Examples of Creative Business Names:

1. Google.

The name Google is a play on the amount of information you can find with this search engine. The founders joked that you could find a googol of information, a googol being the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. So, when the founders presented their idea to an angel investor, the check they received was made out to "Google."

2. Groupon.

Groupon is a combination of the words "group" and "coupon," which describes what this company is: a website that is a group of coupons for customers to search and use. By combining the two keywords and removing some letters, the founders created a unique, easily remembered, and distinctive name for themselves.

3. Volkswagen.

The idea to create a car "for the masses," that would be able to transport two adults and two children, was first introduced in Germany. "Volkswagen" means "people's car" in German, and so literally describes this idea with a combination of keywords.

4. Brandless.

Brandless is an e-commerce company that wanted to convey their mission statement of "better doesn't have to cost more." They branded their company with the creative name "Brandless" to indicate that customers don't have to pay the high prices demanded by brand names for a quality product.

5. Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola uses coca leaves and kola nuts to flavor their soft drinks. They used the keywords "coca" from the coca leaves and "kola" from the kola nuts to create a mashup name. The founder then changed the "k" in kola to a "c" for fluidity.

6. Ollie.

Ollie is a pet food business that delivers fresh meals for dogs straight to pet-owners' doors. The company echoed the personal and approachable nature of their business by using a human name and humanizing their company.

7. Ikea.

Ikea was founded by a Swedish man who took the first letters of his name, Ingvar Kamprad, and the property, Elmtaryd, and village, Agunnaryd, where he grew up to create the name for his company.

8. Six Apart.

This is a web company with co-founders Ben and Mena Trott. The name comes from the fact that the co-founders were born 6 days apart from each other.

9. Hotmail.

The co-founders of Hotmail wanted their company name to end in the word "mail". They eventually settled on adding the prefix "hot" and creating Hotmail as the name contains the letters HTML, which references the programming language used to create the site.

10. Skype.

Skype was released as a software for peer-to-peer communication and the name was chosen to reflect this key idea. The prototype was named "Sky-Peer-to-Peer," but due to problems with using such a long brand name, it was later shortened to "Skyper." However, most of the domain names related to "Skyper" were already taken, so it became Skype.

11. Verizon.

Verizon is a combination of the Latin word veritas, which means "truth," and horizon. The founders chose a name that is meant to tap into the customers' emotions to invoke images of a wide-open aether, vision, openness, and honesty.

12. ASUS.

The ASUS technology company got its name from the Greek mythological creature, Pegasus. Pegasus is a winged horse that is meant to symbolize knowledge. ASUS dropped the first 3 letters of the name so that they would appear higher in alphabetical lists. Later, they created a spinoff company called Pegatron, using the unused letters of "Pegasus."

Who Should Use Creative Business Names?

The best part of using a creative business name is that it is suitable for any kind of company. The word "creative" can have different meanings; it can be artistic, original, stylish, clever, imaginative, or innovative. Creative names can be fun, quirky, thought-provoking, or high-tech. Or they can be a combination of all these ideas.

Having a creative name for your business simply means that it is innovative, unique, and imaginative and will help your business to stand out from the crowd, no matter what industry you are in. Of course, creative names generally work best for creative companies, but there are tech startups that also benefit from this naming style.
