What's in a buisness name?
 

When you picked the name for your business what goals did you try to achieve? What did you want to express? Is the business name important? Did you follow guidelines when picking the name?

You should write a book of questions.

Thank you. But can you answer any of them?

I picked a name I liked, generic enough to expand into other types of business.

Every name I pick is something I find easy to say and remember but not an every day word. Branding is a real concept and can build loyalty and trust. In this business its trust from both customers and fellow webmasters/site owners that can make and break you. Using a brandable name can help facilitate building trust.

Keyword based names (and yes, I understand your talking about business names not domain names but it still applies) do not have the same professional feel as a brandable name.

Well thats IMHO anyway.

for your first post, its was sure a good one! Thats exactly what I am trying to achieve with this new biz... But im stumped at my choices of names... And its harder cause it is non adult stuff...

yeh, I always thought "Cum in my Eye You Dirty Pic Fucker, Inc." was much easier to come up with too


:winkwink: :thumbsup

think of words your business is about, then thesaurus.com them to find better synonyms for them and make a name

I just got my biz name done and Inc'd.

Midwest-Media Inc.
;)

I just choose a genric publishing name.

nice:thumbsup

I think whenever I am naming something its always the third iteration that I come up with a name I like. Its almost impossible for me to name something right off the bat with a name I like no matter how much time I spend thinking of one originally. I think thats because after some time you get a better sense of what it is that you are doing and you have name ideas that are much more in tune with the actual image of your product, company, whatever.

may i suggest such names as:

Give Us Your Money Now Inc.

We'll You Off Inc.

Broken Design Raft Inc.

my business name was given to me by the government,

123456789 Ontario Inc.

i think its kinda katchy...

Just something that sounds good, professional and relates to your business, goals and objectives.
