"Kooties, chicken and waffels" or "Kooties Steak house." What about "Kooties bed and breakfast?" Or "Kooties continential breakfast?" Here's one, "Kooties Chicken and biscuits?" Or "Kooties Chicken pot pie so good, make you wanna slap yo momma?"

Hey Kooties,
In a simplistic way, I always thought (as a boy) it was a bad thing to get "Kooties". As a Restaurant Manager, I really don't like the name. There is a better way to use your name (or nickname) in a better way to define your food. How about:
Miss Kooties Chicken and Waffles. (There is a reason your sister warned you about me ! )
The "Miss Kooties" shows a certain Southern refinement, with a down home, no non-sense, stick to your ribs, type of food. The use of Chicken and Waffles, sets you up for a tone that most would expect wondrous Southern food that might include grits, greens and some of the fluffiest biscuits that I would've ever had!
Unless, you plan on specializing in Pot Pies, I wouldn't make that a selling point. Most pot pies are chicken and turkey, and you'll find that most customers will compare you to the Banquet frozen kind. They will decide that they can get the same thing for under $2.00 (It's kind of like expensive restaurants serving Mac-n-Cheese, oh, sure they use 4 different cheeses, but it's still Mac-n-Cheese! for $10.00 !!) If you go out on a limb and try things like andouille and kale, or beef stew pot pies, it might work to your advantage, because customers can't get them anyplace else! Unless you are going to specialize in pot pies, I would only use them as a way to flesh out your menu.
Mostly, I would talk to everyone that I know that has opened a restaurant. Most will not want you to fail! And most importantly: LISTEN! We often don't really listen to a complaint from a troublesome customer (just trying to get something for free!). But every so once in a while, you will hear someone say, This doesn't taste like it used to. LISTEN!
It also a great idea to go to AOL city searches as well as go to google and type in Southern Food, or southern restaurants. Look at the reviews, you will get a free critique of what you SHOULDN'T do in a restaurant. You will read words like "Greasy", "Slow Service", "Barely warm", etc. These are all items that the regular customer won't tell you, but they'll put it on the Web for everyone to see.
Mostly, Good Luck! and Good Eatin!
James

Hmm, not too sure about using the word Kooties, it's cute, but kind of a turn off.

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.
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.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
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!

how about just "kooties'"?
sounds nice and leaves all the text out. you could do a logo for it that transmits info of what you serve if you want to.

There are alot of factors that add up in order to have a succesfull restaurant business, One of those factors is the name ! Pick your restaurants name based on what community you are going serve for. Example you name that you are thinking might be good if you are serving alot of campus and college kids but doesnt sound that interesting for a family or a couple that wants to go out for a romantic dinner! Myselft being a Chef i know that it takes alot of planning and sometimes stress when getting ready to open a restaurant and picking a good name, but hey good luck though !! Sincearly Chef V
