letter of appreciation,
Sophie, thank you for your time and energy on this. one day i will be a wix wizard. Today, is not that day.
One thing I wish I could make work are cute call outs but they are looking too "comic book" and less "vintage toy commercial" - so if you can figure out a way to make 'em cute here is the call out copy. I imagined these in a bubble of sorts? Maybe my paper ones?

What if I told you...
Naming is the most overthought & undersupported part of branding.
I can prove it. Are you:
-
Asking strangers on Threads for ideas?
-
Thinking of doing a “fun little poll” on Instagram to see “what resonates”? (Spoiler: you’ll end up hating all your choices & half your audience)
-
Hoping genius will strike in the shower? Again?
-
Holding off your launch until you have the perfect name? Or worse – launching with a placeholder name you’ll revisit post-luteal phase?
-
Terrified of getting it wrong because you think the name should say everything about the thing?
...mhmmm...
Why waste another minute wondering what to call it
when there’s new technology that will name it for* you?!

Hello! Katie here.
Breaking the 4th wall to introduce myself (as is customary on sales pages) but also to namesplain the Name•O•Matic 2000 (so you understand the strategic thinking it's capable of - because I trained it...)
For the past 8 years, I’ve worked as a copywriter and have built a reputation for words that are just as clever as they are effective. But it wasn’t just my copy that caught attention—it was how I named and positioned my own offers. My names anchored entire concepts. World built. Became verbs. All the marks of a “good” name.
They stood out.
They stuck.
And most importantly, they SOLD.
That’s when I started offering naming & creative direction services. At first, I was only working with personal brands and founders. Then, “pinch me” projects rolled in—like naming a red lipstick (dream achieved!) and a blow dryer for a UK celebrity stylist who – casual flex – has styled both Princess Di’s hair and the Beatles’.
I continued to study the psychology of naming, linguistics, literary devices, origins of words, and one name led to another…
Since opening 26&thensome, I’ve named brands, bands, babies, and beauty products—and that’s just my B-list.
“OMG what do I call it?”
is the most exciting and daunting question an entrepreneur can ask themselves.
I know that sometimes it's too soon to call in a professional.
Maybe you're trying to name a freebie, so paying for a name just doesn't make sense. Maybe you're beta testing an offer before you make it your whole personality. Maybe you're brand new to entrepreneurship and just didn't plan on spending 3-4 figures on 1-4 words...
I get it. There are a LOT of things that need names in business and you're not going to want (or need) me for all of them. You might not even care to trademark a lot of them. Which is why the Name•O•Matic exists.
I took the GPT for a test for a test drive to name a new series, and surprise, surprise - she asked me if I wanted hooks too! Hell yeah!
I'm so excited to launch.
Everything is *chef's kiss*!
REAL Name•O•Matic user, Sheila S.
This tool is the result of everything I've learned over 5 years of naming things professionally...condensed into a GPT you can use right now without booking a call or beefing up your budget.
Wanna hear the story of this baby's name?
I knew this product would sit at the top of my funnel, and/or be someone's first introduction to me. Which meant, the name had to be more “clear.” (Something it's trained to understand!)
I named it (sans AI) using my T is for Time Travel and S is for Satire/Spoof strategy (programmed into it - of course.)
My rationale: back in the golden age of “futuristic” products, the suffix “-o-matic” was very common. This name feels like a “wink” at the future we’re all living in now. It’s self-aware. It’s got gimmick and guts. It works because it’s ridiculous. But it also tells you exactly what you’re getting: an automated name generator that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Name•O•Matic was also a perfect fit with my established vintage vibe, and it lends itself to a comedic, infomercial style sales page.
(And bonus—now I’ve got room to grow as I continue to update and improve it. Version 3000? 4000?)
