How do other industries name a product? Usually, it’s a series of steps that begins with describing what the name should represent, making a list, generating possible names, checking their background, and presenting the best-suited one, a name that will resonate with buyers. I don’t believe that anyone has bothered to follow this method in assigning names to pipes. To be clear, I do not know if these pipe names are copyrighted, but if they are, then I am just p_____g in the wind.
