The name is difficult to pronounce, has a weak sense of rhythm, is not conducive to pronunciation, and is not conducive to communication, making it difficult to reach public awareness.

The company name should be auspicious. For example, Jinlilai of Jinlilai Far East Co., Ltd. was originally called Jinlilai.

The company name should consider its universality around the world. For example, when the Coca-Cola Company formulated its Chinese market strategy in the 1920s, it decided to literally translate the company's name CoCa-CoLa. So the translators arranged and combined the Chinese characters with similar pronunciations of the name and used it on the beverage packaging. When these bottled drinks with Chinese characters appeared on the market, very few people paid attention to them. The reason for this is that the original translated Chinese characters literally mean a wax mare or a tadpole biting a wax product. Just imagine, who would want a drink produced by a company with such a name? Therefore, the Coca-Cola Company redesigned its name, and the Chinese characters written on the bottle were changed to "Happy Mouth - Coca-Cola".
