Naming Process

Naming is vital for brands as it shapes their positioning, proposal, values, and brand architecture. The brand name’s mission is to balance behavior, insight, and demography strategies.

In my 10 years of brand creation experience, I’ve learned that there’s no magic recipe or single quality for a good name. What matters is the holistic vision and understanding that the evaluation process provides for the best chance of success.

To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, I prefer visually representing the criteria. This approach allows for perceptual comparison while considering rational requirements.

Six topics are graded from 0 to 5 to achieve a balanced outcome among the criteria.

/Neologism

The Jǫtnar of Norse myth is often described as exceedingly beautiful, not necessarily as large giants.
The reference to large people is intriguing since it does not suggest huge giants, but individuals that appear larger than most men..

/Neologism
“Donkey Kong” is one of the most recognizable gorillas in pop culture, along with a pair of bongos accompanying the character in games.
Using the bongos, as the main element, with the characteristic “XL” of a large size, Bongx emerges a name that does not define gender for the brand and allows expanding the product catalog for men and women.
