Companys that choose a name for you

[nikki2010]

Sorry another post from me, I have just seen that you can pay someone to choose a company name for you that is available and make sure there is a domain name available. Is this worth doing or a waste of money? If i would be worth doing is there anybody who can recommend a good company??

Here's a paragraph from a naming website (http://www.igorinternational.com/press/conf-board-brand-building-namers.php )

"As you might guess, the price of conjuring a good name has risen along with the job's complexity and the field's professionalization. "I am guessing the minimum you are going to pay one of these established firms will be approximately $25,000," says Alex Frankel, author of Wordcraft and founder of Quiddity, a naming firm that opened and closed with the dotcoms. "I saw that Zune, Microsoft's version of the iPod -- and notice that I have to use Apple's iPod to even tell you what Zune is -- cost $200,000 to name." Indeed, last November, Dow Jones reported that Lexicon Branding, which named the Zune, as well as the BlackBerry, Intel's Pentium, and GM's OnStar, charges about $150,000 for a name".
