Entry: Hi, my name is Adam Barocas. I'm a creative name specialist, and formerly the director of creative brand development for Brand Institute, the leading naming agency in the US. I'm currently working with a Real Estate marketing and advertising agency and work freelance naming assignments. I have experience in real estate branding and naming, responsible for naming many mixed-used properties in South Florida including "The Essence Residences" in Key Biscayne and "Brickell House" in Mary Brickell Village, among several others. I have access to advanced US trademark screenings and would be happy to work with you on an in depth creative naming strategy. Feel free to email me at adam.barocas@gmail.com if you are interested in working together.

meaning the Royal Guard, as in the Monarchy is standing Guard on both sides of the Apartments and its occupants. It is also a great marketing theme. That the Monarchy actually stands guard over the well-being, safety and serenity of the occupants - which is true - as the Monarchy is generally suppose to look after their people and Country.
Definition of Corona:
co·ro·na (kə-rō'nə) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. co·ro·nas or co·ro·nae (-nē)
ASTRONOMY:
A faintly colored luminous ring appearing to surround a celestial body visible through a haze or thin cloud, especially such a ring around the moon or sun, caused by diffraction of light from suspended matter in the intervening medium. Also called aureole.
The luminous irregular envelope of highly ionized gas outside the chromosphere of the sun.
ARCHITECTURE: The projecting top part of a cornice.
A cigar with a long tapering body and blunt ends.
ANATOMY: The crownlike upper portion of a bodily part or structure, such as the top of the head.
BOTANY: A crown-shaped, funnel-shaped, or trumpet-shaped outgrowth or appendage of the perianth of certain flowers, such as the daffodil or the spider lily. Also called crown.
ELECTRICITY: A faint glow enveloping the high-field electrode in a corona discharge, often accompanied by streamers directed toward the low-field electrode.
Hopefully one of the above work for you and if not, then I hope you will find inspiration from the above.
Best Wishes and Greatest Success,
Entry: Don't name it anything that will lead people to know who actually owns the building. Nothing like Dixon's Refuge or similar.
Use something like "The Tuscany", or name it after a prominent local tree or river or lake....The Whispering Aspen Trust, etc.
Oh, and unless it's 25 apartments or more, don't name it at all, it's tacky.

Thank you all for your entries. A couple of comments regarding suggested names:
1. There is not a wooded area near these apartments.
2. The nearby park name is "Riverfront Park"
3. The river the apartments overlook is called "Willamette River" (this is locally known as a river one would not want to swim in)

If any of the surrounding elements are going to be used in the name we will want to us it in the "at" sense.
Example... something at Pringle Square
The Something at Pringle Creek

You said this is part of a mixed use development. What is the name of that?

Dear Aikiho,
This is the first phase of the development so there are not names for the other phases at this time.
Posted By: HillaryBanks Posted On: 2012-01-09 16:46:00 CONTEST HOLDER
There are a lot of very creative names, thank you all for your suggestions.
If you would like to get a better feel for the proposed project, we made the front page of our local paper this Sunday.
Please note when reading the article, we anticipate the entire site to be called Pringle Square and all phases to be individually named, hence the reason for being on Hatchwise.
