    I'm trying to come up with a business name, and wouldn't mind some feedback. I thought of Ordered Software, and it has various merits, but it's very grey. I'm trying to stick along the lines of ordered, as my delivered code is normally very tight, i.e. crystalline, i.e. ordered, but that form limits my domain name, so I'm considering Crystallus. Thoughts on the name?

        I've no better suggestions but it sounds like something you or your short term partner may need to visit a doctor to get some cream for.

          If you have to explain the name to people, it doesn't work. Crystallus doesn't shout "Software" at me.

            After 3 years of membership you should have anticipated the kind of answers you would get here to your question ;) Anyway, you might try to find a name that's somehow related to the functionality of the product(s) you plan to sell.

              That's partly why I asked here, but not only here. :) My thinking has shifted to trying for a one-word name that communicates my general philosophy for the business, rather than 'something solutions', or 'something services'. I want to go a little unconventional, more like the advertising companies name themselves, e.g. BlueMoon, WetPaint, ... Hmm, Dave's advice this morning about explaining the problem is really working.

                  Haha, no, I've decided to be a product and not a brand. Besides, misspelling my own name won't inspire much confidence. :laugh:

                      Fair enough but you may have to spend more on advertising so potential customers will associate that unconventional and possibly unrelated name with your products.

                          Actually the Ordered was to be sub-titled, Making Order from Chaos, in veiled reference to my occult interests in Chaos Magic.

                                How about "Mando"? It's latin meaning "to commit, entrust, order, command" plus it still has the red-blooded man thing going on.

                                    If they put in Ordered Agility though, the chances are very good.

                                      I like the meaning, maybe the word needs time to grow on me a bit.

                                          I'm trying to come up with a business name, and wouldn't mind some feedback. I thought of Ordered Software, and it has various merits, but it's very grey. I'm trying to stick along the lines of ordered, as my delivered code is normally very tight, i.e. crystalline, i.e. ordered, but that form limits my domain name, so I'm considering Crystallus. Thoughts on the name?

                                          In all likelyhood that would get a few hundred erroneous hits from gamers looking for Ph4t L3wt, and you would get some incredible volume of spam (or wannabe fan mail).
