"I advocate for my client's customer. I don't advocate for the client when it comes to naming projects purely for the fact that my client is looking at the name candidate and going, Oh, how does this reflect on me?
My concern is always; is it going to make money? Are people going to look at that name and get confused? Are they going to look at it and “get it”?

"It all boils down to memory. In creating an effective name, what you're playing with is memory. You're playing with people's understanding of what they already know in any market for any product. And you use that, you stand on the shoulders of other brands when you develop a name".
