I need a name!

[Juneno]

Hi guys,
I'm looking at building a website but really can't think of a decent name! My hubby and I make candles and decorate horseshoes but I can't think of a decent name that fits these things! Or should I just call it something more general.... I thought it'd be a good idea to reflect what we make in the title but I'm having a complete block - so, help! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
June

[craftyjan]

the only name that pooped in my hea(welcome)d was candleshoe but it doesnt sound right dosnt reflect what you make hello and welcome to the forum hope someone comes up with some more names for you

[Juneno]

Thanks Jan, That's all I could come up with as well!
Wasn't that a Disney-type film with Jodie Foster (how sad it that, that I remember it!)

Hi,

Are you going to be using your own domain name for the website?

In this case, if you can, its best to choose a name that uses one or more of your web sites keywords, seperated by a hyphen.

e.g if you made red widgets, you might be called red-widget.com,

Google loves this sort of thing for its search ratings.

Also, from a general business point of view, its handy if your company name sums up what you do - though of course there are millions of exceptions to this rule!

All the best

Steve

One for the oldies........................My Friend Flicka......................:) See? Horsey and candle..............suit yourselves.:sleep:

[Juneno]

Hi Steve,
Yes, that's my problem! Ideally, it would have to be a domain name that reflects what we're selling but it's hard!
Bad/strange combination of things to try to make up a name for I suppose. I see it as a challenge! I'm sure something will come up soon.
Cheers,
June

I have thought of one don't know how good you think it is:

LuckyWax.co.uk

[Fair Do]

I think Hot2Trot is pretty nifty as well ...

Do a poll ...do a poll!!!:mf:

Fair Do

[Juneno]

These are all brilliant! I like a few of them - now I have too much choice - knew you were all great at this sort of thing, I just couldn't think of anything like these! There is a clip clop horseshoes already so that wouldn't be fair, but the others are wonderful.
Thanks folks!!:D

They are both villagey crafts, erm
Village Crafts/Arts
Cottage Crafts/Arts Eye Candy
Country Crafts/Arts


Or Soft to Hard Crafts/Arts? lol

I do see your predicament, tis a tough one

[nattynetty]

Having just googled it, I'd avoid Hot2Trot like the plague if I were you ;)

Maybe i have a mucky mind but I thought hot2trot had other
connotations...and yep the website of that name is not particularly wholesome - btw don't try that website if there are little ones around unless you're ready for some awkward questions. :p

Ooh er Mrs. I promise I hadn't checked out any websites when I suggested Hot to Trot!! I must have an innocent mind......
:horse: hehe

[rossj]

the MOD EDIT - READ THE RULES Re URLs domain name tool can help you, just type in a work and it will suggest some names, some are silly but it will give you ideas.

[folicin]

:nopity:um...

sorry...had the same trouble myself...

came up with the name of denamadeit! im getting a logo done so hopefully it will be ok...

My name is Dena and I have been making loads of stuff so it just made sense! Everything I put jewellery with everyone else had thought of, even the most obscurest of names!

:horse:how about; luckyhorseshoesbright?

Don't say I didn't warn you! :D If you need a sleaze filter I'm your girl! :D

[Juneno]

Oh dear! And we'd decided on hot to trot as well!:eek:
Maybe anything with hot in it is going to lead to much the same type of site!

Some of the other suggestions are great though so it's back to the drawing board! Thank goodness we hadn't had printed any cards or flyers with it on yet!

Cheers all!! x

[stallfinder]

Thought of a couple more seeing as you've decided against Hot to Trot

Saddlewax candles
Ponywax candles (although people may think you've used the ponies in the production process!)
Palamino Flame
Andalucian Flame
Farrier & Flame or Farrier Candles

At least you didn't find out after you'd started that the name was a bad idea. I remember something about Stuart Hall's International Travel a few years ago!

[janetdc]

Ok let's try again!How about
Kismet Candles
Arabian Lights
Flaming Fortune

It is so difficuilt to find the right name - I haven't even thought of one for myself yet! :D

Ooo! I quite like farrier & flame! I'll run it by hubby but, by jove, I think we've got it!!
How clever are you?! Thanks a zillion!:)

Now I just have to build the website..........:o

[stallfinder]

No problem - glad to be of service! Hope you've checked there's no X-rated farrier sites out there already!

[mack]

:DI think" Hot Wax" is pretty nifty

[Fair Do]

Been off the scene for a few days ...just been reading through these replies ...a real tonic!!!

Well, we got there in the end ...NEXT!
