# Product Naming
Create names from a clear product strategy, then test them as real identifiers.

`product-management`; naming cannot repair unclear positioning.
3. Choose two to four relevant name territories. Load [Name generation](references/name-generation.md)
for territories, sound, form, and anti-patterns.

Include different structures and explain the intended association in one
sentence each.
5. Apply the fast filter: relevance, distinctiveness, pronunciation, spelling,
memorability, unwanted meaning, category confusion, and team constraints.
6. Research only the surviving candidates. Load [Screening and verification](references/screening-and-verification.md)
for current domain, search, language, trademark, and handle checks.
7. Score evidence transparently and retain three to six finali
