How I came up with my product name

Thinking up names sure can be tricky. Name trends are silly for web businesses, no doubt - word+ ster, word +r, and now word + ly.<p>MockupTiger actually fits a name trend I call 'adjective animal', which is very popular in the jewelry and gallery world - Sleepy Lizard Designs, Golden Swallow Jewelry, Soaring Eagle, stuff like that. I suppose there are web businesses with that sort of name, too, MailChimp for instance. It's a good combination - animals are symbolic, memorable, and having a mascot works well for many types of marketing and branding.<p>Just make sure nobody confuses you with my personal favorite auction site, <a href="http://valuetiger.com/" rel="nofollow">http://valuetiger.com/</a> !

Does anyone else find the number + word naming strategy annoying? I am referring to people naming websites similar to 37signals
