Naymz That Make Us Insane

I was interviewed this week by Inc. Technology on what the biggest mistakes are in choosing a domain name. I wish I had remembered this doozie – Naymz, which is the epitome of everything WRONG with a name… It’s seriously spelling-challenged (we’ll give it an A+) and beyond annoying. The cutesy spelling is downright offensive to anyone who knows how to spell. The irony is that Naymz is a professional “Reputation Network” site (think LinkedIn wannabe) with a homepage that screams “Put your good name to work.” Okay, Naymz how about you put your BAD name out of its misery.

Here are some other recent Head Scratcher submissions to our Name Shame Hall of Fame…

Technorganic (a seriously twisted website with a forced name that tries too hard and doesn’t work… the “o” in Techno is silent when you merge it with Organic, so it sounds like Tech Norganic. Next time hire a naming firm… we know a really good one.)

Adayana

Sambazon (they export Acai from Brazil )

Norvax (Insurance Agents – sounds like a vaccine)

Hauppauge Digital

NuCo2

Frebreze

Far 4 (ceramics store)

Keep those bad naymz coming!
