What the council debates
Help us develop a brand direction and find a name worth owning. Debate the candidates hard. CONTEXT: [what the product/company is, its audience, and the feeling it should evoke] WHAT IT MUST SIGNAL: [the core associations you want] CONSTRAINTS: [tone, must-avoids, domain/trademark realities] ANY CANDIDATES SO FAR: [names you are considering, if any] Debate: 1. The brand idea — the single distinctive meaning to build around. 2. The voice and personality that should run through everything. 3. Naming candidates — distinctiveness, memorability, pronounceability, ownability. 4. The trap of literal/descriptive names that are impossible to own. 5. How each candidate ages and stretches as the company grows. FINAL SYNTHESIS: - A clear brand direction (the core meaning + voice). - A ranked shortlist of name candidates with the reasoning and the risk for each. - A reminder of the practical checks needed (domain, social handles, and trademark clearance with qualified counsel).
