Hello to all you creative minds! I sell a wide variety of items on line and I need a kind of generic name for my business. Not generic like boring or stupid. The name would not be able to identify the items that I sell. Like, Al Bundy's Shoe Store wouldn't work. I would like to have a name that is interesting, vague, easy to spell, fairly short, (So I can add the dot com) and easy to remember. BTW all you smarties out there that just thought of something silly or stupid to say, please do! You guys crack me up!!!

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!
