Need Name's for Non-Profit Arts Organization?

Question

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone could give me names to name a non-profit organization in Berkeley,CA,currently called YAYA California , my boss wants to change that name though.

The organization is an youth arts group based on the New Orleans YAYA program http://www.yayainc.com/.

We are a California interfaith non-profit organization located in South Berkeley which has developed to empower and transform the lives of homeless and at-risk East Bay youth ages 16-25 through commerical art jobs training, community art making and arts-based organizing for social change.

Description:
We want to fulfill our mission through three program areas: 1)arts furniture painting and commercial arts ventures; 2) community building through public art; 3) liberation art/faith based art for social change.

Please write new name ideas

Thanks,

Jenna

Answer 1

Hi Jenna,
I own a children's arts program and was seeking a new name when incorporating. I found "biz ideas cafe" on quick search a while back and they have a forum with a ton of people that obviously love to be creative. Also try typing some of your description into the "thesaurus" with different single words and see what comes up, I was able to be a bit creative and use things like kidovation, kidspiration, and others. I have a few ideas, but am unsure how you want this name to come across to the youth you are working with. Does your boss want to keep yaya and add on? Do you want it to be kiddish, or more "COOL" for the public eye?

Here are a few names to offer to the pool of ideas. Some may seem silly but everything will help right?

"yatopia". ( I assume "ya" is for 'youth Arts").

"YAKANDO" Tag line "You can do it if you ?????"

Best of luck and if I come up with something amazingly awesome I will try to find you again. Good luck. Sheila P
