like a German megaconglomerate (CH+S, AG) that specializes in making precision grommets for Mercedes.-Ralf Maximus (November 10, 2007, 12:16 AM)

Ralf Maximus:
Some of those companies have done well, but I think its harder for users to naturally associate the weird product name with what it actually does. Unless a lot of marketing to drives it across.

Yep. You've touched on a pet peeve of mine: cute product names that by themselves mean nothing. I would probably have never found Find and Run Robot had it been called "Yalooby".
It's strictly a personal thing, but I'd be happier if mouser's products ended up with descriptive names, rather than something from a random word generator.

My apologies to all the legitimate manufacturers of precision grommets. I did not mean to cause any offense.
iphigenie:
When it comes to names, though, with so many words trademarked and so many concepts saturated, it is a challenge.
I have had to come up time and time again for a name for a company/software/website/product and it gets harder and harder.
You either go descriptive (not easily trademarkeable), invented (all the web2.0 names, they just needed a domain name pronounceable and not taken) (so instead of farr we'd have 'fzoolia'), combine 2-3 words together ('launchology'), or use a color (about every creative agency in the uk is purple this, yellow that...)
It's hard to be original nowadays
