Abstract

Relevant branding projects start with a significant name, so the naming process is essential for creating a successful brand. However, not everyone has access to branding experts to guide this naming process. This paper proposes an accessible solution that makes a technical evaluation of brand names, supporting and helping people to decide the best name for their business. For this, our work aims to develop a mobile application that uses machine learning models trained on a database created by naming experts that evaluates many brand names accordingly to ten technical criteria. Thus, we provide a mobile application that makes the machine learning models accessible to the user in a simple way, allowing him/her to make rational decisions based on technical knowledge. Furthermore, we demonstrate the accuracy of our models on predicting the evaluation of the brand names. For the vast majority of the evaluation criteria, our application automatically generated a score matching with the output given by the branding experts within a positive/negative deviation of one point in more than 80% of the cases. Finally, an MVP is developed that already presents satisfactory results.
