Naming Workshop for a Product Feature

Interview first Has example

Name a feature so users understand it.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Run a naming workshop for a product feature. Start by interviewing me one question at a time: (1) what the feature does in plain words, (2) who uses it and what they call it today, (3) where the name will appear (menu, button, marketing, API), (4) the existing naming system and tone, (5) constraints (length, languages, trademarks, translation), (6) names I have already rejected and why.

Context: [PRODUCT_AND_FEATURE_CONTEXT].

After the interview, generate 30 candidate names in five groups: descriptive (says what it does), functional metaphors, short invented words, verb-led names, and names that continue my naming pattern. For each: the name, the rationale in one line, a risk (confusing, long, hard to pronounce, trademark-sensitive, awkward in another language).

Then score the top ten with a table: Clarity | Memorability | Fit with existing names | Searchability | Ease of translation | Domain or handle availability to check (do not claim availability) | Total. Finish with a five-person test: ask what each name means before explaining it, recommend a finalist, and give instructions to check trademarks and existing uses before committing [VERIFY]. Descriptive names beat clever ones when the feature is critical.

Verify every fact, figure and claim in the output against your own records or the official documentation, and have a qualified professional check anything with legal, safety or financial consequences before you rely on or publish it.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Candidates (excerpt)
Descriptive: Saved Searches (clear, plain); Quick Filters.
Metaphor: Bookmarks for data; Shortlist.
Short invented: Filtr (risk: looks like a typo).
Verb-led: Keep Search.
Pattern-fitting: since existing names are "My Reports", "My Alerts": My Searches.
Scorecard (1-5) for top three: Saved Searches: clarity 5, memorability 3, fit 4, searchability 3, translation 5, total 20. My Searches: 4,3,5,3,4 = 19.
Test: show five users the name without explanation and ask what it does. Recommend Saved Searches; check trademarks and existing uses [VERIFY]. Descriptive beats clever for a critical feature.
