Q: What’s in a name ?
A: An extra 15% margin
The fourth in line to the throne Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte (Elizabeth Diana ) of
Cambridge was introduced to the world from Kensington Palace on the afternoon
of the public holiday Monday 4th May 2015.
Unlike the 'name calling' that has been exchanged between
the protagonists during the UK general election with only 2 days to go people have enjoyed the happy news of the announcement of Princess Charlotte. Yet her name is already receiving abbreviations such as Lottie , Charlie etc.
Naming is an action ownership. By assigning a name to something or somebody we make a claim. The princess has been given names that draw on family and royal legacy. Charlotte was the name of King George III's wife, Elizabeth is the name of her great grandmother and Diana -Prince William's late mother.
Even before the princess was born people were betting on her name. Pizza Hut were offering a free pizza if your name was Charlotte. Whatever the future holds for her she is likely to become a role model , an icon etc. The popularity of the name of Charlotte will increase as future parents think of names for their own little princesses ! No doubt copy children's clothes will follow in the baby wear shops pretty soon.
So it is with Commercial naming whether corporate branding or Product / Service branding.
