Abstract
It is a well-known fact that commercial names play a dramatic role in attracting new audience. The article investigates two trends in contemporary Russian naming: using lexis with ethnocultural semantic components (e.g. exotic vocabulary, precedent phenomena, and national onomastic elements) and applying creative linguistic techniques. The sphere of commercial naming is characterized by increased linguistic creativity determined by pragmatic reasons. Commercial names appear as a result of this extraordinary linguistic creativity.
