Yaz
Okay, so it sounds similar to "Yes" and is only 3 letters long, but that's all the positives there are to this name. It's got a terrible commerical too, with people singing a cover of "We're Not Gonna Take It", what were they thinking? That's gotta backfire... It also sounds too flashy ("razzle-dazzle") for a freakin' birth control pill.

Never heard of it too. But if they will have a good advertisement and will market their product well, I guess the name would be OK.
I have never heard of Yaz either! It is a bizarre name for a pill!
Yup,never heard of it..is it really for health purposes or what..? :)
yaz>?? what it is>? why dont use YES>? simple and easy to understand rite>
I think YAZ is a good idea since yes have been used by another company
Never heard of Yaz too. What is it?
Never heard the word "Yaz" but i do like to use "yup" which mean "Yes"...lol
Yaz is a birth control pill?? Ouch! That is a very bad name huh? And what is with their song selection? What is that supposed to mean? I don't get it at all.
I luckily have not been subjected to this. It sounds terrible!
Sounds kindly freaky for a pill lol. ok but surely is unique, it stands out right ?
Birth control ? LOL Sounds more like a Japanese saying yes lol
The name sounds ok to me. Sure is an eye catcher
YAZ ? hmmm Sounds like a NONO to me lol
YAZ sounds great to me. Say YAS to this products seems to be the message lol
Yaz is a great product! The name sounds nice and fresh...
Maybe we shouldn't judge a product by its package might be what they are thrying to say ;-)
Well sounds a little strange. But why not.
Let's hope the pills are working as it should.. Who knows the incapability of branding and marketing, also spans over the pill's production quality and pill effectivity research…
what's their official website ? yaz.com or yaz-us.com ?
YAZ sounds good as far as I am concerned. Also not available in my country. Wish it was ;-)
Yaz...LOL stupid name.When I saw the commercial I was like,OMG Yaz?Where do they get such stupid names for medicines?
The name sounds great to me. Say YES because now you are using YAZ lol...
Just say "yaz" baby. Sounds kind of like a catchy pickup line 2 me. lol
I find the name quite energetic and fresh. Yaz sounds like yes and yes to me.
SOunds like an exercise or something to me. Like Yazzercize.
Yes the name does sound a little strange considering the product but sounds ok to me..
ha ha ha
Hahaha, you got a point. It may work better like "Stopped"
LOL Sounds more like a Japanese saying yes
Personally I do not even understand why they advertise birth control pills. I am not going to just decide I need them and then go to my doctor and ask for that specific name.
just a cool way to advertise the pill ..
Why do they advertise birth control? This is something I listen to my doctor regarding.
Think it's a shortened version of Yasmin no?
that,s great to know about YAZ.
sounds like a new slang for a street drug. "hey man, want some yaz?" not the best name, i agree.
I heard it's more expensive than other brands of BCPs.
I love the name YAZ. I think it's catchy AND it's the name of an old band. Maybe they'll get some hits from that too!
Humm..sounds funny would like to see their commercial.
I have never heard of Yaz, but to me it conjures images of a hyper motivated fitness instructor with bad hair :-). Thanks for the post.
Never heard this product before, really it's getting popular because of this post looking at the number of comments you are getting.
Amazing. This Can't be true

All that Yaz and all that Jazz and still not a great business name that doesn't conjure up any images of a tangible product.
Well i don't think it will be the same any more.
Yo man when are you going to do a new post? All that Yaz is getting old and not just because its a rubbish brand name. Please post soon.
at first glance, the name kinda seemed ok to me... but then i got to the middle part of your post... 'we're not gonna take it', razzle dazzle and birth control pill just don't seem like they go well together, totally ruined it for me...
I think it is more expensive and the name totally turned me away
Yaz: it looked bad a month ago and still hasn't improved. We need you to post again, other wise this blog is fading.....
Well, I never heard of it..is it really for health purposes or for something else...?
Is this already a registered trademark of someone ?
YAZ sounds great to me. Say YAS to this products seems to be the message lol

Yaz huh very awkward.WAs looking for some content cheap web hosting. found your blog, nice to read it.I just want to learn more and more so that i will be able to build dedicated server for study.
It would be great to see you update your blog again. I think that Yaz is a very strange brandname. Infact my brand Krakow apartments seems very normal in comparision
When I saw the commercial I was like,OMG Yaz?Where do they get such stupid names for medicines?
I guess the name would be OK.
Their commercials are so irritating. Women wandering around at a nightclub while one, who happens to be a doctor, gives a fully FDA approved rundown of the possible side effects. She must be a blast when she's drunk.

I seen a few commercials about YAZ. Pretty lame if you ask me.
I never about yaz but it seems funny
it seems unique. the commercial/advertisement is funny.
There was a pop star in the UK called Yaz in the 90s. Weirdly, as one of the other comments suggested, she resembled a hyper motivated fitness instructor with bad hair.

林森北路的日式酒店，聽說早期有600多間，不過不要小看裡頭的提供酒店打工小姐，她們必須集各種才華於一身，不僅要學日文、高爾夫、插花，連茶道也要有概念，「媽媽桑」席耶娜在日式酒店做了15年酒店上班，自稱是日式酒店的末代小姐，來到Podcast節目《沒大沒小の喇吉歐》，告訴你各種日式酒店的秘密。席耶娜表示，日式酒店風光的時期，是在80、90年代，當時的條通，計程車根本不敢開進去，而且客人是排隊在門口等著進去喝酒。因為日據時代，那邊是日本高官住的地方，戰後美軍也在附近的雙城街開美式酒吧，所以從長安東到南京東，中山北到新生北這一塊都叫「條通」，有600多家日式酒店。加上又是日本經濟起飛的時候，很多日本人在這裡開公司設辦公處，所以出沒的日本人比較多，而服務日本客人的規矩，就需要細緻一點。
所謂「日式酒店酒店應徵」，50%以上的來客都是日本人，跟「台式酒店」較隨興的台灣客不一樣。日本客人重視細節，連廁所都要整理得非常仔細，裡頭不但有漱口水、牙線、香水、擦手毛巾，還必須插鮮花，席耶娜說：「每一個客人上完化妝室，少爺都會進去把洗手台的水漬擦過一次，捲筒式衛生紙前端也一定要尖尖的，連酒店工作小姐自己上完廁所，都要把所有東西整理一次，所以我們進去不是只有脫褲子尿尿，還要巡一下廁所有沒有乾淨？」
日式酒店連裝潢都很特別，譬如入口一定會有二道門，免得那些喝醉的人誤闖進去。當第一道門打開時，酒店內沙發後面的燈就會發亮，讓酒店工作小姐知道第一道門打開了，接著大家一起喊「歡迎」(日文)，隨即小姐們就到第二道門那邊去迎接，而且第二道門是，酒店工作小姐要從裡面推才推得開的門，外面客人是推不進來的。
因此，要是打開第一道門看到的是不認識的客人，她們酒店公關就會小心詢問其目的，所以像《華燈初上》那樣，有一大堆大學生走進去，實際在日式酒店是不可能發生的，因為會在第一道門口就被擋掉了。另外，客人入座之後也有一定的SOP流程：客人進來幫他換好拖鞋，接過他的包包和外套掛起來，冬天給熱毛巾、夏天給冰毛巾，每一家日式酒店甚至都有一台洗衣機，專門洗這些毛巾。而且日式酒店是「公檯制」，台式酒店是「私檯制」。私檯制是像錢櫃那樣有很多小包廂，客人坐進去之後，酒店小姐會排排站讓你選，你點越多小姐、坐的時間越多，買單的金額就越高。但「公檯制」是坐下來算桌面使用費的，也就是「人頭費」，你只要一坐下來就是1200元，酒是另外算，5000元起跳，買單兩個人的話，就是2400+5000元，所以不能不點酒。
席耶娜說：「因此你只要開始喝酒，酒店小姐們就會輪流陪你聊天，如果今天有7個小姐，她們都會輪流坐在你座位5分鐘，所以小姐們的自我介紹必須有趣一點，才能讓客人記住妳。」
「由於大部分的日本客人，都是頂著公司名譽來台灣工作的，所以公司不會派菜鳥出差，都是派有點資歷的人出差到台灣，因此他們不太會為了一個小姐，引起兩國的外交問題，或讓公司知道你在這邊性騷擾小姐之類，搞到警察都來了，那很有可能會丟掉工作，所以喝酒醉打小姐或做不規矩的事情，也比較少發生，日本客來酒店比較是紓壓的。」席耶娜透露，她們跟客人的互動，比較傾向於賣曖昧為主，「我們賣的是一種氛圍，透過酒精讓這些客人覺得，白天有什麼不順心的事，有人站在他們那邊。而賣曖昧又因人而異，像我認識新的客人，可以在30分鐘之內，決定他是戀愛客或朋友客，從眼神和肢體運用，可以看出他有沒有感覺來做分辨。」
因此日式酒店的小姐，跟日本客談戀愛算滿多的，畢竟來的都是日本公司各行各業的菁英，賣曖昧之後，很容易發展出戀情。
