Business name contest

[Former_Member]

Hello, everyone. I am trying to rename my business here on Etsy, I did not really choose the name for it the first time. I had a "SoleDesign" in mind, as in "unified design", "one design", and the name was not available. It is not an easy task to come up with something witty.. or catchy. or just relevant) English is not my native language, that makes things more difficult. And also the fact that I do polymer clay jewelry, decorations and photo restoration all on the same online store. I do not have money for big-time branding agency, so I thought I'd create a contest, and the winner will get one of my creations, I was thinking, this brooch -

Or a custom order.

So I guess what I am asking, is it something I could do here? If not, where could I create the page for it, to find participants. I do not have many friends on my Facebook page.. If anyone has ideas and would write to me, i'd appreciate this very much. Thank you.

Don't settle until you find a name you really love and want to stick with!!! Good luck!!!

Thank you, Object Apparel, I will) I do not know if anyone here will be interested in the contest, the prize is not that big) Although it is pretty. I do like the idea, so if there will be at least 10 participants here i will send a surprise gift to someone I choose, even if I will not settle on the proposed name) Just as a thank you) As to the poppy brooch, the offer still stands, if I rename my store with the name I choose from here)

Generally I don't like shop names with Design in them, because it's such a general word that it almost doesn't mean anything, so it's just there.

I like the Soul/Sole play on words.

You might get better luck from a promo team or a giveaway team or something. You could run a give away on someone's blog maybe?

You might try
SoleSoul
OrnamentalSoul
PolymerSoul

or something like that

If you're also interested in owning the domain name to match your Etsy shop name, be sure it's available before you fall in love with a new shop name. Also, if you're interested in having a domain name, seriously consider including words which describe what you're selling as part of the domain name.

How about sole vision or sole inspirations? Didn't check about availability. Use the thesaurus for more ideas.

Thank you, everyone! I did not check the thread for couple of days, I was getting frustrated with this naming ordeal, so i choose the name from a few options my friend presented. And the website name was available too. Since I decided to divide my shop in two(one for photomanipulations and the other for clay creations), I registered my new shop on Etsy, here it is. Nothing filled out yet, but I think I like the name). This one will be for polymer clay

I think that is better this way, to divide the shop.
I like few names that you guys gave, and I even checked and found out that ImaginationStation is not available, someone already occupied that station.. Oh, too bad, could of renamed the other shop.

I also like SoleSoul, but maybe not for the name of the shop. If Matthew and Sara from ananemone could give me their address, I'd like to send them something)

I had no idea that I am so flowery and autemny!) It was obvious , and I did not think about something like AutemnFlower) Its good to have feedback) Thank you for all the help and the ideas. And of course, come visit my flowers anytime)

HI IRENE,
YOU MAKE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.
LOTS OF LUCk WITH YOUR SHOPS.
I LIKE YOUR NEW NAME.

[KiltedWoman]

It is odd there are no shops named a ImaginationStation but the name is still unavailable. Anyone know why this is?

[ByTheBayBeads]

Imagination Station is a series of books also. :)

[Former_Member]

Thank you, Diane, for the kind words. I kinda like it too) Love the idea of repurposing things, in your store)

Hi, Lory, Imaginationstation is a shop on Etsy, here is the link:

They did not do much with it. In my search of a name I saw few stores with a catchy names, all the owners did is claim the space, and then abandon. Now we cannot use UniqueBoutique, for example.
