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!

No and the reason I say no, is because quite often the clothes made by a famous house brand name are sometimes made in the same sweatshop factory somewhere in deepest China or Injah who make the same sweatshop cheapo clothes we can buy at Primark. Unless you are a fashionista hooked on fashion, what's the point in wearing something with the name PRADA on it? The only purpose is to show that such as person has more money than sense. There was a time when it was vulgar to show labels, now it seems everyone must show a label. Not me pal - I know a rip off when I see one. In my local 99pence shop, I can get three pairs of throw away socks for that price. In Primark you can get six for a couple of quid, same price really. But you go into M&S they want £4 or £5 for the same throw away junk. Take my advice and to Hell with up market labels - just not worth it. What puzzles me most is why kids, esp of the working class, hoot and holler at each other about the label on their clothes or the type of trainers they are wearing. Listen up - trainers are bad for your feet. If a person wants to run, buy the cheapst plimpsoles possible. Why? Because they force the wearer to run on the balls of his/her feet and not on the heal which causes leg muscle and bone damage over time. In fact to be honest, our ancient ancestors ran barefoot and were probably damn sight quicker over the same ground than we are today - a bunch of fat fashionista slobs.
