Hi, thank you for sharing this article and providing your paper about lexical blends. As a neologist — I name things — it’s always great to find new sources of ideas, especially those which are highly productive. I use Sketch Engine as a computational corpus to help me find names for products and companies based on the contexts in which relevant words appear. I wrote an article about that here: http://operativewords.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-create-names-using-worlds-most.html

Also, I’ll share an article about the use of real words (as opposed to neologisms) in brand naming. The article touches on observations made by John Algeo regarding the adoption of new words in English:
