good names

Well-chosen appellations here

Good names are names that suit their purpose well—memorable, appropriate, and fitting for what they identify.

The phrase often appears in discussions of naming children, pets, characters, or products: We're trying to think of good names for the baby.

In business and branding, a good name suggests one that's distinctive and marketable.

The phrase also refers to reputation: to have a good name is to be well-regarded, and to protect one's good name is to guard against damage to that standing.
