Me: Call it the Centurion
Company A: Too violent. We’re going to call it “Hartford”
Company B: We have a new kind of machining center, very high
capacity.
Me: Call it Hephaestus
Company B: Too weird. We’ll call it “Golden Lucky”
Company C: We need a new name for our USB flash drive
lineup.
Me: Coeus, Celeritas, or Reposita
Company C: We don’t understand any of those. We’ll call it “DashDrive”
Product Manager of Company D: Karl, we are
developing a system that integrates IoT with vertical farming for better
management and improved crop yield. We need a cool name for this system.
Me: *Sighs* OK…
Product Manager: But here’s the thing. I don’t want a name
that’s some variation of ‘Tech’ or ‘Net’ or ‘Link’ or any of those. They’re all
overused. Can you think of a name that’s a classical reference? Like is there
an ancient god of farming or something?
Me: *tears of happiness streaming down my face* Demeter, Greek goddess of agriculture. The system is called Demeter.
Product Manager: Perfect! Thanks!
Me: *retires*
