Naming is Storytelling, Just Harder - with Scott Milano

The most powerful brands in the world live and die by their names—so why do so many companies treat naming as an afterthought or a quick brainstorm? In this episode, Dan Nestle sits down with branding powerhouse and Tanj founder Scott Milano to dissect the art, science, and impact behind truly great names. From stories behind iconic brands like Nintendo Wii, Sony Bravia, and Ally Bank, to the philosophy of naming as storytelling, Scott reveals why your name is more than a label—it’s the DNA of your business. Get the inside track on how names shape customer perception, unite internal teams, and stand the test of time (even in the age of AI-powered naming tools). Plus, hear about the process behind Tanj’s global successes and why even the most advanced AI can’t replace human creativity when the stakes are high.
