Ok guys, this is the thing. Me and a close friend of mine are working on making a company, perhaps more of a Graphics Design/Web developing type firm. We have many ideas on how to build the site and how to go on with the marketing, however, theres a big thing missing : the company name.
We've been brainstorming for a while now and though we've gotten awesome ideas, they're all taken. We're trying to go for a anti-cliche type name if you know what i mean. No too typical.
What i'd like to ask you guys is if you could lend me a helping hand, gimme some fresh new ideas, not necessarely a name, but words that I might use in that name or simply ideas..
If you're wondering what kinda words, well, let your imagination roar. We have gotten roughly around 300 words down but we still need more, i think we went for quantity more than for quality which is a step back, but we're still thinking about it. These are a couple of words we got : fluid, insight, dream, idea, vision, iris, elysium etc..
We got much much more but its just to let u know that when u start off, there is no bad ideas. So anyway, sorry for taking up so much space, i hope you guys have the patience to read this an gimme a hand, it would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Practical tip: One of the things you should keep in mind is that you'll want to be on-line.
Whatever name you come up with, run it by checkdomain.com to make sure no one else has thought of it and is using it on the WWW. If its a really successful business, you'll want to tarde amrk it. The US, Australian, New Zealand and Spanish registries all have on-line facilities to check and make sure no-one else has trade-marked your name in those jurisdictions. Should give you an idea anyway.
Good luck with it! |

ummm
halo?
zephyr?
Think of the etymolgy.
Maxim magazine came up with the idea for their name because when the maxim machine gun was introduced it wiped out the competition.
Think of what you want the name to say, and then find the word.
