Nook namer takes credit

Mr. Rex Wilder put out a press release taking credit for naming the Barnes & Noble eReader ‘nook’.

Credit is definitely due because it’s not a name anyone is going to forget. People are jumping at the opportunity to write salacious post titles and throw in ridiculous amounts of innuendo.

Numerous naming companies (didn’t even know they existed) lavish praise on Nook’s name -

BrandFreak.com reports that Danny Altman at the naming firm A Hundred Monkeys calls nook “the top of all e-reader names out there.”

 John Hoeppner, President of Name Quest, calls it a “short, easy-to-spell, one-syllable word that will be memorable to consumers.”

Tom Sepanski, director of naming at Landor Associates, also says nook is a winner: “With nook, it appears B&N is trying to improve on the Kindle blueprint. Both names quickly associate with a love of reading and feel friendly, warm and true to their respective brands.

Friendly, warm, and true – Nook in a nutshell.

This part was quite good -

And it (Nook) does a little piece of magic, too: it transforms a thing into a place. Before you’ve even turned it on, you’ve been transported to your own, personal secret garden of words, stories, and characters.
