Don't Give Your Dog a Dumb Name. (A Cautionary Tail/Tale).

While walking in the park yesterday, I heard a man shouting for "Trouser" while chasing after an unleashed pooch. 

Wouldn't you run?

Naming--whether a car, a prescription medicine, a lipstick or a restaurant--is critically important to how the product is percevied in the market.  The right name can mean the difference between failure and success.

As a writer, I am often asked to help name a product or service.  More often, I am asked to ignore a bad name.  Unlike Trouser, I can't actually run away. 

Incidentally, Carlos is a good name for a dog.
