Not sure if this belongs on SO but nonetheless it involves web dev/programming…

I think i’m pretty creative in general but when it comes to naming something giving its own identity im totally short of any inspiration..or rather incapable of providing something thats catchy.(Like Twitter and tweets etc)

So you’ve got this great idea, maybe its an app(lication – depending on how much of an apple fanboy you are) or a website. In my opinion about 71% of the success is down to the brand name(something catchy)/identity, regardless of how good the actual application is.

Any idea where to begin with something like that & How do you get inspiration for something like this?

    You’re a programmer … so by default you aren’t built to think like an advertisement exec.

    Best practice? Sound it out verbally, make sure it has a ring to it. Then bounce the name(s) off of about 10 people that are not very computer savvy and let them pick the best one.

    If someone proposed “Twitter” as a name to me I would have mocked it. Some of my less-tech-savvy peers would have probably liked it because it has a ring to it and reminds them of Bambi.
