Naming technique that opts to name a brand with the name of an emblematic figure, such as its creator or a celebrity. It is an option that supports potential customer trust, as it dilutes the impersonal nature of the company, but can also be risky in so far as the company's reputation is permanently bound to that of the person who's named is used, and any resulting volatility.
