Of course many of the reg pl4tes with similar are horrendous!

I'm considering (just a thought) setting up my own little rowing room - built from scratch, climate controlled etc.

Perhaps space for 10 rowing machines, could offer coaching to tubby old folk like myself (I'm doing a coaching course).

Chat GPT came up with this and I had already bought the domain for peanuts (I have many domains, I get bored easily).



But the letter o is the number zero - the oar styled like a glyph like a zero written that way. It's just vanity really, will have some flags and rowing paraphernalia on the walls, so why not a logo? No one will see this and type it in. Perhaps it will end up a way to book a machine/the room. Anyone by that point will have had it explained.

Although I'm in business, it's where the brains of the forum hide out - this is not a commercial enterprise. Buying the building (teeny industrial unit) as one day developers are likely to come knocking.

Terrible?

I like it, my business name has nothing to do with my work but just followed by ****** Company,
it really comes down to google search results i think.

If you have any expectation at all that it would become commercial I'd say its a bad idea.

I have an "idiosyncratic" spelling as my company name (contract work, so very limited clients and no real outward facing stuff) and it annoys me whenever I have to spell it out on the phone to someone as you can't just say it. Hasn't motivated me to change it yet, but if I was to take on work that involved more customer facing stuff or marketing I'd be doing it under a different name.

Definately. I had a website in early web days with a 0 for a O. Everyone who saw it written down spelled it with the letter.

Is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

Dunno if row.co.uk exists but I think I've just thought of a cool side hustle.

No you haven't.

Yes I have.

All while sitting on a row machine.

It's time for my tablets now.
