Hey, looking for some help with some creative writing. Trying to come up with a name for something at work. Want to convey the idea of something being "big" and "aggressive" and if at all possible, something to do with breaking boundaries or extending limits or something like that. Can bring up mental images of "hitting hard" or "hammering".

Can't break any copyrights, or infringe on any American consumer products.

Looking for a 1-2 word name that is reasonably easy to spell and pronounce.

Goliath
Jackhammer
The Beast
etc.

your companies naming guidelines are way more fun than mine.. damn.

I'd target the permian specifically.. Maybe something like the longhorn or something. maybe the matador, but that might not be PC enough for canadian opportunities

Bushwacker was a world class bull and a member of the confederate army. Sounds perfect

If the tool has an indentifying characteristics it could be helpful. Paint the tip and call it the copperhead? Snake maybe applicable.. long, dangerous part is the 'toe' or head.. can fuck shit up..

From a marketing perspective there is a way to do this.

Find 10 people? (or more) to write down 10 words in 1 or 2 minutes. (Most will suck, that's fine)

Make everyone swap with someone else which 5 they think are the best.


Do it again, and then you have it narrowed down and can discuss, I guess this was for slogans but I don't see why it wouldn't work for this.

Usually one of the words that you quickly just thought of will be one of the best ones.


I remember this image https://i.gyazo.com/a2ec0127d4f873c894965e085fbfd492.jpg

And then the slogan we ended up picking was "Now sold in cans"

Only one thing comes to mind when you say limit breaker. "Ultra Instinct Goku" lol.

on a serious note at my work place we had a vibration tool that I will call the "Agitator" (competitor to NOV Agitator) but to market our harder hitting tool we just added Mega and XD for the newer harder hitting tool.

I asked marketing if we could have vibrators to hand out with the MEGA and XD tool name across the side :rofl:

The answer is "EDGE"

Edge of what? The wellbore to formation. Edge of greatness. Edge of insanity. EDGE past the competition.

I've been doing some work on this today between honking at other vehicles, and came up with a name, logo and slogan. Let me know what you think. The top corner is torn out because I thought the original slogan was too aggressive, and said cunt twice which I didn't like.

Just do what everyone else in the tool industry does: figure out what beats/eats/is-better-than what ever your direct competitor's name for their tool is and name it that - think Mongoose to Cobra. Not sure who you'd consider your direct competitor so lets say maybe they are company trying to flex with their Alpha Port so you'd do something like Sigma Initiator?

Have you tried using Fiverr? I used it for two of my more recent business ventures. I cheaped out and still found something amazing. I paid 3 different people, $15-$20 each to come up with names for me. None of them were great, but one of the names was an excellent starting point and it led me to the name that worked exceptionally well. Worth a shot, especially since it's so inexpensive.

The Japanese would first call it Turbo, then version 2.0 would be , Super Turbo. Once turbo is used up, then it's Grand, then Super Grand.
