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!

You want your business name to be both professional AND memorable. You want your business to say what you do and who you are. Obviously, 'Jane's Housekeeping' would do the job, but it's easily forgettable. Think of some similar businesses who have done well: Merry Maids for instance. Also consider that you will need to add the TYPE of business so people know not only WHO you are, but WHAT you do.
Hmmm Lets see.
Hired Housekeeping
Maid On Call
Top-2-Bottom Household Cleaning
Tip Top Cleaning
Don't forget the advantages of naming yourself to be at the top of the Phone Book listings:
AAA Cleaning
AAA Cleaners.
Advantage Cleaning
AAA Advantage Cleaning
Etc. (you get the idea)
