The Name Game: Creative and Practical Names for a Building.

Carroll, John M.

Language and Speech, v27 n2 p99-114 Apr-Jun 1984

Considers the results of an analysis of "creative" alternative names for the New York Exposition and Conference Center, which were collected in a newspaper contest. When comparing these results with those of a prior analysis of "practical" computer file names, it appears that the principles governing naming are analogous in both situations. (SL)
