Please help me name new business
1st I apologize for posting non conspiracy - lunatic thread, but...

There are many well educated posters and I'm having trouble coming up with a name for a consumer electronics store that I'm going to open. I will stock LCD & Plasma TVs, Home theater, cameras, camcorder, gaming systems etc.

Family, value & quality are some of the things I want to convey.

I'm stumped1

Thank you in advance for any help.

I'm not sure you have a branded niche there. Hopefully this will not be anywhere near a Fry's or Best Buy, otherwise you'll need a really good reason for someone to pass up those enormous selections and low prices to go your store.

I'd call it "The Zone" (sports which is very family, hitting your potential, achieving something).

I've been thinking the same about trying to carve out a niche.

That'e why I'm here, because I need help.

Thank you The Zone is good. I worry about trademark issues, but I don't think diet plan people would worry about electronics.

Re: Please help me name new business
op, i am in uk and have a business as a interior desginer. for years it was just ticking over but not much more than that. One day i deceided to change the name for i felt that the energies surrounding the name was not helping. i did a lot of re-search and realised that a positive names together with words such as more, high, best,cash, money etc or similar will have a freat impact on the business. I changed the name and used it as my mantra which i repeat everyday during drive to work. since i changed the name my business has gone from $750 a week to $3000 a week and slowly increasing. Coincident? Maybe... but i believe otherwise. So often people think of catchy names or family names but my research shows that the name must reflect positivness and richness. avoid words such as poor, down, stop, away, alone, only, less, discount, or any word with Dis. Best of luck to you.

Re: Please help me name new business
depends on what you plan to do...

expand to a chain?

one local store with maybe a regional appeal?
drive to Doug's save a ton, get 50 free photos w/order

concentrate on games, which is a big market all by itself

so
"Dougmart" for the region

"Doug's" for the games, or something short for the teens

"E" Club, and offer continuing discounts for return shoppers
especially on accessories, batteries, photos, computer printer ink for the photo printers, and the ever popular business supplies for the digital buyers -- you would be surprised how much of your rent will be paid by those shoppers

Re: Please help me name new business
the name of my company was Evergreen. a nice name by itself but after many hours of research i realised that the word ever was a constant word with no energy of change. Evergreen kept the business at a very steady rate with nothing changing. then i searched for the root word for money and i realised that the word COUNT is a root word for anything to do with cash. ie: accountancy, account, counting etc. then i looked for a positive word that would match the word COUNT. i finally deceided on the name "Countmore Desgins". perhaps by itself is not a very exciting company name but its energies are amazing. I also realised that the word Countmore is an old family name that tends to belong to upperclass people etc. As a result my clients have changed from everyday normal falks who just wanted some painting and decorating done to richer falks who want their whole room desgined from start to finish including TV's, Wardrobes, Rugs etc etc. my life has been transformed.
I also use this name "countmore" as my mantra and repeat it on my way to work every single day. Hpe this will help you to choose your name.

I was going to file my dba as Big Dog Electronics, but I decided not to because it sounds too menacing. Like I'm selling out of the back of a truck or something.

A friend of mine said it sounded like I would be wearing grilz on my teeth.lol

Bog Dog was one of the first Motorcycle companies to make an S&S bike that was basicaly a Harley knock off, they don't have a bad rep, but I would think that Big Dog is going to get some association with them no matter what. In the Movie Arrmegedon Bruce Wilis makes a ref to them, says something like the only balck man in Wisconsin riding a Big Dog and that was the big dude Bear, I think his name was, and then cut to helicopters chasing the guy over a rise on the highway. Maybe something only bikers would know, but there are a lot of us.
