It's for a friend. Her name is Coleen and she is starting an after hours pet sitting, house sitting kind of thing. She needs a good catchy name for the business.
Can you help with a name?

The naming of her business could be one of the most important decisions she makes. 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 she chooses will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to her 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 she likes the best. Once she has that list, she should do as much free research as she can before she delves into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where she 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 TM Express said!!! She needs to think about what's she'll really be doing, and the naming of her company needs to really come from her imagination. TM Express gave some really good sites....check them out!
ps... gave express a thumbs up!
