Someone just emailed me the question: Do we need to send one name per email, or can they all be dumped into one email? - I say dump them all into one email, that'll be fine. :)

personally I always wanted to name an agency "sleep" so I could say "I'm going to sleep" when really, I was going to work. ha!

My favorite creative agency names are Secret Weapon Advertising, Mother and Strawberry Frog.

Can the name suggestions be in any language?

Dabitch's picture

Some Latin and French terms have already been suggested. So, why not? ;)

Does this mean they can use the name and not award you ???

AnonymousCoward's picture

No. This means that if we dont like any of the name we don't HAVE to pick a winner.

But. Judging by the ammount of cool and funny names we have recieved. I serously doubt that that will be the case.

You digg??

/K.

Yeah there's some really great (and funny, and funky) names being sent in. I have no doubt that one of them will be on the agency door in he future.

Oddly enough, there's already so much spam being sent to the namegame - *sigh* - those guys don't even wait a second do they? Apparantly the namegame won 0NE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND United States dollars in some lottery already and has a uhm.... challenged penis. Go figure.

I can't believe that GoldenPalace.com hasn't offered to buy the rights of naming the nameless agency yet!
