Answer 1

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 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!

Answer 2

Zephyr Designs

Answer 3

Well, by definition, Cobalt is a metallic element or Cobalt 60 is a radioactive element. While Zephyr means: having to do with light fine things, a gentle breeze, refreshing, the West Wind.

Personally I like them both, in context, I like Zephyr tho.

Also, you have to think of them with the Logo for your company in mind. Good Luck!

Answer 4

I'd go with Cobalt Designs. Zephyr Designs is kind of a random name. Unless you have a reason for it like it's your last name or something.

Answer 5

Cobalt, or Colbalt? Cobalt is the bluish mineral. Colbalt is...what, a name? I don't like either names unless it is Cobalt Designs, (no L) which says to me: STRONG, EARTHLY, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, ETC.
Zephyr? Again, what is that? Is that like a Peruvean whistle or something?


P.S. - What's with the uni-bomber look?

Answer 6

Well first I would look to see if anyone is already using a name as it seems that Cobalt Designs is.

I like how that one sounds, but you are probably best off with something that can be unique to your company. Even if that's just changing "designs" to another word (or two), or throwing another word in the middle, to set it apart.

Answer 7

I would stay away from Zephyr, because a "wind" can be a putrid wind, too - if you get my meaning.

I like Cobalt - blue is cool, fresh, pure.

Answer 8

Architect/Builder here. I have several ideas for programs you might want to look at. Where are you starting this? Maybe we can help each other. Do you have all your equipment?

Answer 9

you must be really young..... if not 18 then in ur early twenties.
they are both overused for architect companies already, didnt u google them? ur blonde.
