Success all in the name? - GoFuckYourself.com

Do you think a companies success is partly due to the brand name?

Penthouse
PlayBoy
ButtMan
Seymore Butts
Girls Gone Wild
Monster
Yahoo
Nike

I cant think of any household name brands where I think to myself "that name sucks, how did they ever become so big".

I thinks it's more on the quality of the product and service they offered.

I think it's the time we live in also.

15 years ago people would have cracked up over names like Yahoo and Google.

Yes, it's "all in the name"

All you have to do is choose a good name and then sit back and collect hundreds of millions (sometimes billions) of dollars. It's really that easy!!!

Then surely you also really that's all it takes? As long as the name's not so stupid it can't be remembered it can be branded with skill and money.
