WORDLAB

Free Naming and Branding Consultants and Resources

War of Words: Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times issued a naming challenge today:
We need a name for this war. "Operation Iraqi Freedom" never rolled off the tongue, and "Iraq war" creates confusion with the 1991 war. So send in your entries by mail or e-mail. I'll report the top five suggestions and give those writers Iraqi 250-dinar notes with Saddam's portrait.
Never ones to shirk when a naming gauntlet is laid down or when an opportunity to cause people to re-evaluate what they wished for arises, we submitted these 425 military operation names, culled from the Wordlab database.

You too can enter the NY Times contest by sending your suggestions to: nicholas@nytimes.com
