Weekend arrival is just the best thing, chilling out with friends, enjoying to the fullest but for few, this is still a luxury, who have to work even on the weekend. Building a startup is a great responsibility from finding the best name for it, to building a market for it, capturing the customers; everything from a pin to plane. But everything can be achieved only if you have a good name to capture the attention of the people; from making potential customers to your actual customers.
“Hey, woman!” or “Hie, Brian’s son” imagine someone addressing you or calling in public and knows you real close. Weird! Isn’t it. Now similarly imagine naming a company, n the same way, let’s suppose take an example of subway. If subway didn’t have the name and had a name like “Bimboway” funny isn’t. If this type of name were used instead of subway it wouldn’t have been able to succeed in the first place. So could be the situation with you, trying to find a good name for your startup.
