SevenClick means…
SevenClick means absolutely nothing.
It’s, like Häagen-Dazs, another invented word to represent a company. But in this case, our goal with the name were so much different from the ice-cream company one.
When I started to think about the enterprise name, five were the characteristics that I was searching.
- A name that means nothing at all.
- A word that everybody can read and say in any language, sounding in the same way.
- A word that sounds cool, fresh, young and passionated over all.
- A word with zero or similar founded items when you search it in Google.
- A related domain with all domain extensions free (.com, .net, .org,…)
Easy? Nothing at all.
After two weeks writing several options on a big notebook, more than 150 bad names, all of my familiy hating me, Google telling me if I was stupid or something else… the inspiration came to me… Well, inspiration really came to my wife
We were having lunch, saying names and more and more names… when she said,… “sevenpin, sevenchic,… sevenclick,… fivepin, sixpuk,…”
In that moment, I quickly stopped her, ran to my laptop, and wrote in Google for my first time “SEVENCLICK”. A word that you can tell in Spanish and English and sounds in the same way, a name that means nothing, a word that sounds cool, fresh, young and passionated… And finally, a word with less than 200 founded items in Google and with all domain extensions free…!
Yes! Yes! Thank you darling! SevenClick! SevenClick!
Wow! It’s young, it’s cool… SevenClick! I like it!
SevenClick! It’s easy, it’s great! It’s the name!
Two minutes later, all the domains were bought… by me, of course!
