Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

I believe in the Keep It Simple process- go through Yellow Pages in the areas around your area. This will give you an idea of what these businesses are called. Plus it will also help you with an idea of how many companies are doing what you are doing- and if you were to advertise how will your name compare. I also believe a business name should say what you do- Cake Bakery tells people you make cakes. Don't pick a name that someone can jump in and add their name (like Joe's Cake Bakery) in front...and also try to be a little different. Use a Thesaurus to come up with these names- write down words that describe what your business is - adjectives, adverbs and nouns. Try them out on friends and family. One will pop out out of all of this.

Answer 4

Diners and family restaurants may let you put them in there. I used to waitress in a BBQ/Steakhouse type of restaurant and we had them. Laundromats. Dollar stores possibly. You could just visit businesses door to door and ask all of them. You might be surprised how many will let you do it especially if it's for charity. The worse they can do is say no, but some will say yes. Good luck!

The Elephant's Trunk. Try to get into new pizza/game places, Showbiz, Chucky Cheese, etc...
