My profession is graphic design, so I feel like I had already a good amount of knowledge regarding branding good practices (which btw you are spot on in your vid). Throughout design school I had to come up with so many fake business names, that I started using a "cheap trick" of looking up the etymology of the word and going for the greek/latin/whatever version, or making a name out of the first syllables/letters. For example, I'd have a Woodworking Shop, then I'd call it "Mater Woodshop" (latin for wood) or "WooSho", etc. So when I had to brand my business, I decided to try the trick on my name. P for my first name, and Antonia for my middle name (which I like more than my first)... resulting in Pantonia. I thought it was super fitting, as it also resembles the word "Pantone", which is SO appropriate for a design/illustration/printing business :p
@@Pantonia that’s really clever and to validate your approach, I did think of Pantone when I saw your name :). This is a smart way to think of a name that will stay meaningful to you over time without actually using your name. Thanks for sharing!
