Corporate ID Help
My partner and I are having a terrible time coming up with a company name that is also available as a url for our web presence. I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas on a company name that will incorporate the following: - fun
- professionalism
- morals
- quality
- multiple products both consumer and industry based
...each of the above is a must somewhere within our nomenclature.
It's important to keep in mind that some of our products vary in market targeting quite substantially and as such, so does our perspective audience. This name needs to make sense and be professional enough to market not only to the average consumer but to any CEO of a multi-national corporation.
Company Setup: (not yet written in stone)
Corporate ID/Company Name: (need help naming)
This is the top level company and will be what our clients see on our business cards, product branding and website. This company does not hold any equipment, employees, capital, etc. This is a LTD. (Limited) Company.
Holding Company: (already named)
This is where all equipment, employees and capital originate from; everything we do is associated with the Holding Company.
Brand Awareness: (already named)
Each product we manufacture will have a brand name associated with it for ease of support online.
...
The first name we were using was x-tatic but unfortunately, x-tatic.com is already in use as a url https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/regis...ch.asp?ci=9175
Just some insight; x-tatic was my partners idea as it embodies our products and our general mindset on working for ourselves.
Anyone have a good business name stirring in the back of their noggin that you'd like to share?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: Corporate ID Help
What kind of products? Even if they are varied, the types are relevant.
X-tatic is simple and catchy but doesn't sound professional or high quality to me - but I may not be representative of any of your target auidences

Re: Corporate ID Help
Some more info would be welcome.
A name like x-tatic would be fine for for example selling sexually stimulating toys or snowboards, but selling washingpowder under the same name would already cause me to question your integrity
What are the names you already have btw?

Re: Corporate ID Help
How about :
TheFutureIsNow.com
FutureProducts.com
Don't know why I am stuck on a future theme. I don't think I would make it as an advertising person! If I can think of anymore that are at least exciting I will let you know.

Re: Corporate ID Help
many successful companies have a simple name, doesn't mean you have to keep the name small but i think perhaps just a last or somethin ...
I wouldn't over think this to much if I was you....
Duke Inc. (heh) i dunno

Re: Corporate ID Help
I was thinking that maybe you could use your names some how or your initials or something like that as well. Make your initials into an acronym. Since you products vary and are for multiple audiences that might be best.

x-tatic was meant to be a combination of a play on words such as: - x- as in "product x" simply because we have a number of potential products that are extremely varied.
- ecstatic (the way we feel now that we're working for ourselves)

Sadly, x-tatic was the only name we could come up with so far. We'd like our name to reflect a positive emotion if possible yet sound professional.
...not sure if this is possible.

From a legal standpoint, it is never a good idea to incorporate you name, initials, nicknames, etc., in your business title as you run the risk of being sued personally should your product hurt someone.
We may use something to the effect of K & M (Ken and Mike) or D @ T (Duke and Tandino) for the holding companies but we'll only know whether or not this is a good idea after speaking to a lawyer.

Re: Corporate ID Help
Not really but I appreciate your enthusiasm
I think maybe I need to come up with a few examples to help guide this name on it's way, catch 22 is that I have no examples to share which was the original reason for this thread.
