With #WeirdOneLetterOffBrands, choosing a brand name just got a lot harder
Looks like I need to add another warning to the article I wrote entitled, “5 Tips and 2 Warnings For Choosing Your Small Business Name.”
I was checking trends on Twitter the other day – which, by the way is a good strategy to use when you’re looking for topics to write about – and saw that the Twitterverse was joyfully tweeting around the hashtag #WeirdOneLetterOffBrands.
The humor is in adding one letter, changing one letter, or omitting one letter in order to turn a famous brand into an infamous – and often hilarious – brand. So I guess this gives us another challenge when we’re planning our next startup: Don’t choose a name that’s just one letter away from turning your business into a punchline.
In order to have a few laughs together, I grabbed some to share with you here. I’ve tried to keep these family friendly, but if you don’t mind pushing the envelope of taste a little, you should head over to a site like Twazzup and browse some of the entries yourself.
In the meantime, enjoy my samples below!
