The naming of their business could be one of the most important decisions they 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 they choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to the 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!

A professional name would be their initials. Like B&K Cleaning.
That's just the start of it though. They are going to have to have a business license, and a bond or insurance to operate a cleaning service. No one will allow them into their home or business without that. They will have to have verifiable references as well.
They can do a free website at yAhoo geocities. That will take a long time to catch on. They may have to advertise which is an out of pocket expense before they get hired. A real risk.
They may be better off contacting a local established cleaning service, and buying into their business in exchange for use of their references, bond, and established accounts.
While this seems like a simple business to get into, people are scepticale about allowing unknown strangers into thier home without verified credentials.
