Name!

I am trying to think of a name for my soap and have come up with a few ideas. These are:
Chasing Hearts
By heart
Break Even
Breaking Even
Teenage Dreams
Teenage Kicks

I thought of naming the soap after the place it was set but I wanted to be different and create a different affect by the name to make it more dramatic and imply a different meaning. For example, if I was to call the soap Church Street, I think the name would imply something to do with a Church and even religion. I also thought it sounded to similar to current soaps, such as Coronation Street. However, a name such as Teenage Kicks connotes rebellious teenagers, drama, and stereotypical teenage behavior when the characters may be the opposite. I didn't like the idea so much of naming it after the place and wanted to be different, so it may appeal to the target audience more if it has many connotations.

To decide on a name I produced a questionnaire and asked the target audience which they preferred of the names listed above. This is my questionnaire:


Which of these names do you prefer for a soap? Please Circle.

Chasing Hearts
By Heart
Break Even
Breaking Even
Teenage Dreams
Teenage Kicks

(By heart – connoting that the characters know each other ‘By heart’)


The results showed that Breaking Even was the most popular name for a soap amoung the target audience so that is what I will be calling my soap.
