Any Successful Men's Product Should Begin with an "M" or "J"

Sharon Begley of Newsweek has a crazy revelation in an article in Newsweek and then further discussed on her blog here. If you are renaming your company or launching a new product, you better listen up:

"Bizarre as it sounds, studies have documented what scientists call 'name letter preference' since 1985. People are more likely to buy brands that begin with one of their initials, so Tom is more likely to buy a Toyota and Larry to buy a Lexus. Even important choices seem to be shaped by this preference: Mildreds are overrepresented in Milwaukee and Dennises among dentists."

I don't know if I buy into this or not, but if it's true, it's quite bizarre. Marketers be aware that over the last twenty years "M" and "J" initials have been the most popular for males, while "A" and "S" seem to lead the pack for females.
