Formerly The Strategy of Naming
Learn to develop a winning naming strategy, a simple naming brief, and a set of shared criteria for success.
Like people, names can really only do one job well. A namer’s job is to figure out what that job is—and then find the best candidates for the role.
Why have a naming strategy?
What does a name's job tell you about potential naming strategies?
How do you develop a naming strategy?
How can your strategy become shared success criteria (and even naming research parameters)?
How does your strategy help to navigate tricky moments during presentation and consensus building?
—Optional pre-work exercise + reading materials
—Questions + prompts for developing naming strategies

Formerly The Art of Naming
Equip yourself with the right creative tools, tactics, and resources, and you’ll never get stuck in the weeds.

Try out a variety of creative prompts to get un-stuck
Experiment with tactics for building coined and invented names
Get an intro to how to build your own resources, references, and tools
Understand where AI and other tech tools can help (or harm!) your creative process
—Optional pre-work exercise + reading materials
—Guide to developing your own word palettes and personal resource library
—Dozens of prompts for name development
—Tools + tactics for developing coined names
