The name
Several hundred names later, this one held.
Naming the company took far longer than anyone outside it would believe, and it was, appropriately enough, our own agents that did most of the work. They generated, screened and argued for several hundred candidates. We rejected almost all of them.
A name has to clear three bars at once, and most fall at one of them. It has to mean something, so the story is true rather than decorative. It has to be registrable, which quietly kills the good ones first. And it has to be something you can build on for years without growing out of it.
Emberloom cleared all three. Loom is the weaving frame, and the loom was the first machine in history driven by a program instead of by a hand. Ember is the glow that stays in the room after the fire has gone out and everyone has left. Together they say what we do: weave the threads of a business into a pattern that can be run again, and leave something behind that keeps working when nobody is standing over it.
