Business name for promotional items..

I've been sat here for over an hour now and I just can't think of anything good.

I want something that seems 'open' to the public but also not to playful as I want to be taken serious on a business to business level.

The only thing I have so far is 'The Maker' but I don't really like 'The' part and Maker sounds so cold on its own....

    Is the product the promotional items themselves?

    If so, look at the names that are taken already

    Yea I don't even know if promotional items will cover it when I'm done (started small but I have so many ideas to branch it out but I'm swamped with what im doing atm with two kids)

    I will be selling personalized t shirts, pens etc list can be endless to both public and business

    I do have one main item personalized that I am selling atm which I don't want to mention for copy cat reasons but I don't want the name to have that in title anyway as I want to be able to branch out.

    Gah this is driving me mad!!! lol ATM my ebay shop is just my last name.... :/

    Line of thought...something 'Personal' maybe not personal the word but something that would mean that person would be unique? I.e its about making you YOU products? That could be for public and business huh?

    It's really tough coming up with a name that encompasses lots of creativity that is still likely expand.

    The name that did come to my mind was Younique.com but that was taken. Youniquelyspecial.com is available.

    Do you want an actual business name or a domain name or a name that's available as both? Will you get paid online through something like paypal or will people send cheques or both? That could help with your decision. I set up Muffin Tops Enterprises and I buy domains that suit the online presence I require. If I get paid for anything I either ask for it to go to MT Enterprises (which doesn't look odd as it's my name so legitimacy doesn't become an issue) or it can go through an online account where you create that connection between domain and business. I did that so I'm never tied to one area.

    I hope that helps, but if you want me to clarify anything feel free to ask.

    Both I guess. I want a website up eventually although that probably won't be untill March time (I *plan* on making no profit this year, and any profit I do have I will simply spend on stocking up on stock ink and so perhaps a website would be a good idea if I have alot of spare cash)

    Im mainly set up through Ebay atm, but I want to start branching out to businesses pretty soon so it could be cash payment (card/cheque/cash)

    So basically, you've got one business name - but you give each website its own name in a sense but all cash payments go to your business..

    That sounds great as you never know I might branch out again later on, but then again that means I'd have to think up TWO names :D

    JMW or JM or CW or RCW Enterprises would be the initials I'd pick

    I think I've got it...

    What do you guys think of True Colours? That can be printing, and 'showing your true colours' so to speak on promotional items? :D

    That was a good one spacey you really got me thinking about it for abit.
