I notice lately that the thing that makes me click on a shop or visit a website the quickest and above anything else is an interesting name... I'm a sucker for an off beat or very creative business name and cant wait to see the products they carry so please post your interesting shop names below so we can all admire your creativity and interesting products which is the second thing that draws me in so please post your most interesting and unique item in your shop below as well.

Looking forward to it..
Thanks

Re: "It's all in the name"

'Catch Me I'm Falling' is one of my favorite pieces
I agree it is all in the name which is why I struggle with my title description, but I am learning. Hopefully people read the bit about the piece and get what I am sharing.

@ Jackie, Nope Ginny is my real full first name. Not short for anything. I love it too because you don't hear of a lot of Ginny's

Re: "It's all in the name"

When I decided to do Etsy, I was walking my dog on the beach and the sunset was an amazing copper color that day and hense the name. I rushed home and Copper Sun Design was created. :-) for my love of nature and all it's creations.
This is what I love to do: https://www.etsy.com/listing/113060050/wide-cuff-bracelet-with-fresh-water

Re: "It's all in the name"

Wow! really great stories, it's so ironic to think how simple sunsets, favorite grandmas, children, husbands, special memories and spur of the moment choices later become such a huge part of our lives. Succeed of fail we will always have the memories of our business ventures and the little things that lead to one of our most important business decisions... choosing our name and creating a brand!

Re: "It's all in the name"

Since White Buffalo Turquoise is rare, I opted to publish this one:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/110625081/white-buffalo-turquoise-necklace-native
FYI - The Turquoise was collected by hand by Sallie Gillis, Navajo of Monument Valley. It's probably unusual that I go to the wilds of the Southwest for natural items to make unusual items like RioSage:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/109119986/sage-herb-small-gift-set-riosage-combo?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_se...
And, I'm supposin' that my shop name is unusual and interesting too.
I suppose ya'all might be the judge of that!

Re: "It's all in the name"

What an interesting thread, love it!
Most of my inspirations come from one of my favorite places to be, my gardens. As for the "Jewels", that is what my husband calls me

One of my favorite pieces to create ~

Re: "It's all in the name"

lol @ Silversmack! I like it too really cool!

@AuraRoses I love the fact that you create items from natural elements and unique places, I once made a wall sconces with real beach sand and seashells that I collected from the beach of course there weren't perfect seashell shape like the ones in the store but the colors were brilliant and it was the piece I had the most doubt about and the one that sold the quickest! Good luck and love your items

Re: "It's all in the name"

I never liked my given name. So I always shortened it to Pat. Most people thought my name was Patricia. It isn't. It's Patsy. I fell in love with designing in patchwork and when I opened my Etsy shop Patsy's Patchwork just seemed to fit.

Re: "It's all in the name"

It took me forever to come up with my shop name. I love it, but I have been told that its a tongue twister and people tend to misspell it. My most unique items:

Re: "It's all in the name"

I love this thread! I've enjoyed reading everyones stories.

The meaning behind my name is for everyone to feel good about themselves. To be confident and believe in themselves. Know their beauty inside and out. Everyone is different and unique in their own way. Embrace it!
When You Look Beautiful, You Feel Amazing!

My favorite items in my shop are...

Re: "It's all in the name"

My shop name isn't too unique since I wanted it to describe the general theme of what I offer. Mostly Asian inspired art. But it is interesting to hear how a lot of other chose their shop names.
I think this wine glass from my shop tells the story. It is a calligraphy painting on a wine glass.

Re: "It's all in the name"

Looking back, I should have given my Etsy shop name more thought because the has nothing to do with my bicycle jewelry.
I do a couple of other design things besides my jewelry and I wanted a neutral sounding name to cover it all when I registered my business with the state.
As far as interesting items, this might be one -they are made with the little springs that are on the axle.

Re: "It's all in the name"

I had to have "Passion" in my name because…well, creativity is my passion!

I LOVE these solid pewter head mounts that I sell. They are amazing and they reflect the unique items I'm committed to selling!

Re: "It's all in the name"

i make sewing patterns for cloth (waldorf) dolls, hence the name dalai mama. i love a good play on words- once i decided on a name, the business just followed. ill share this item since its named after my daughter. (all of my other patterns are named after friends' kids)

Re: "It's all in the name"

Since we re discussing names It gave me an idea and I have been wanting to do a unique treasury so I decided to do a treasury of all my favorite things from shops that begin with the letter "J" (I'm partial to the letter) but here u go if you guys want to check it, led me to some great items very hard to narrow it down.

Re: "It's all in the name"

My shop's name is Mangled Mutt Studios. I sell jewelry but didn't want a name that would restrict me to only selling jewelry in the future. I like the name "BloodMilk" and love their jewelry too.

Here's one of my items:

Re: "It's all in the name"

Love this thread! I am regularly awed by the creativity that abounds here & a great shop name will quickly peak my interest!

Some folks think my shop name is a little too edgy..but when I got to the point in my crafting & jewelry making where that was almost all I thought about, talked about, dreamt about & definitely all I wanted to do, my husband said I must be addicted & it stuck ;o)

Re: "It's all in the name"

I like the dalaimama name because I like to play on words too. My shop name came about after a partner and I parted ways from selling jewelry as Twisted Sisters. Thus I became UNtwistedSister.

Re: "It's all in the name"

I picked "Less B*tching, More Stitching!" (censored occasionally to keep Google happy) because I use needlework to relax when my day job (biomedical research) frustrates me. I have been stitching since I was about 10 years old, and I hope to keep doing it for decades to come!

Here is my favorite listing:

Re: "It's all in the name"

lol, those are some really great one

@mylittleaddition I think it is too edgy at all I think it is cute and doesn't lock you in (and I know the feeling) I once saw this quote that said "my art is my passion, my joy, and my torment" lol that pretty much explains it!
