In this episode of Naming in the AI Age, Ashley Elliott unpacks how non-alcoholic beverage brands use naming to stand out in a vibe-driven market. She outlines four naming strategies: descriptive (e.g., Hop Water), suggestive (e.g., Recess, Trip), abstract (e.g., Hiyo, De Soi), and unconventional (e.g., Cornbread). While descriptive names offer clarity, Ashley argues that suggestive and abstract names better capture emotion and brand potential in a space where mood often outweighs function.
