One naming pattern that consistently holds up in brandable domains is alliteration.

Well-known examples are everywhere:
  • Coca-Cola
  • PayPal
  • Dunkin’ Donuts
Different industries, different eras, same principle. Repeating the initial sound creates rhythm, memorability, and instant cohesion.
You don’t need to explain the name, the sound already does part of the work.



Alliteration is more than just matching first letters​


In practice, strong alliteration is not only about sharing the same starting letter.

For brandable domains, the two words usually work best when their length and rhythm are similar, creating a balanced structure both visually and phonetically.

Examples:
  • Pink Pace
  • Wall Wolf
  • Sunday Sonnet
  • Sunny Shark
These feel intentional rather than stitched together. They pass the radio test and look natural in logos and domains.



Visual balance matters too​


Exact letter count is not mandatory.

Some letters are visually narrow (i, l), while others are much wider (W, M). Because of this, two words with slightly different character counts can still feel balanced.

Examples:
  • Arrow Action
  • Pearl Park
Even with small length differences, the overall visual footprint stays clean, which matters a lot in branding and domain presentation.



Your turn​

Alliteration isn’t a formula. It’s a sensitivity to sound, rhythm, and visual balance.

If you collect brandable domains, you probably already have a few alliterative names you quietly favor more than others.

Feel free to share your favorites. It’s always interesting to see how different investors apply this pattern.

@accurate
You mean the examples above?
Not all of them 😄 Coca-Cola, PayPal, and Dunkin’ Donuts aren’t mine.
