Alliteration creates phonological cohesion that improves recall by 15-25% in studies. Your brand name literally becomes stickier in people's minds.
Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in adjacent or closely connected words. In branding, famous alliterative names include Coca-Cola, Dunkin' Donuts, PayPal, TikTok, Best Buy, Krispy Kreme, and Range Rover. The repeated sound creates a rhythmic, memorable quality.
Alliteration leverages phonological priming — the brain processes repeated sounds faster because it doesn't need to switch phonetic patterns. Studies show alliterative brand names have 15-25% higher recall rates than non-alliterative alternatives. The effect is strongest when both words are short (1-2 syllables each) and the repeated sound is a hard consonant (C, K, P, T).
Alliteration repeats the beginning sound (Coca-Cola, TikTok). Rhyme repeats the ending sound (StubHub, FitBit). Both are powerful memory tools, but alliteration tends to feel more sophisticated and brand-appropriate, while rhyme can sometimes feel childish or sing-songy. Many great brand names use one or both techniques.
