LINGUISTIC SCREENING

Before you decide on a name for your product/idea/service/trademark, make sure you obtain a Linguistic Screening for as many languages as possible. What might sound like a cute, lovable name in your language, might be offensive or have a downright obnoxious meaning in another language.

Pristineworks analyses what your proposed name means, and we will let you know if there are any negative connotations. This will greatly reduce any negative effects related to your proposed name/s and will give you enough time to make amends.

Currently we offer Linguistic Screening for the following countries:

   »  Malta
   »  United Kingdom
   »  United States of America

Our Linguistic Screening service includes the following:

An experienced linguist analyses the meaning of the submitted name in his/her mother tongue.

If you need a more in-depth report, we also offer the following:

A comprehensive examination of the name/s submitted in the requested mother tongue. We analyse each name as a whole, as well as dissect it for possible negative meanings/connotations for any of its parts we deem are possibly offensive.

Our final report will contain references to:

All possible problems on:
 

• meaning (does the name already exist?)
• pronunciation (is the proposed name hard to pronounce?)
• connotation (positive and negative)
• usage context (is the name suitable for the goods or services it will be used for?)
  

Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in any of the above services.
