Also ask yourself:

Can spell it out to somebdy over the phone without resorting to phonetic alphabet?

Do you use numbers in the name - worse do you use them to be cute ?

Do you mix words that sound like letters eg. "see" and "c" in the name ?

Does the name contain a joke/pun/double meaning that only makes sense written down or read outloud?

I rest my case ;)

Good advice otherwise though, another one is make sure that the people in the major markets can pronounce the word in an unambiguous way.
