Company name ideas

[big_man]

A friend of mine is setting up a company and needs a good name.

Does anyone know of a website that generates names or something similar, we just need a few ideas to get us started.

[CarZee]

Care to tell u what the company's product/service/angle will be?

I'm sure there are a few creative PHers that'd be glad to help - The rest of us will pitch in with ideas based on innuendo and nob gaggery in general

[raceboy]

Might be an idea to let us know what the company is going to be doing

Remember there are a few lightly used (soiled) names up for grabs....Consignia, Monday, Anderson.....

[adeewuff]

Try that... although some of the names suggested seem a bit dememnted.

Whatever you do, don't pick a name that someone else has used. That would look quite bad

Given that a company I part own has a potential trademark infringement issue drifting around it like an albatross, and my other business creates brand and corporate identities, I'd quite like to have a chat with your mate. Get him to email me, if he's interested.

From experience a company with 'R' Us in the title will run into problems with Toys R Us. Toys R Us are known to check company names and then threaten legal proceedings, they want to try and protect the 'R Us' name even thought the company may be in a totally different field. May not be worth the aggrivation even though they have no real grounds. They may have stopped this now as this was about 4 years ago.

I'm sure you're right - I only proposed it 'tongue in cheek' as t'wer to get some ideas flowing, although BigMan immediately discounted "unserious" names. I thought the idea was to encourage free-thinking / free-association in such exercises That'll be another boring, undistinctive, forgetable, grey name on the way then!

Serious suggestion?

Creative Castle Ltd.

Norfolk and Chance Investments Ltd already exists. Bet they have a lot of customers. Obviously set up as a joke as they used to be called Wigoder Antiques Ltd.
