How Google, Apple, And Other Household Brands Came Up With Their Names

Finding a name for a company is sort of like finding a name for a band: all the good ones seem to be taken already.

As you'll see, even some of the biggest tech giants got their names kind of at random, so even if you pick out something that might sound stupid, it might not kill you.
