i read an article about this cream, the ceo of the company made
some very disturbing comments about how its such a random
name, and they use it simply because it looks good, if they come
up with random names just because it looks good, i am not really
so sure how good the product itself maybe, it sounds like a scam
to me.
Would you reject a product for the following reasons:
#1 The first letter of the name is the same as the first letter of
the inventor's mother's maiden name.
#2 He put the same letter at the end because two is better than one.
#3 He put the letters in the middle there because they didn't mean
anything.
#4 He also made the letters so they were very hard to
misprononounce.
If so, you wouldn't like... KODAK.
Meaningless but evocative, distinctivesounding names existed long
before Cingular and Verizon and Lipitor.
It's pretty much what everybody wants in marketing.
In fact, the FDA requires that all new drugs have a name that doesn't
sound like an old drug.... and in some cases (Reminyl became
Razadyne), they've actually changed the name to help avoid errors.
