When brainstorming a name for a digital productivity consulting biz I'm starting with @quinnrobertson1, I thought that a crowdsourced list of brand names would be helpful and interesting.
So I collected 100+ brand names from the interwebs (mostly from Rewind & Capture) and came up with this list of names, their categories and origin stories. It was fun to make my first product :)
I would love to hear from you on how to make this more useful: currently thinking of adding stuff from Crunchbase and/or Clearbit, a search bar and more filters.
I made this w/o code using Paperform v2, Zapier, Airtable, Notion 2.0 and Table 2 Site . Major s/o to @poehah for being amazingly helpful and responsive.
Any future plans to dive into the logos as well? My first thought is seeing Acura and hearing that the 'A' resembles/references the parent company's 'H'.
@jahmaal_garnette Oh yeah that's interesting. I was thinking of including a timeline for name changes. I think a timeline for logo changes could be neat as well!

@robertandrews Thanks Rob! There is some fantastic content over at Makerpad by @bentossell. I'm also planning to put out a digital productivity/workflow blog soon 👀
