Brandon Fong hired Alexandra for Fun Size™ (previously called Name It ASAP). He wanted to rebrand his podcast from 7-Figure Millennials to something that spoke more to who he was, but would also attract the kind of guests he was seeking. Alexandra came uo with dozens of name ideas, and gave the podcast the new and improved name, Beyond Curious™.
No other investment you make in your business will last longer and get used more than your brand name. The impact of a well-crafted name cannot be underestimated. It will maximizes your success, instantly make your brand shine, and help you gain market share.
Conceiving and choosing a brand name without any professional input can cost you dearly and damage your brand. Plus, spinning your wheels trying to come up with catchy brand names can be a fruitless and frustrating process that can put you behind schedule.
A more efficient use of your time, which will result in a faster time to market, is to hire a professional. Not just anyone who calls themselves a professional namer though. Your greatest chance of naming success is to collaborate with an industry powerhouse. Specifically, Alexandra Watkins, the creative force behind Eat My Words and many of the names in our unmatched portfolio of fun and clever names, including the Wendy’s Baconator, frozen yogurt franchise Spoon Me, and the Neato robotic vacuum.
As the author of the definitive guide on brand names, Hello, My Name Is Awesome: How To Create Brand Names That Stick, Alexandra is widely recognized as the foremost authority on creating unforgettable brand names that get noticed and get sales.
Fun Size™ is the most affordable brand naming service for emerging businesses with revenue under $1M.
While our corporate clients, including Coca-Cola, Google, and Twitter (errrr, X) , pay Eat My Words up to $50,000 for full service name development packages, Alexandra understands that even our $15,000 full service package is out of reach for many new businesses and shoestring entrepreneurs. And she also knows that the smaller the client, the more willing they are to choose fun, cool, or clever names. That’s why Alexandra created Fun Size.
Formerly called Name It ASAP, new Fun Size allows people starting a company on a shoestring to get expert guidance and range of high-quality, high-value, name ideas for a fraction of what it costs to hire our naming firm for a full service engagement.

Just a few of the Fun Size names Alexandra has come up with:
Expect a transformational and fun creative experience.
At least one week before your live session, you’ll provide background information on your brand using the official Eat My Words’ Creative Brief. This will allow Alexandra to get up to speed on your challenge and brainstorm in advance. (She will set up a call
with you if she has any questions before she starts.)
During your supercharged session, Alexandra will give you her professional opinion on any names you’ve come up with on your own. (She can always spot a diamond in the rough, which Alexandra may be able to turn into gems.)
Next, she will reveal a range of creative names that she’s came up with in advance. She’ll ask for your feedback on them, so she can see what you like and explore more names for you on the call if you like. Then Alexandra will pull back the curtain and show you how she works her magic.
Based on your unique needs, she will give you a customized creative experience. You’ll get access to her best brainstorming tools, including secret sources so valuable to her that she doesn’t reveal them in her book or masterclass. (Even if you spend the whole call talking about the names she came up with for you, she’ll still send you her best brainstorming resources.)
By the end of your session, you’ll have fresh name ideas and the knowledge, tools, and confidence to move forward. And if none of the names Alexandra comes up with for you make you smile, your money will be refunded. That’s how confident she is in her work.

How many names will I get?

What’s the best way to prepare for my Fun Size™ session?
The more information you can include in your Creative Brief, the more productive and successful your session will be. Also, if you haven’t done so already, it’s suggested that you read (or at least skim) the first three breezy chapters of Alexandra’s book, Hello, My Name is Awesome.
How can I maximize my time with Alexandra?
To give Alexandra as much creative leeway as possible, provide all of the background information you’re asked for in advance, including any names you’ve come up with on your own and any words you might want to explore having in your new name.
How does Alexandra prep for my call?
She will need a week or two to study your background information, review the names you’ve come up with on your own, dive into your her brainstorming sources, and create a solid list of starter names. If she has questions before she begins, she’ll set up a quick call with you.
Will my names be trademark screened?
Due to the quick turnaround and low cost, the names presented to you will not have been screened for trademark conflicts, however there will definitely be names on your list that will clear. Alexandra has an excellent track record for getting names that get “Go” grades from her longtime go-to trademark screener. She will share his contact information with you after your session.

What kind of payment is accepted?
Payment can be made via ACH bank transfer, paper check, or credit card via PayPal.
What if I don’t like any of the names? Is there a guarantee?
While taste is of course subjective, Alexandra is so confident in her work and the hundreds of happy clients she has worked with, that if none of the names on your list make you smile, she will refund your money.
