Across Centuries

Across Centuries sounds like a broad corporate name, the kind often used when a company wants to suggest continuity or reach without saying what it actually does. By our assessment, that makes it memorable in a soft way, but also rather empty on first contact. The obvious drawback is that it tells a reader almost nothing about the real business, so the name has to be carried by everything around it. In practice it reads cleanly on paper and can suit a firm that wants a formal, old-sounding profile. Compared with more specific names, it is less useful as a guide and more useful as a wrapper. It works best when the surrounding context explains the company; alone, it stays mostly atmosphere.
