Naming study · round 1 · June 11, 2026
After Wayfind: one name for the hospital, the practice, the residence, and the kitchen table.
Twenty brainstorming agents worked the problem from twenty different angles. Everything was triaged, the top tier screened against the real world, domains verified, and ten judges — from a 78-year-old patient in Dayton to a seed-stage brand VC — scored the finalists.
596names generated

Round-1 recommendation: Lindholm. Risk-clean, domain open, 9/10 from the CFO — carrying the vårdträd story: the linden “care tree” planted beside the farmhouse to watch over the household. (Revised by round 2 — see the other tab.)
The finalists
Each name is set in a type and palette suggesting where its brand would live. Panel average is the mean of ten judges; the columns split phone-line voices from contract-signing voices. ★ = a judge's personal top-3 pick.

Round 2 ran 100 brainstorm lenses — 70 mining round 1's proven veins (trusted surnames, invented places, hidden care-morphemes), 30 exploring new territory. Every name was deduped against round 1, triaged by agents calibrated to the panel's actual round-1 scores, the top 200 web-screened, 86 survivors domain-checked, and 35 finalists judged by the identical 10-person panel with three round-1 names re-entered as calibration benchmarks.

The new front-runner: Winslow — 7.3, with 7 of 10 judges naming it a top-3 pick. Old English “friend's hill.” It beat benchmark Leland head-to-head in the same field. Note the calibration: this panel scored everything lower (Leland 7.3→6.6), so 7.3 here is a stronger result than 7.3 in round 1. Catch: winslowhealth.com is taken — winslowcare.com and joinwinslow.com are open.

Both rounds on one scale. Because the round-2 panel ran harsher (benchmark Leland dropped 0.7), round-2 scores are shown raw and Leland-normalized (+0.7) for comparison. The normalized column is the fairer cross-round ranking.

Naming study · round 3 · June 12, 2026 · the sniper round
Forty lenses aimed at the bullseye. Nothing beat Winslow.
Round 3 inverted the funnel: 40 lenses targeted exactly what two rounds proved wins (invented-but-believable surnames, the friend root, Spanish-friendly onsets), names were deduped against all 2,528 priors, domains were checked BEFORE the expensive web screens, and the judges scored 24 survivors against Winslow and Leland sitting in the field as benchmarks. The verdict: Winslow re-scored 8.4 with 9 of 10 top-3 votes — the field chased it and nobody caught it.

The verdict after 3,682 names: Winslow. Three rounds, three panels, and it wins every field it enters — this round by two full points. The funnel has converged. Next moves: grab winslowcare.com + joinwinslow.com ($23), take Winslow to USPTO counsel (the flag: Winslow Indian Health Care Center, AZ, geographic), and keep Holloway, Elmore, and Colebrook as the backup bench.
The final leaderboard — all three rounds
Panels drift between rounds (this one ran hot: Winslow 7.3→8.4), so the honest ranking metric is the gap to Winslow measured inside the same panel. No round-3 name came within 1.9 points.
