MAI Contest -- Name Those Products !!!

[SantaMufasa]

We all know how talented MAI-ers are at naming things...You've helped Me (SantaMufasa), MiniMufasa, and DeepDiverMom come up with great names for businesses.

Here are two more opportunities to see your suggestions in lights. The company for which I am working has developed two software products that have working titles, but they need catchy, trademarkable names for the two packaged products.

Both products have, as audience and potential customers, professionals in the Healthcare industry: Doctors, Hospitals, Medical Laboratories, Reasearchers, Pharmaceuticals, et cetera.

The software systems, along with their working titles and descriptions are:[ul][li]Biospecimen Tracker -- As the working title implies, this product tracks all aspects of biological specimens: specimen type, specimen source (i.e, contributor/patient identity, location details), specimen characteristics (e.g., quantity, evaluative details, et cetera), dates/times, gathering method(s), medical facility, lab facility, et cetera.

[/li][li]Ontology -- This software product stores the relationships, hierarchies, meanings, and usages of terms relating to the healthcare industry.

Examples of entries in Ontology might be:[/li][ul][li] bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)[/li][li]mad cow disease[/li][li]Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy

[/li][li]Asprin[/li][li]Metformin[/li][li]Glucophage[/li][/ul]

In terms of relationships:[ul][li]the first three entries, above, fall into the general category of "Diseases",[/li][li]the latter three items are categorically "Pharmaceuticals".[/li][li]The first two items are synonyms for one another, while both are types of the third item.[/li][li]"Glucophage" is a brand name pharmaceutical for the generic pharmaceutical, "Metformin"[/li][/ul][/ul]So, those are the rather general product descriptions. Here are the contest rules:[ul][li]You can enter as many times as you want, with as many suggestions per posting as you want.[/li][li]All submissions must appear here by 16:00 Thursday, August 14(U.S. Mountain Daylight Time...GMT+7)[/li][li]SantaMufasa is the sole judge of the final winning entries, but he is open to the opinions of anyone.[/li][li]There will be a 1st Place winner for each of the two products mentioned, above, with possibly Honourable Mentions for other entries.[/li][/ul]Let me know if you have questions or need clarifications.

If they are going to be marketed both separately and together, they should be branded similarly.

My suggestion: Evestigatus (Latin meaning found out, discovered, tracked down)

Biospecimen Tracker: BioEvestigatus or EvestigatusBio

Ontology: OntEvestigatus or EvestigatusOnt

I dunno about these:

TRAC-ME

HOLD-ME

After the whole Windows ME thing, I think the very phrase, "ME" sends chills up many spines.

==> It is very helpful to use Edward's submission model for names:

If you have to be told to which product the name applies, then perhaps there is something lacking in the name.

Wow ! A truckload of excellent suggestions above (including an privately forwarded choice from Tony; I'll post that submission at an appropriate time, btw.)

As with "Number 5" in the movie, "Short Circuit", I need input...So, besides your own suggestion(s), which of the above entries seem most worthy to you?

I can only add this to the discussion: Today I saw the girlfriend of my boss - who is studiying alternative medicine at the moment - wearing a T-Shirt with the caption "Health Angel".

Bye, Olaf.

I googled around a bit. There are few restaurants named Health Kitchen. Only one I found seems to be aware of making a pun of Hell's kitchen. And someone installed wordpress on healthkitchen.org, but didn't add anything since march. What a pitty.

Health kitchen would be a nice name for a restaurant with an audience (or foodience?!) with interest in diabolic diabetic food.

Bye, Olaf.

 

[flapeyre]

Olaf,

Is their street number 666?



Nullum gratuitum prandium.
--Sleipinir214

 

[Stella740pl]

flapeyre,
That's the address for Hell's kitchen.
The Health kitchen is probably across the street, at 777.

 

[flapeyre]

Stella, did you mean 667 (777 would be in the next block, in the US, anyway).

666 - The Number of the Beast.
668 - The Neighbor of the Beast.
667 - Across the Street from the Beast.

[Remou]

665 One digit short of a beast.

 

[Stella740pl]

Stella, did you mean 667 (777 would be in the next block, in the US, anyway

Well, I actually did mean 777 and "next block on the other side of the street", but was too lazy to type it.

On the other hand, not everywhere in the US that rule is enforced that strictly. In some places, you can see actual nearly throughout enumeration, and depending on the type of the buildings on each side of the street, you may find 666 across the street from 777.

I can believe that. I know in some neighborhoods that I've ridden down, the house# will change from say 214 to 512! Things like that. And I've seen it more than once. That's sort of annoying when you're trying to find a certain address, and you're not familiar with that street.

==> the house# will change from say 214 to 512!
That's because the '5' is upside down.

That's why there's Google Maps...
