What’s in a business (brand) name?
We can assume a lot from a name- be it gender, origin, and sometimes age. For brands, it’s the first thing we learn about what the company is. You may not know everything from the name, but it’s a start. Names can even be clever, tongue-in-cheek inside jokes. Look at Hootsuite- it’s a play on the French term ‘toot suite’, which means ‘right away’. The ‘hoot’ is making fun of the bird-related brand names popular at the time (like Twitter)!
The search for originality
Logistically, even once you settle on a name the work is only half done. Now you need to check to see if another company already has your name and whether there’s already trademarks or copyrights associated with the name. After all, in 2021 is highly likely that someone somewhere has the same brand name- even if the company is in a different industry to yours.
Your name tells your audience who you are- it’s a blank canvas. It can say as much or as little as you want, but it’s what should shape the rest of your branding.
So what next?
You’ve finally decided on a name, but you’re not sure of the look that should go with it. It’s kind of like clothes shopping- you know what style you like, but you don’t know how to get there. Or, you have a vision but you don’t know what name to go with!

The hunt for a unicorn. Account price, smell, function, ingredients, it can seem a shot in the dark without spending hours in the store reading labels and making comparisons. Much like looking for a mythological creature, you need luck, skill, and a whole lot of searching to find what you want…or you give up. It doesn’t help that in the cosmetics world, a lot of products are just horses pretending to be unicorns. So how do you stand out with your own business?
