business-name-fitlisted

Help a founder pick or vet a business, startup, or product name that stays true to their cultural origin while working well in the markets they want to sell into. Use whenever someone is naming a company, brand, or product and cares about how it lands across languages and regions — for example a name that sounds right at home but might read oddly to English speakers, or an authentic name they want to check before committing. Trigger this for any request about choosing a business name, checking if a name "works" abroad, spotting bad meanings in other languages, or making a name sound trustworthy in a specific market — even if the person doesn't say the word "skill".

# Business Name Fit Help founders choose or check a business/brand/product name that is authentic to their origin **and** lands well in the market where they'll operate. The core value is catching the mismatch between the two: a name can be perfectly good in its home language yet confusing, funny, or off-putting elsewhere. Examples: - The Persian name "Anali" is fine in Iran but reads oddly to English speakers. - The Swedish word "framåt" ("forward") can sound like "frame" to an English ear. This skill both **suggests new names** and **checks names the person already has**. ## Step 1 — Gather the essentials Ask only for what's missing from the conversation. Keep it to a couple of short questions. 1. **Origin** — the founder's culture/language or the company's home base (e.g. Persian/Iran, Swedish/Sweden, Mandarin/China). 2. **Target market(s)** — where the business will operate (e.g. international/English-speaking, EU, China, Arabic-speaking countries). There can be more than one. 3. **Business area** — the industry or field, because tone matters (a law firm and a candy brand need different feels). 4. **Mode** — do they want new name ideas, a check of names they already have, or both? 5. **Existing names** — if they're checking, collect the candidates. 6. **Desired feel** (optional) — modern, traditional, playful, premium, etc. ## Step 2 — Run the fit checks (the heart of the skill) Run every candidate name through these checks, once per target market: - **Meaning**
