Most corporate name changes are the result of mergers and acquisitions. But these tend to be unimaginative.

We should have an easier name to pronounce.

I don't like names that are clever or made-up sounding.

In hotels, every time I make a reservation and they never find my name, they never can pronounce it; it's so long, and sometimes they confuse.

Don't let a lack of big company names on your resume get you down, but also, don't let it feed a Silicon Valley ego. Oftentimes, the best candidates come from startups or smaller companies. It shows they are open to risk and can keep up with the long hours and occasional harsh demands.

I do find it a bit disconcerting when your name becomes a brand.

If you can't pronounce a word correctly, just don't use it.
