They’re all made-up company or product names. Some of them resonate with us. Some don’t. But one thing’s for certain: made-up names are the rage.
Wordoid is a free online service that makes inventing a catchy, made-up name for your business or product a bit easier (not to mention less expensive — brand development companies charge big bucks for inventing names).
- You can create Wordoids in English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
- You can generate Wordoids that sound “natural, “almost natural,” or “hardly natural” in any of those language.
- You can put another word (or sound) somewhere inside your Wordoid, at the beginning of the Wordoid, or at the end of it.
- You can set your Wordoid length limit anywhere between 5 and 15 characters.
Just for fun, I generated some wordoids with “bistro” in them. Some of my faves:
bistroyed (what happens if my business goes belly-up)
cubistro (the space where my employees work)
bistroduce (the act of meeting a new client for the first time)
habajapambistro (the Spanish version)
obistrovoisons (French)
azionibistrollo (Italian)
ersterbistrott (German)
You try it! Share a couple of your Wordoids with us.
