Mistakes To Avoid When Naming Your Business Part Two

2.  Choosing A Name Which Its Domain Is Taken. 

If you already came up with a great name for your brand, the first thing to do to see if it's viable is to look it up if it's already taken, if the name of your brand has already a .com URL taken, then it will be better to avoid it.   

Even if you see that the .net domain is available, you still should not pick it. 

3. Employing The "Train Wreck" Method Of Creating A Name 

When forced to come up with a catchy name, many aspiring entrepreneurs simply take part of an adjective and weld it onto a noun, essentially colliding the two words head-on to create a new word. The results are names that have a certain twisted rationale to them, but look and sound awful. 

Someone starting a high-end, service franchise becomes "QualiServe" Someone starting a classy day spa becomes "TranquiSpa" It's a bit like mixing chocolate syrup with ketchup; there's nothing wrong with either ingredient, but they just don't go together.

Other common truncations include Ameri, Tech, Corpand Tron. The problem with this approach is that it's simply forced. And it sounds that way.
