Does the name "Lion" sound like "Lyin'" to you?

Lol, with the way people think about internet marketing, alot of people might think it is lying marketing

Maybe having a lion roar after the name has been mentioned, would help to make it clear.

A tagline (which you should have anyway) would remove any ambiguity.

"Lion Marketing, when you want to be king of the jungle."

Hopefully you'll come up with something less cheesy than that, though.

I would go with Tiger, biggest of the big cats. I think Lion is great though and it all depends on how it looks. With a big Lion roaring or whatever, no one would ever think of lying. Maybe, if Tony Blair was involved somehow then I couldn't think of anything else.

Thanks

Funny, Dan. I think of Obama in the same way. Of course, politicians are all lyin' on a regular basis. Interesting how most of them were/are lawyers (liars?). There should be a law against attorneys and multi-millionaires running for office.

The problem I have with Tiger, is its association with the golfer. He tarnished that word, esp with using it for marketing.

Thanks

When I read your question I immediately thought you should just call it "Roaring Lion Marketing"

it's got a nice sound to it, and takes away the ambiguity.

radio ads will be used

I wouldn't use it for radio ads. It doesn't work.

Big Cat Marketing might not sound as elegant - but it's memorable and won't make people wonder "WHAT did he say?".

Of course "lion" and "lyin" sound exactly the same. If you have to use a sound or trick to make a name recognizable - you have the wrong name.

Yes, it does sound like Lyin to me. I am not sure how good of an idea to use that "lion" name in your marketing.

Maybe if you add a lion's voice in the audio, that may help.

Does it have to be lion? Maybe you could find something else instead or maybe it would be fine either way what ever name you use.

Seems to be half and half from replies I'm getting here and another place. So it has some validity I guess.

You can use the same name as another company, just not in your own state, in same type of business. Except for national trademarks like Microsoft, 3M, Macy's, etc. Right? Anyone know different?

Why not go with...........

Wild Lion Marketing ............ Lol.. Wild Lying sounds hilarious in itself

I agree with Tiger, considering the Tiger is a physically greater specimen... it strikes harder and can move faster .

Another way to do it might be to figure out alternative names for Lions.......... That is its common name.
