Name Choice For Magazine


I chose 3 potential names for my magazine they are as follows;

"Garland"
"Rush"
"Typo"

Below is a table of why i chose each name, why each name was good, why each name was bad, and which i chose;

NAME:
Why did I chose this name?
What was good about that name?
What was bad about that name?
Did I chose this name?
Garland
Many Rock performers wear odd clothes like headbands if they have long hair, for this reason many Rock performers wear Garlands, this name obviously bared some resemblance to the topic of the magazine.
The name was synonymous with Rock N Roll and is unusual, so therefore stands out from the rest and makes for a memorable and effective title for a magazine
In order to really understand the name of the magazine, some explanation may be needed in order to shed light on the significance of the title to the magazine, for this reason the title to those who are unfamiliar or have a different level of associability skill to myself would not understand the name of the magazine and therefore not get the benefit of the name
No.
Typo
Has a primitive suggestion about the topic being “Edgy” and “Not neat and tidy” like Rock music is, this made for a clever title association
The name is slang-like so makes for a great demographic effect, as younger 16-30 year olds are likely to recognise the abbreviation and feel instantly attracted to the similarity of the title to modern day society
The title itself mildly applies the magazine may be illiterate, which may discourage potential buyers from purchase as the magazine may come across as “Incorrect” or “Effortless” if the theme of error is the first thing the customer sees.
No.
Rush
Has a naturally stimulating sound and meaning which is attractive the mind
The word is synonymous with the lifestyle of Rockers playing fast-paced music and living fast-paced lives with drugs and sex being intensifiers of life, the name also implies movement, as if the magazine would always be moving along with the latest news and will give the reader the feeling of a “Rush”
I couldn't find many negatives about this name other than the name comes across as a more superior verb which may not fit the rough image of the magazine
Yes.
