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 a shoestring budget.
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 $17,500 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.
To qualify for Fun Size, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Self-funded company
- 3 employees or fewer
- A desire for our unique signature style of creative, fun, clever, and or/evocative names
- Your name is not dependent on exact match dot com domain name being available
If the above criteria fits you, click below to book a Discovery Call, or read on to learn more.

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.
