I found a wee for cheap!

Nintendo Wee


Hmmm, a DVD player named Wee... and it uses the same typeface as "Wii"!

But wait, there's more! For just $25 more, we'll throw in the Weemote:

Weemote


Nothing beats asking for a wee plus extra weemotes for under $100! Bonus: place the wee underneath your wii so you can say you have a wee-wii!

Xnergetically confusing

Xnergy

This name seems poor on two counts: the "X-" prefix is way overused by now, and it also has ambiguous pronunciation.

Take off the "X" and we're left with the dangling "-Nergy". This can be related to that awful NRG ("energy") abbreviation (wow, just spell the letters N-R-G and it sounds like energy! the letters themselves don't stand for anything)

Is it supposed to be pronounced "X - Energy" or just "X Nergy"? To further complicate things, which syllable is stressed?

This name grades itself!

Red F Marketing



That's what you get for naming your company.

Small note: It actually represents Redefining the Future, but how many people will pick up on that?

You've got some renewin' to do

Renew In

(no pic available yet)

This is yet another product in the long line of HeadOn spinoffs (Active On and Prefer On to name a few more). First of all, do we really need ANOTHER spin-off product of Head On? Secondly, the name makes no sense. Renew in what? Thirdly, it's painful to hear the guy on the commercial try too hard to be hip and pronounce it like "renewin'".

Open cutivation?

Cutivate

That's not a spelling error, it's really called Cutivate, not cultivate. It's a medication designed to relieve inflammatory skin conditions. Why it's a pun of "cultivate" is beyond me.

This pun doesn't work too well either:
It's as bad as the "scar zone" name; with "cut" in the name, you certainly don't want to emphasize the spreading of them!

Playing wee?

Moowee


Moowee is a service that lets you watch internet movies on TV. Why would they name it such? It's an obvious play on "movie", using a w sound instead of v, but changing the spelling quite a bit. Also, it lets you play movies on your Wii (!) which doesn't make the name totally useless.

As the Name Awards blog says... this name is cow piss!

Watch your typeface...

Take a look at the magazine cover below:


Its full title is CLM "College Lifestyle Magazine", but running the letters together like that only serves to make the middle look like a certain vowel.


To take this even further, look what the title of their photo section is called:


CLM shots.

Given the target demographic, do you really think that this is purely coincidental?
