Name Testing

Choose a name that resonates, not one that backfires.

Name Testing uncovers which candidate names connect best with your audience—boosting recall, relevance, and cultural fit.

What it solves

The wrong name can confuse, offend, or be instantly forgotten. Name Testing de-risks launch decisions by revealing how real consumers interpret, remember, and respond to each option.
