They say the best brand names are proper nouns; McDonald's, Lipton, Wendy's, Harrah's, Nabisco. Of course, your proper name sounds great until you are embroiled in a personal crisis; Weinstein, Wynn, et. al.

A marketing genius can make a brand explode overnight. The Pet Rock comes to mind. Who would buy a rock? Some marketing guy convinced millions of Americans to adopt a rock as a pet. A fad brand we still think about.

My grandfather used a branding iron to brand his few cows and sheep with a rocking K brand. His last name was Kay. It was a simple brand but I've never seen it mentioned in the annuals of cattle branding. If I keep going I might be able to use the word brand again.

My daughter used a cream on her face aimed at erasing zits. All it did was brand her with a red rash. It took a few doses of antihistamine to bring her back to just oily skin. I can't remember the brand name of the rash cream.

I'm amazed at how many generic brand names there are for established brand names. Soon its just going to all be brand names and the generics are just going to say "Cheese paste in a can."
