5 Things you should keep in Mind Before Churning out an App Name!

1. 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND BEFORE CHURNING OUT AN APP NAME! There is a famous saying “What’s in the name?” Everything, if you ask the people who matter. If the character Hulk was portrayed by a man named Tweety, would you ever realize how powerful the man is? Let’s face it, ‘Joker’ in The Dark Knight would have harmed his crazy, intimidating and insane reputation if his name was not ‘Joker’. Those names initially made people take a second look and undoubtedly helped the celebrity in becoming household names. The world of app design is no different. That first impression on someone is sometimes all you have. Does that impression convey how amazing your product is? Is it easy to pronounce? Does it relate to what your app does? All those questions, and many more, are considered in those split-second moments when someone's browsing the App Store or some other marketplace. So why not push these ‘window app shoppers’ over the edge to dive in to download your app by giving it an appealing name? Here are the 5 things you should keep in mind before churning out an app name. 1)KISS( Keep It Short and Simple) Short is sweet and simplicity commands attention. The lesser the syllables, the better and easier to remember the name is. Those names that exceed the word limit might find themselves on the wrong side of most downloaded list. Think of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Quiz up, Paytm, Instappy as examples. 2)Don’t let CAPITALS capitalize Using upper case for the whole name will repel the potential downloaders, rather than doing your app any favors. No one wants to read a text written in all capitals, regardless of how appealing it might look. 3)The Two-Faced name

2. The best app names sometimes use a simple convention of pairing the basic function of the app with a word that enhances it. Think of WhatsApp, Free Charge and Quiz Up as prime examples. 4)Duplicate dilemma So there you are, after hours and hours of deliberation, coming up with a really exciting name and you receive the most common setback when you search Google. The name is already taken! As if app names are your crush, the ones you like are pursued by rest of the world. So, a deep research is required to check plagiarism involving app names. 5)Pronunciation problems It used to be quite a trend to take all the vowels out of a name, but once that trend started to fade, you can see that it usually left people frustrated about how to say something. While you have complete licence to make up new words, be cautious when making words that are hard to pronounce. At the first glance, these newly found words may look appealing, but in the longer run, the name will be a bit tedious to spread. In a sea of apps and icons, it may just be the name that stands out. Don't let it be an afterthought – you've put time in creating your app, so take time to label it correctly. There’s a lot of thought that goes into picking the best name for your app. The ideal name sets the right tone, clarifies the purpose, and makes it easy to rank and market your app. whatever your app name is, it should shout loud enough to rise from the ashes to first page of Google.
