7-Eleven
7-Eleven was widely known because of Slurpee that we craved for after a hot day. The name became officially connected to its famous drink to the point that July 7 became Free Slurpee Day. 7-Eleven’s brand name meant something different. It was initially called Tote’m Stores in 1927, but its owners decided to change the name after 20 years. They chose the name because the store was open from 7 am to 11 pm. And while it made, the brand decided to keep its name even though they were now open 24 hours.

Amazon
Jeff Bezos was internationally known for being a tech genius, but the story behind Amazon’s original name proved the smartest people could get it wrong. Jeff Bezos thought of naming the world’s largest online bookstore as Cadabra, coming from the spell Abracadabra. But he realized that there was something wrong with the name when his lawyer thought that the company’s name was Cadaver. That was enough for him to fix the name by changing it to Amazon. The tech genius got the name after the largest river to represent his vast ambitions.
