  1. Intel [`ıntel] – Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore initially incorporated their company as N M Electronics. Someone suggested Moore Noyce Electronics but it sounded too close to “more noise”.

  1. Kodak [`kəudæk] / [`koudæk] – both the Kodak camera and the name were the invention of founder George Eastman.

It had the merits of a trademark word, would not be mispronounced and the name did not resemble anything in the art. There is a misconception that the name was chosen because of its similarity to the sound produced by the shutter of the camera.
