I am in the process of starting a small business and I didn't realize that there was ways to get help naming my company. I did have a name picked out, then after taking the advice of a friend I did some research on the internet and found a company called pixellogo.com from whom I chose a company logo. However, after choosing the logo I realized that the name I had always dreamed of using just didn't seem to fit anymore. I've been asking friends and family for name suggestions but nothing seems to fit. Now thanks to you, I know where to go to get help. So I just thought it was important to tell you thank you!! Oh, and just in case you’re wondering. I'm starting a photography business in a small town in Montana. So any suggestions or comments you might have would be appreciated!!

We are in Phoenix and the season is beginning pretty soon. We are in desperate need of some help with a business name that tells what we do but something that will jump out. We don't want our name as we want something totally unusual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely Pamela Schweikert Hello,

Since so many people have need of naming services, and few can afford the $10,000 to $15,000 price tag for name development, tag line, logo and domain name, I've created an audio library when you can simply sit back and listen, gleaning nuggets of branding wisdom for absolutely free. These are archived podcasts from my show The Name Game on VoiceAmerica.com They address a variety of needs and issues including "How to name an internet company" and issue around trademarking and branding and positioning and naming strategies. So take a few minutes, prop up your feet and listen in. It's an inexpensive way to get turbo jetted up to speed when it comes to properly naming and positioning your company. http://www.modavox.com/voiceamericacms/Host/RSSFeed_437.XML All the best! Phil Hello name seekers!

I really appreciate it. I have been consulting for nonprofits for the last year, and I would like to be more official, with a name, website, etc. I already own a website with my name, but I'd like a catchy, memorable, unique name instead of using my name. I do a variety of things, which is why I am having trouble picking a name. I help nonprofits with: fundraising, management, and communications. I have also helped with some design work (logos). I don't want to be limited to nonprofits, even though that is my primary constituency. I also would like to do contract lobbying and legal consultation (articles and bylaws, etc) once I graduate from law school. So, because I want to have so much represented under one name, I am having some trouble. I would appreciate any help or advice you have. Thank you! Hello,

Key benefits are safety, health and investment protection. I think the name should have scuba and equipment included or implied. I am starting a business cleaning and repairing scuba equipment.

Basic cleaning and maintenance, nothing real invasive. Idea is to get peoples computers to run more efficiently and faster and to supplemental my current income. I was trying to come up with a catchy name following your rules and I came up with "PC Maids" or "PComputer Maids" with the lowercase letters in the word Computer using a samller text size so the "PC" would still stand out. Do you think I'm headed in the right direction or can you offer some other thoughts? Thanks Steve Hi Phil

One suggestion I would have is to review an article I wrote on how to name your own company. It's has a lot of very specific and practical advice that you can use to evaluate your naming choices. You can find it at http://www.ideamarketers.com/experts/branding_and_naming.cfm Scroll down to the article called "You Name It... The Complete How-To Guide for Naming A Business" That has all the basics in it for developing your own company name. In addition, you'll find a host of other articles I've written about the naming process. Best wishes and happy naming! Hi Robert, Lisa

I wonder if you would critique my choice for a name and make any suggestions that you feel would be helpful to my fledgling business. I would be most appreciative for any help and direction you may offer. I have a package and product line that I would be happy to send to you for your review. Thank you, Robert Bagnall Hi Philip,
