How to choose a business name

[Knowledge Quest]

Choosing a business name is one of the most important steps in starting a business. The name you choose will be the first impression customers have of your company, so it’s important to choose wisely.

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a business name:

1. Make sure the name is easy to pronounce and spell. You want potential customers to be able to find your business and talk about it to others.

2. Avoid using inside jokes or puns that only you and your friends will get.

3. Keep it short and simple. The shorter the better – you don’t want your customers forgetting your name.

4. Make sure the name is relevant to your business. You don’t want customers to be confused about what you do.

5. Avoid using too many trendy or “cool” words. The name should be timeless and not date your business.

6. Make sure the domain name is available. You want to be able to have a website that matches your business name.

Once you have a few potential names, try them out on family and friends to get their feedback. The name you choose should be one that you’re comfortable with and that you can see yourself using for years to come.

My internet café before was named " Neverland" I better had used another name like Luckland. It might not suffer bankruptcy.

These are good pointers to having a good business name. I also agree that it should be easily pronounced and remembered at the same time.

There are business names difficult to pronounce but readers just pronounced them the way they understand.

a business name should be short (it shouldn't be unnecessary long)and less ambiguous and it should be catchy just like a barbing saloon somewhere around my place it was named las Vegas, even though I don't know the meaning (I know its French) I still like it. Your pointers are more than enough to choose a business name. I think business name can also be made from your real name, my uncle named his game center MOJ which was an abbreviation of his real name.

I agree. It is best to have short business names.

It is always good to choose a business name that is very simple to understand and it is not owned by anybody to avoid legal suits

You're so right better name your business from a favorite letter or fruit like X Marketing hehehe.

That's really important, some business owners are really over protective about their brand name so copying theirs can cause a huge misunderstanding between both firms.

Yes, that is feasible . I saw one store here named Daisy Store 24/7. There is also Rose Pharnacy.

Really funny when it comes to stealing others brand name, some don't really understand the meaning of that name but since they found it catchy and interesting they felt its good to use for their product while in real sense it will really reduce the real owners reputation in market.

It is also good to use a lucky name from your siblings or number combinations like 642 store. There is 123 store I saw in Auckland.

If the name is catchy, then it's good especially if the business is offline. Some people do use their names and I think it is the best, especially if you plan to have different businesses over time.

I agree. I am using a simple brand name of my online shop, which created early this year.

They are easy names that we cannot just brush off in our minds.

but the thing is that whatever fancy name you want to use it should be very simple and can be easily remembered so that you don't lose customers when you forget your brand name.

 

[Mikky]

You are right @cherry123 there are some brand name that are so easy to forget. There was this brand of energy drink I enjoy the most, the first time I took the drink it was the brand name that caught my attention "super commando" and to be candid I can't forget that.

This is what producers should know, fancy names do attract customers too so they should choose the names wisely
