Company names
-
A friend of mine wants to start a company, but finding a company name seems impossible :wtf: He makes drawings in (Auto)CAD. All the good names are gone, the slightly lesser names are also gone, some of the boring names are gone too. Some names aren't taken by companies, but by assholes who buy up all good domain names so they can sell them for $$$. The really boring names like "[last name] CAD" remain. He has a common name though, so googling for his last name gives you some chemist, a car dealer and a stage builder as well. I've been through this pain a few years ago when I ultimately settled for JUUN Software. Sounds cool (if I say so myself), but juun is just local dialect for onion, which I chose when I went to lunch frustrated, because I couldn't think of a good name, and found an onion in my fridge. Spoiler alert, there are already multiple companies named Onion as well :laugh: The Dutch word for onion is ui (English doesn't have the sound we use to pronounce this, but it's kind of like the "ui" in "guide"), but you can see how UI is a problematic name as well :rolleyes: JUUN is cool because it's a local export product, just like me, and because they say good software is like an onion, built in layers (at least that's what I tell my customers). It also makes you cry, but let's ignore that :laugh: How will the people of the future ever start a new business (or get an email address for that matter)? :omg:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's an Icelandic first name...

It's Aifur, which means "The Ever Violent" and refers to a legendary rapid in the Dnjepr river, where many vikings sailed and rowed on the voyages east. Or so I'm told. I'm personally not very good with neither runes nor old swedish.

I faced that issue a couple years back when starting my own LLC. It really depends on what the goal of the company is. There is no one size fits all. * Does he intend to stay a single member or single owner and only do consulting or contract work? If so, keep it simple. Something like First Name Last Name Services LLC (e.g.; John Doe Services, LLC) is good enough. It has the added bonus of making sure your clients remember your name. * Does he intend to grow and add more people as members/owners and/or employees? If so, using a domain name generator with keywords that describe his type of business. A good one to use is Impossibility[^]. If the domain is free chances are the company name is free too for your local area. And don't forget, it's not about what you think is cool. It's about what your customers think is cool. If the two align, great. If not... customers come first.

That's exactly why I didn't put my name in the company name, I want my customers to have the idea I'm not just one person (and I hope I won't be in the future).

Yes, and no. I think selling your business is a lot easier when it's your business, not when it's the business your customers want it to be. I can really talk proudly of JUUN Software because it's completely my name and my company :D Of course, if there's a huge discrepancy between what you like and what your customers want, for example having a middle finger as a logo, you'll have to find some middle ground (well, you don't have to, but that would make it easier to get customers). Besides, you can't really think for your customers. Maybe they'll love the idea of getting the finger :D
