Think you're a cell phone and pop culture master? Test your knowledge on one of my quizzes below, and see if you can identify what names are cell phones and what names are for things like Britney Spears songs, Hitchcock movies, and energy drinks!
Cell Phone Name or Britney Spears Song?
Cell Phone Name or Chewing Gum Brand?
I like my gadgets how I like my gum: fresh and with no bite marks. Seriously, though, it's time for another quiz on the sharp, young cell phone names that have a tendency to sound like something else altogether.
Last time it was Britney Spears songs, and this time, it's the all-American favorite: chewing gum!
Cell Phone Name or Britney Spears Song?
Since naming cell phones became popular, they've become more familiar, but also tread girlier (like ladies' razors), snappier (like energy drinks), and even daring (like Hitchcock films).
They've even become quite provocative; take my latest quiz and see if you can identify which name is that of a cell phone or a Britney Spears tune.

Samsung Cell Phone or Energy Drink?
The trend of naming cell phones something catchy is pretty great — it's so much easier than remembering some crazy combination of letters and numbers.
However, sometimes the cell phone companies get a little out of hand with the clever names, and the nom de plumes don't exactly sound like tech marvels (as is the case with Samsung's toiletry-sounding names and LG's Hitchcockian names).
Today's source of confusion is Samsung again — can you guess which of these are cell phones, and which are the names of energy drinks?
Samsung Cell Phone or Ladies' Razor?
It's not just LG that's out of control with the fancy names; their buddy Samsung is in on the cutesy single names too! No more numbers to name cell phones, people; you need a catchy name to compete in this market.
What are Samsung's names coming dangerously close to?
LG Product Name, or Alfred Hitchcock Film Title?
When I did my last quiz, Cell Phone or Perfume Name?, I think we both noted that the primary offender with their one-word, splashy names is LG.
The electronics company uses these names for their cell phones and other tech products to titillate and appeal to customers. You know who else did that?
Cell Phone or Perfume?
As the Gadgettes pointed out in their NPR interview this week, manufacturers market to ladies one way, by giving their products flashy and recognizable (therefore, girly?) names like "Chocolate" or "enV" instead of something like VX12345.
I feel like this has gotten a little out of control, and now there exist some phones whose names sound more like a cologne you would spritz on your wrist, rather than put up to your ear. Take my quiz and tell me which is the name of a cell phone model, and which is the name of a perfume!
