Dreaming up names can be a blast if you have talent. Of course the names created by Eat My Words aren't your typical trainwrecks resembling encrypted passwords that some naming firms pass off as "creative." Our names actually have concepts behind them. For instance, a chain of frozen yogurt stores named Spoon Me, an all-natural energy drink for women named Bloom, a home-cleaning robot named Neato, and gourmet dips for kids named Monkey Dunks. The visually evocative names we create make strong emotional connections with consumers and are instantly likable, which make them easier to remember than mangled, forced, and seemingly meaningless names. Easier said than done. If you think you have skills, we invite you to take our Namer Test...send us your top 20 names for a cool new external hard drive that stores an enormous amount of data. (Send names in an email to dreamjobs @ eatmywords.com. No attachments, please.) If your style matches are style, you'll hear back from us. To give you a head start, here are examples of some name submissions we have loved, and some that didn't exactly melt our butter...
