A memorable business name can help you to create a long lasting impact and stay in the minds of your prospects and customers for a long time.

Entrepreneur magazine contributor Brad Flowers has shared seven ways to make your new business name memorable.

Flowers says, “A business name has done its job if it causes a person to pause for a second. And it’s even more valuable if you can remember it long after that pause. Memorability matters.

So how do you create a memorable name? In a 2003 article from the Journal of Advertising, the authors cited the following features that enhance either the recall or recognition of brand names:

  • Rhyme
  • Unusual spelling
  • Onomatopoeia
  • Initial hard consonant
  • Wordplay
  • Brand-name fit

Let’s look at a few in greater detail, along with some other factors that influence memorability”.
