What's a good store name?

Question

I'm about to open a store - selling unusual artworks- some considered dark victorian, some anime based, some just unique and a little "dark". I have some ideas for a name, but I'd like to see what you all could come up with.

So spin some past me - what would you call that type of store (besides stupid - for those who think they're witty and were going to give that answer) ?

Answer 1

What I like to do when up against this dilemma is go to http://thesaurus.reference.com and search for the word I want to use. In this case, I think "dark art". So I look up the word "dark" and I get the following words:

aphotic, atramentous, black, blackish, caliginous, clouded, cloudy, crepuscular, darkened, dim, dingy, drab, dull, dun, dusk, duskish, dusky, faint, foggy, gloomy, grimy, ill-lighted, indistinct, inky, lightless, lurid, misty, murky, nebulous, obscure, opaque, overcast, pitch-black, pitch-dark, pitchy, rayless, shaded, shadowy, shady, somber, sooty, stygian, sunless, tenebrous, unlighted, unlit, vague

The only ones I like are darkened and murky. Murky has a negative connotation, so I'm not sure about that. But what about Darkened Art? And the best part? That domain name is available. :)

Answer 2

I'm going to go to 7-11 and get a quarter pound hot dog, which I most definitely shoud not eat. And during that excursion I will consider your question. I hope I come up with some clever names.

Good question. I like businesses with truly clever names. There was one in my area--a florist named "Planted Earth." The owner said that name just dawned on her while she was in the shower. Wonderful.

Edit: While I was out, I was treated to Brahms' 1st piano concerto on NPR. Anyway, these ideas came to mind:

1) Shadows
2) See MInor (no, the concerto is in D minor)

Darn, there was another one I thought of before I left, but I can't remember it. Maybe I will remember and I can add it later.

Answer 3

That Apothic Ostentatious Ornament
