Ideas for Project & Code Names
By BankersBall on Mar 4, 2007 in Cube Life, Tools
Suggest if you want to scare your coworkers
- Names of hot coworkers
- Lord of the Ring characters or Tolkien placenames (same goes for Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter)
- Countries people are scared of
- Project Hitler
- Colors (lavender)
- Smurf names (Project Papa Smurf)
Obscure takes on overused categories
- Obsolete greek letters, (i.e. Digamma, Qoppa)
- Associating companies with comparable Sororities/fraternities (Lamda, Lamda, Lamda; Delta Zeta)
- Forget Greek/Roman deities. Krishna anyone?
- European cities spelled backwards (Nodnol, Sirap, Trufknarf — great for healthcare projects)
Other ideas…
- Dinosaurs or other extinct animals (”Project Dodo” should instill confidence)
- Characters from Shakespeare
- Buildings in New York (Beekman; Beresford; Flatiron)
- Schwarzenegger movies (so many good ones to choose from, Terminator, Predator, Commando)
- Painters of acceptably Western and familiar art genres (Impressionist)
Real-life duds
- Project Grand Slam (who hasn’t worked on one of those?)
- Project Home Run
- Project Dirt

i’ve always told my i-banking attorney friend the most idiotic would be to suggest naming the deal after the company it’s about. If it’s M&A of Abbott Labs, suggest calling it Project Abbot Labs. When you get a weird look, say that it’s because no one would ever suspect it would be about Abbott Labs if that’s the code name.
