Big Names in Naming: The Felipe Valério Episode

Brazil is not for beginners

I talk to Felipe Valério about:

  • The quirks of naming in Brazil

  • How trust sets the stage for a successful naming relationship

  • The way he uses independent movie titles to generate naming ideas

  • His dream to name a cryptocurrency and take it in a more unexpected direction

And so much more!

Plus we play Guess What We Do Here and Felipe has to guess what yay.com, Humaans, and Threecolts do. He’s all wrong, but his guesses are juuuuuust right.

Felipe is the Brazilian member of We Are Naming, a global network of naming experts (I am the U.S. member), and it was such a pleasure to get to chat with him outside of our normal work together. I hope you enjoy!
