It is all in the name

Posted in Personal on June 23rd, 2008

People say that “It is all in the name”. You are supposed to name companies based on what they will be doing. There are a few that come to mind that do no such thing. Google, Ebay, and Amazon to name a few.

A google is 1 with 1 million 0s behind it. Google, is a search engine though. If you sit down and thing about it, that could be search results. A google is a number, while Google is a search engine.

Ebay, I don’t even know what an Ebay is. Ebay, maybe for electronic bay. Bay is a small gulf. Ebay is an auction house and ecommerce store front.

Amazon is another company that sells items online. The Amazon is a rain forest and has nothing to do with selling book and other things online.

With this in mind. I have choose LabRat Networks as the name of my consulting company. I’m really hoping that “rat” will not make people think twice about it. There are all kinds of lab rats though. Everyone is a lab rat of life. Lab rat here is referring to geeks. Computer labs, computer geeks, or just lab rats.

What are your thoughts about LabRat Networks. Would you hire a company with that name to come and do computer work for your company? Please let me know your thoughts.
