NattyCat Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I love the name I'm using for my business, but I think I need to change it. I want to own the .com AND the .co.uk but the .com is already owned by a company selling perfume. the .org is owned but yet another company selling perfume, as well as a few candles. I own the .co.uk version but I don't think it's enough, as searches on yahoo won't return my one first.please note, i'm deliberately not stating the name I use now so that it doesn't influence your ideas.I need a new name for my business. I do not in any way want a prim, country, or rustic type name as I am very much a minimalist contemporary fan and that's how my website is laid out and also how my labels are style.Preferably, I'd like one word - perhaps two, but not the word "candle" as I have candles, soap, bath and body products in my range. My slogan is "hand-crafted products for you and your home" I love words like arcadia (which means heaven) elysian, scent, bliss etc and am also a fan of funky names like "purple turtle" and "blue kangaroo" - but these are all gone.Pretty much every thing I come up with is already taken...so I would really appreciate a brain-storming session on a new business name and website name.Thanks oodles!!!Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Why not use Arcadia Scents...it says that is available in .com, .net, .biz,.org,.us. not sure if it is available in the other format though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Everything I thought of was taken already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandelion garden Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Bedelia Blue (a variant of Bridget, goddess of fire)Virtu (a love of or taste for fine objects of art)Scintilla (sparkling glittering particles)EDITED to say oops, just saw the last 2 are taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 How about Arcadia Bliss....Crud, Blue Arcadia is already taken...how about another color, lol. Elysian Blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 If I was going with a funky name.. I'd definately pick Polkadot Porcupine! hehehe. Or Periwinkle Porcupine. Long words, I know, but too cool! Yes, I'm weird like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I like Arcadia Scents but also Scents of Arcadia.. it sound more mistery to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyCat Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 just registered the following...now I need to choose!aromiusaromatticaaromantascentifiqueI'm leaning towards scentifique myself...but hubby and dad like aromius, mum likes aromattica, sister likes aromanta. You can tell, I have a family that never agrees. What do you think?I like the scents of arcadia and bedelia blue, but the only thing the family did agree on was that it should be one word that had something to do with fragrance/scent/aroma.!!

BrandNewToCandles Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 aromattica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_deb Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Another vote for aromattica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 My vote goes to Scentifique. And Scents of Arcadia do has the word "scents" in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtle_flame Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 How about "Seventh Scent" Seventh is often synonymous to bliss. And when I look Seventh up in the thesaurus I get: celestial throne, cloud nine, empyrean, heaven of heavens, nirvana, throne of God.Sounds blissful to me.

tangerine Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I vote first for Aromattica, second for Aromanta. Somehow Aromius sounds like a gladiator. Subltle Flame, Seventh Scent is a good suggestion for a name, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsglass Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm surprised you regi$tered all 4 dotcom's before you decided on your business name. So I vote you use all 4 of them since you're the only one who can enjoy them now, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyCat Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 having read some of the posts and arguments about idea stealing and stuff, I didn't want a whole thread about choosing my name, and then someone thinks "ooh that's nice" and then goes and registers it out from beneath my nose, that's why I registered all of them first, before I did the list. Its a small price to pay really to get the name you want or may want in the future!On another note, I just registered a fifth one, my favorite so far:Aromia I like that one....when people read it they know it's got something to do with things that smell!

NattyCat Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 thanks all. I went for Scentifique and designed my new logo today.All I have to do now is peel off every single label from my candles, tarts, soaps, bath salts, simmering granules etc etc etc and replace with the new one....I may be some time!!
