Quite like this one. Hive crossed my mind, but an association with buzzing would not be a good thing.

There are some Dutch words that are different and distinctive. Like

'Kundig'

Which means capable, experienced, expertise.

NVA Thatcher

We are looking to represent increased productivity...not the closure of half of the country

[savvypaul]

How about something blunt, direct and honest like:

'The Truth'
and
'The Whole Truth'

I think RD might like that.

'The Truth About Hi-Fi' could be an interesting article...

[savvypaul]

I may be atypical. But so far evidence suggests that in general the new names are, at the very least, a talking point.
So, job done maybe...?

I must be a guerrilla marketing guru, by now, surely...?

If NVA is not going to use dealers, then it needs to work ten times as hard to communicate it's values and personality. That's why names are important...

Just a thought but, as NVA presently rely exclusively on word of mouth to publicise the excellence of their products and raise the profile of the brand it seems to me at least partly helpful that the mouths that are expected to do this are comfortable with the words they will be using. On this basis alone it might be sensible to give the matter more thought. The bones of contention - names-wise - appear to be 'Model Worker' with many, I feel, uncomfortable with the political/ideological associations perhaps, or maybe just the slight awkwardness of how they sound. With that in mind how about simply dumping Model and just going with 'Worker'? Still communicates the utilitarian nature of the range whilst avoiding the somewhat 'one out, all out' connotations.

Or has someone already suggested this back on Page 2?

Scrying is the practice of looking into a suitable medium in the hope of detecting significant messages or visions.

Practitioners apply the process until they achieve a satisfactory state of perception in which rich visual images and dramatic stories seem to be projected within the medium itself, or in the minds eye of the scryer.

The medium most commonly used in scrying are reflective, refractive, translucent or luminescent surfaces or objects such as crystals, stones or glass in various stages such as crystal balls, mirrors or REFLECTIVE BLACK SURFACES.

A20= Obsidian. A dark volcanic glass deployed as a medium to detect messages or visions.

A60, A70, A80= Second Sight- the capacity to see things that can't usually be perceived through our five senses.
