I need a business name?

Oceanic Crafts

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your product or business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route... I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

It's great that you are into the art of personal branding, which many freelancers seem to forget in their search for the next freelance gig. Your brand should reflect not only your skills, but it must be something that speaks of your individuality. You must:

1. Have a mission/vision

2. Know Your Market

3. Keep Your Brand Name Short and Simple

4. Be Consistent with the Message of Your Brand/Business Name

5. Spread the Word About Your Brand/Business Name

Cornucopia is something generic. You may add a personal touch and add a word to it, something that is special/unique to you.

What about something with the word 'Click' in. This would link your computer-related stuff and the photography eg

Clicks and Pics

Click and Clinch

ClickBoard

Or, to show the breadth of your offerings, what about the old word Panopticon? It means 'a place where everything is on display'.

Or, use your name + Medley or Miscellany.
