Show HN: I'm writing a book on finding a startup name

1 pointsby kcoviaabout 11 years ago
I&#x27;m writing a book for finding a startup&#x2F;product name, aptly titled &quot;The Book of Naming.&quot;<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kcovia.com&#x2F;thebookofnaming.html<p>It&#x27;s pretty much a complete walkthrough to the whole process. I take a 4-part approach: create a ton of names, analyze them, test them, then compare them for a final decision.<p>Any feedback would be awesome!<p>(Also, I&#x27;ve posted on HN for years under <i>keiferski</i> but actually changed my _real_ name because it&#x27;s extremely Polish and doesn&#x27;t work well for English speakers.)
