Client brief

Thanks everyone for the submissions please keep in mind these ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES - do not use the last consonant of the word to start the second word - focus on the concept of open social network: a name I like is openchef which is taken though - better short than long names (max 10 characters, but ideally 6-8 is best) ------------------ ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Only .com. The product will be a social network for people who love and prepare food for others. Chef will have their own social profiles and people can contact them. It's not a business directory though. Guidelines: - 1 or 2 words - if you go for only 1 word it can be fictional but giving an idea of what the website is about - if you choose 2 words they gotta be real words making sense together - no articles - no prepositions - only nouns verbs and adjectives Emotions to communicate - Food Passion - Sharing - Social - Maybe even web 2.0 The name SHOULD contain the word CHEF, UNLESS you come up with a great alternative. To do that you might use: - kitchen tools (spoon and fork the favorites) - food All this said: if you come up with a great name... whatever :) Just post it and we'll consider it!

Naming tips for Social network for chefs

Keep it pronounceable

A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.

.com still beats clever TLDs

Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.

Avoid trademark traps

Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.

Test it in a sentence

Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
