Name still needed

Customers named my last store. My husband Jim and I made cigar box purses. Jim did the handwork and signed his initials to each purse. No two were alike and each was numbered. Customers just starting calling us JPK for James Paul Karasek. I just added boutique because I carried clothing, jewelry, accessories, home décor and a potpourri of new and vintage treasures.



I’m opening a new store in a century-old, colonial home right next to my Hartville home. I want to get away form the boutique name because men don’t like coming into a boutique. Plus, I want to go with a retro feel. I want to find metal pieces that can be used as shelving and décor. An upscale, retro place.



About 50 people sent names when I asked before. Cute names, but nothing that felt right. I had an easier time naming my children.



I’m stuck! I want a retro feeling name that will attract men and women. I’ll have previously-owned, like new clothing, jewelry and accessories. I’ll also have new items: Burt’s Bees and Watkins products. And, previously owned and new books.



We’re renovating the space now. The store is just the first floor. The previous tenants left it a disaster. We’ve been knocking down walls, getting rid of cat-peed carpet and tearing off old wallpaper. I wish a designer and builder team would adopt the project. It sure would be a great advertisement for them. We have an empty shell now. We have to rip up more flooring and parts of the ceiling before starting on design.



Anyway, I really need help. You’re creative. Would you please help me find a name? Also, if you have suggestions about décor, I welcome those, too. Shoe-string is an overstatement for my budget. If you know other creative people, would you please ask for their opinion?



I want to stay away from anything implying thrift shop. Must be upscale. I have to get a new vendor’s license and file my business paperwork. To do that, I need a name. I really, really need help.

Short version: I read in a book last night written by Christians that secular humanists are going to hell because they don't believe in Jesus, and that their morality is always changing cause its not based on the absolute existence of God, but changes cause science is always changing the view of the world.

So my question is, do Christians really believe this? Do you really try and label me as a non-Christian? Do you really think people who aren't Christians don't have an absolute morality?

I think most Christians are decent people and know this stuff isn't true, but theres a part of our culture that is being given books like this and they believe this stuff without learning about other people.

Were there WMD before Bush was in office? According to Clinton and his staff, there was:

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
