Global Brand Namer
Generate premium, cross-culturally resonant brand names by mining non-English vocabulary and pairing with strategic domain modifiers. This skill transforms generic naming sessions into systematic linguistic exploration.
Core Naming Principles
- Phonetic Fluidity - The word must be easily pronounceable by an English-speaking audience without phonetic training. Avoid heavy consonant clusters, tonal requirements, or characters that don't transliterate cleanly.
- Domain Viability - Assume all raw, single words (e.g., Takumi, Agbara) are squatted. Always pair the base word with a strategic modifier. See
references/saas-modifiers.md. - Syllabic Brevity - Target 2-3 syllables maximum for the base word. One-syllable words work if they're distinctive.
- Semantic Depth - The meaning behind the word should resonate with the product's purpose. A name with real meaning creates richer brand storytelling.
- Cross-Lingual Safety - Verify the transliterated word doesn't mean something offensive in major world languages (English slang, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mandarin).
