Ok, I am stuck trying to come up with a name for my website. I make and design business cards, brochures, etc. I came up with Chameleon Dezigns. That's all so far, but I need something that will catch people! I really want this business to get off it's feet! Please help me with some suggestions. Thanks!

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.
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!

What is your target market and how are you intending on reaching them. With the advent of the computer and laser printers, the printing business is even more competitive then before. It is the first thing businesses will do without or jump ship when someone else comes along and undercuts you. You will also be competing with the big box stores as well.
I am assuming the "design" aspect is what you are pursuing. Again, tough market but if you insist then I would keep it simple, straight forward and to the point. If I have to remember how to spell chameleon or dezigns with a "z" you are going to lose me and some of your potential clientele. At least shorten it to chamdezigns or something to that effect. Lot easier to remember. I think the web address name is less important than the message you are putting out. Again keep it simple and straight forward and you will have a better response.
P.S. Luv the pic!
