When the weather’s hot

,

do you enjoy a glass of Brad’s Drin while watching your TV

made by Toyo

Telecommunications Engineering, and surfing the web using a search engine called BacRub? No? Neither

do I.

That’s because all these companies have changed their

names.

simply, Sony. And BacRub is now nown as Google. Though I must admit, the idea of a bac massage does

Joing aside, choosing the right name for your start-up is a serious matter. Thin of the case of a small

Canadian company called Research in Motion, who in 1998 had just developed a high-tech mobile phone

that could send emails.

They were torn between names lie MegaMail and ProMail. Then they sought the help of consulting

firm Leicon, who specialie in brand names. They had other ideas. They brainstormed words connected to

enjoyment and freshness. Someone said.

Leicon’s boss added two

capital letters, and there you have it BlacBerry was born. Since then it has

sold over 33 million handsets to customers around the world. Would it have sold as well if it was called

MegaMail? Who nows?

Recently,

BlacBerry

sales

have

been

overtaen

by

Android

phones

and

Apple’s

iPhone

.

Leicon’s

founder David Place is a big fan of simple brand names lie those Apple chooses the iPhone. They l0o a

household word and by putting one letter in font of it, it ends up being game changing.

So,

for

all

you

企业家

you

allow

time

to

develop

a

catchy

and

memorable name. Thin about what maes your company different.

Maybe you can reflect that in your name.

What about you? What would you call a company if you had one?

I

love

going

out

with

my

mate

Jerry.

People

stare

at

him

with

admiration.

Some

even

as

for

his

signature.

But Jerry isn’t famous

. He just bears a resemblance(

长得像

) to someone who is the actor Daniel

Radcliffe. Yes, Harry Potter himself! And it has a magical effect on people!

I told Jerry he should be a twin model.

That’s what Pauline Bailey did

. She decided to replicate (

模仿

)

Marilyn Monroe’s image after she was told she bore a lienes

s to the star.

Bailey says

“I bought boos and started reading about Marilyn

. I realied we had a similar upbringing, so

I had an affinity(

亲近感

) with her. Then people started saying when I went to places that I looed lie her. I

didn’t realie you could mae a

living out of it.

”

Now the blonde(

金发的

) model gets jobs through a specialied agency. She jumps out of caes, allowing

men to live the fantasy of meeting the late goddess of the silver screen.

But not everybody profits from the looalie business. Iranian actor Mahmoud Basiri claims his lieness

to a famous person cost him eight years of earnings. He happens to be the spitting image of former Iranian

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He was told in 2005 that he

could only wor with the leader’s agreement

.

So

will

Ahmadinejad

ever

give

his

agreement

to

the

actor

to

play

him?

Don’t

hold

your

breath

—

Basiri

specialies in comedy!

But overall, a resemblance to a popular artist is a good thing,

isn’t it? The biggest c

hallenge must be to

eep the illusion going

—

for eample, by gaining or losing weight if they do. However, Pauline Bailey thins

it’s impor

tant to eep a sense of yourself. She says

“I’m very

much an individual person, away from Marilyn.

I thin you could lose yourself very easily being someone else all the time and lose your own identity

”

.

I ased Jerry if he thins impersonating Daniel Radcliffe professionally could go to his head. I worried

that all the adulation(

恭维

) might change him and mae him leave me behind.

“

No way,

”

he said.

“

We do

everything together.
