in terms of how the name sounds to you
en fonction de l'effet qu'il vous fait


Explanation:
... de l'impression qu'il vous donne
... de la réaction qu'il vous procure

L'expression "ça sonne bien" ou "ça sonne mal" est plus large que le plaisir à entendre quelque chose, c'est aussi "j'aime bien, ça me plaît" ou "je n'aime pas, ça me déplait".
