    I'll be honest I wouldn't bother with any of those, sorry.


    Either go for an acronym, or something like


    SJS-Vynil / SJS-Graphics

    But do spell it Vinyl!
  • Take a step back. Imagine you are a customer. You need to be thinking of a name that will work for them. It also has to tell them what they need to know about your company.
    Try answering these questions before making a decision -

    Do you want to be seen as traditional/dependable/solid?
    Do you want to be seen as fresh/dynamic/modern?
    Fun/quirky/cutting edge?
    Are you a local company, serving local people, or do you have ambitions to become national/international?
    What group will you appeal to? Young and poor? Young and ambitious? Young and rich? Middle-aged? Parents? Elderly? Second homes? Rentals?
    What do other businesses in the same line of work call themselves, and which names appeal to you - and why?
    If people were using Google to search for the thing you do, what would they input?

    Those questions should prompt some ideas. It also has to be something that is easy to spell, so that people don't get it wrong when they're emailing/looking for your web page. And then it has to be a name that's available!! (Google all of your ideas to see what comes up).

    I wouldn't bother with any name that includes your own name/initials - unless you're internationally renowned at what you do, no-one's going to care what your name is. It can be useful to include your area (but can be limiting if you want to start trading further afield).

    All the best!!

    haha thanks, one of those words I don't use, ever :)
  • Be careful with the name that you don't get stuck with a specific market i.e. Furniture.

    Your product may be able to meet need of none furniture suppliers with the need for 'stickers'.
    Debt is a symptom, solve the problem.
  • Thanks, its where i get stuck. I have tried answering some of the questions. So I want something short (maybe 2 syllables) and shows its easy to use and fun and unique. thanks for your help so far

    Do you want to be seen as traditional/dependable/solid? Fun, changeable and speedy

    Do you want to be seen as fresh/dynamic/modern?
    Fun/quirky/cutting edge? Transformative

    Are you a local company, serving local people, or do you have ambitions to become national/international? International

    What group will you appeal to? Young and poor? Young and ambitious? Young and rich? Middle-aged? Parents? Elderly? Second homes? Rentals? People who live in cities and dont have space for a dolls house car garage toys etc. and also those with kitchen cabinets that are old and want to make them spruced up, wood grain vinyl stickers


    What do other businesses in the same line of work call themselves, and which names appeal to you - and why? Limmaland, stikkipix, a little pop of colour, Mykea and panyl. Mykea and panyl because they are short and memorable

    If people were using Google to search for the thing you do, what would they input? Furniture stickers, ikea hacks, kallax, customised furniture, design hacks
