to see a Hindi name for a high

tech dot com venture grabbing attention of Jobseekers &

Investors equally & most of all it was amazingly popular in

short period of time because of it’s simplicity & powerful ability

to connect the mind of prospects with the brand & It’s services

immediately

SUCH IS THE POWER OF NAME.

THE POWER OF

NAME


THE POWER OF NAME

{1}

The Name alone has enormous power in

an overcommunicated society.

“Brand Positioning” has been considered as the best strategy

in Marketing & brand development for last 40 years or so.

The concept was first introduced by Marketing

Strategy geniuses duo- Al Ries & Jack Trout in early 1980s.

Since then it has been a guiding principle for Marketers, Big

Advertising Agencies & Business Owners.

In their famous book

with same name: POSITIONING-

The battle for your Mind” they

elaborate further that-in this

overcommunicated society

with humongous noise from

advertisers everywhere .

The most important marketing

decision you can make is

What to name your Brand

( Product / Company or both).

Positioning your brand in powerful

way has been a herculean task &

very few seem to know the art to

overcome this big hurdle.

THE POWER OF NAME

The Power of Name

You see, how much ad content in the form of Adverts

on TV, FM Radio, Social Media & across internet you are

consuming.

Every player is out in the market to gamble

whatever is in his pocket to win the hearts & get heard by the

potential customers. Most of them cluelessly waste their

money on advertising & marketing & get nothing & return to

their bunkers empty handed.

And this is so overwhelming that now people don’t

bother to these ads, until something come out of the blue

which catches their attention in first attempt.

THE POWER OF NAME

The Power of Name

Name is the Point of Contact Between the

Message & Customer’s Mind.

A good & interesting name will invoke positive feeling &

interest which will lead to generate a favorable perception in

the mind of prospective customer; while a bad or improper

name will start a chain reaction that only serves to confirm

your initial unfavorable opinion for the brand.

Why, So? Because - “

YOU SEE WHAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE”

So what impression these names make upon your mind when

you read or hear them?

BRAND NAME CATEGORIES

Almost all the brand names cane be divided into 5 categories

on the parameter of their strength to grow into a Super

Brand.

1. Strong & Powerful by Birth

2. Powered by Vitamin M ( Money, Huge Money)

3. Dark Horses

4. Peculiar Words

5. Unsolicited & Rude

1 . Strong & Powerful by Birth

Some Brands Names are powerful by birth & they grow

organically into a Super Brand with inherent genetic power

if supported by a consistent Quality of Product & Service &

Business Practices.

2. Powered by Vitamin M ( Money, Huge Money)

Some Brand name become popular only after a heavy dose

of Vitamin-M i.e. Huge expenditure on Brand Visibility &

Advertising over years.

(3) Dark Horses :

Here are few homegrown Business names which went viral

overnight riding over their catchiness without any ad

expenses.


BRAND NAME CATEGORIES

Brand Name Categories

4. Peculiar Words

Although name that resembles your business is a

good choice to draw the attention of your target audience, yet

many businesses around the world do opt with unique words

that are not inevitably associated directly to their business line

or the profession or product or services.

This tactic works nicely in the minds of the customers

and keeps them guessing – why the company has such a

strange name?

For instance – OLA, SYSKA,OYO, ZUARI, Apple and Amazon

that do not resemble their business arena.

Few more such Indian Brands are :

Hawai Ghoda & Postman ( Mustard & Groundnut Oil Brands

resoectively ) & Kala Ghoda ( A Famous Tea Leaves Brand)

THE RULES OF

NAMING PROCESS


THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

{3}

You can’t have a Business without a Business Name.

Nor You should have a casual or disputed Name.

But the process of choosing the perfect business name that

is both catchy and communicates what your business is

about; is by no means easy.

Many Businesses have failed in the past largely due to a

name that just didn’t work, so it’s important to get this right.

Choosing a good business name is very important if

it’s going to be successful and it’s key to differentiating you

from your competitors.

Customers associate a business name with the value it

provides to them.

Legal Angle to Consider

Before you start for picking up the perfect business name,

you should have a clear idea of what type of business entity

structure you are going to have from legal standpoint.

This is important because rules regarding name registration

vary depending on the structure of your business.

CATCHY BRAND & DOMAIN NAMES | © CHANDRASHEKHAR SINGH 15


THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

If your business is a company i.e. Limited (listed or

unlisted), Private Limited, OPC-One Person Company or

LLP-Limited Liability Partnership you need to register the

business name with respective ROC- Registrar of

Companies of your city & then GST Dept.

In case of Sole proprietor or Partnership firm, you

need to register your business name with GST Dept .

Another obvious thing to do while naming your

business is to check if the name is already in use.

Technically speaking, unless a business name in India is

registered as a trademark, it can be used by multiple

entities.

You may have seen may eateries on with the name of

any famous one only many Highways of India like Gulshan

Dhaba on Delhi-Agra Highway( NH-2).

THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

Points to remember while

Naming your Business (Rules)

As narrated earlier, the main purpose of a Business or

Product name should be to communicate what services you

are offering while being easy to remember and unique, if

possible.

Here are a few useful tips to keep in mind:

1. Be descriptive but not too general or vague

2. Use related words in a creative way. ...

3. Keep it simple. ...

4. Don't copy your competitors. ...

5. Avoid using your own name. ...

6. Choose a name that's scalable. ...

7. Use your industry or Product Keywords

8. Wrong Spellings

9. Use Acronyms

1 0. Make sure you have a related domain,

preferably a dot com

1. Be descriptive but not too general or vague

Don’t choose a name that is too vague or too

meaningful. Generic names, like – Meena Tiffin Service, is

not only boring but also not easy to remember. Moreover, it

doesn’t stand out from other providers.

CATCHY BRAND & DOMAIN NAMES | © CHANDRASHEKHAR SINGH

17


THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

Now consider the name Corporate Kitchen, PhotoBucket or

Canva – these are descriptive enough, not boring, and not

something you’re not likely to forget.

2. Use related words in a creative way

Don’t be tempted to stuff many keywords into your

business name you are in love with. Using plain keywords like

General Motors doesn’t work anymore.

But often, choosing a somewhat modified version of

related keywords works very well, provided it expresses what

your business or product is all about.

A good way to create catchy, memorable business

names is to use alternate versions of common words related

to the service you’re offering.

For example, the name Pet-Pooja (पेट-पूजा) can be a good &

catchy name for a Restaurant.

*(Pet/ पेट- Hindi word for Stomach)

3. Keep it Simple [Easy to Pronounce & Remember]

Don’t choose a name that is too long or complicated.

Remember that your business name needs to be appealing to

your customers. It should sound pleasant, familiar and

conjure up positive emotions whenever they hear it not the

reverse.

CATCHY BRAND & DOMAIN NAMES | © CHANDRASHEKHAR SINGH 18


THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

It also needs to be easy to pronounce and remember.

Consider the name Echelon – it’s not only hard to pronounce

for a common man, but it’s downright obscure. Whenever

you need to explain your business name, it’s probably not a

good sign.

It’s okay to be a bit clever, but don’t overdo yourself.

The name is a play on the word Attention – Attention of

Prospective Customer

Other examples include Digg (dig), Flickr (flicker) and

Compaq (compact).

4. Don’t Copy Your Competitors

Avoid choosing a name too similar to other businesses in

your industry. It can mean appearing to be a counterfeit,

unoriginal & unethical which is not good for your brand

image.

It can also mean potential customers confuse your

business with your competition making it more difficult to

get repeat work & a total wastage of money if you spend

handsome amount on advertising which will surely benefit

to the Competitor also.

5. Avoid using your own name

Unless you as a person are an established brand being a well

awarded & Acclaimed Social or Political Leader,

Sportsperson, Speaker, Trainer, Coach or some kind of film

or Social Media celebrity or Solo Practitioner Professional

like a Doctor, CA or Lawyer avoid using your own name.

CATCHY BRAND & DOMAIN NAMES | © CHANDRASHEKHAR SINGH

THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

Your name doesn’t communicate anything about your

business and won’t mean much to potential customers. This

may even cause problems if you ever want to sell your

business in future or even if you wish to expand.

There are some rare examples however where

integrating the owner’s name or Surname within the brand

name can work well. Examples are – Tybros ( Tyagi Brother),

Chansons (Chandgiram & Sons) Automattic (named after its

founder Matt) and Ford Motors (Henry Ford).

6. Choose a name that’s scalable

Pick a name that can allow future expansion or new product /

service category addition to your business.

Say, Today if you sell just books, you might one day

plan to sell stationery products or accessories too. If your

service is based in a certain town or city, after few years you

might extend to other cities. So, select a broad name that can

encompass your future growth.

7. Use your industry or Product Keywords

Some business giants keep their names that directly give an

idea about their business. Such business names easily make

a place in the viewers’ mind. For instance – Burger King,

Shuttl, Pizza Hut

THE RULES OF NAMING

PROCESS

The Naming Process

8. Use ACRONYM

There is a practice of making use of several words to name a

creative business name and then using the acronym to form

the business name..

TCS (Tata Consultancy Services),

ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network),

and

FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom)

A domain name can impact your online visibility and

influences your marketing efforts to a great extent in present

times.Having said that, you shouldn’t necessarily abandon a

good business name just because an exact domain is not

available.

Here are a couple of tips & Tricks that you can use to get a

Catchy Domain Name based upon your Business name:-

If it’s a parked domain, consider buying it. It’s probably

going to cost you, but a search-friendly, memorable domain is

worth it.

Housing.com & HelloPanditji.com both bought their

domains from their previous owners in exchange of good

amount.

Add modifiers to the name. Say your Store name is

Divine Shop and you sell Indian Worshipping Products

but divineshop.com is already taken. Then you can look for

domain names like :

divineshoppe.com or divineshopindia.com.

Domain Names

Be creative with domain selection. Nowadays,

businesses use different TLDs (Top-Level Domains) or

extensions to make their URLs more memorable.

For example, the infographics platform chose

infograpia.com their domain. They chose a ccTLD (.io)

which is naturally a part of their business name. Another

well-known example is rapitags.io.

Another Examples is Swarup.co for a company Swarup

International, based in Delhi.

How to derive creative Names & Domain Names by yourself
