Hey everyone! Today was very BIG for me in a good way. We have been working on this one particular product for about 6-7 months now and finally have it to a point where I was constantly saying: “Wow….this could be huge.” (And realistically, it can also be a tremendous flop). I cannot really talk about what it is, how it works or what it does, but it has the potential to be pretty big.
I need some brainstorming help. We are about 1-2 months away from release, but I am not happy with the name. It’s too simple, plain and ordinary. I am looking for something completely unique and different and really need help with suggestions. If you can help me pick a name, and I end up using it (the chances of this are quite high at this point) I will send you $100 as payment in exchange for your intellectual contribution.
Here are some good examples of what I am looking for, they are names that when there originated meant nothing, but now are widely recognized:
– Twitter
– Yahoo
– Google
– Zanga
– Flickr
(You will notice that these are all 2 syllable words)
Please leave your email address with your suggestions (I cannot pay you if I cannot contact you). Make as many suggestions as you like. If we have several good names, we will have a vote off! Thanks for your help!

First couple that came to first to the top of my head. Pictoral, Dreampix, Finepic, Filmic, SnapPix, Picsnap, Shotpic. So these might be way out in left field, but I just typed as things hit me. Brainstorming…..hmmm… If I come up with any others I will post. Good luck with your "BIG" project!!! Can’t wait to find out.
Scott is on the right track. They need to be uncommon and unordinary type names. Thanks!
