    Thanks, but name is too long. Not what I had in mind.

    Hoping for made up word with no meaning attached to it.

    Hootini; (NeigbourHOOd & MarTINI)

    Skean Dhu; (Celtic-Dagger)

    Scrawlitz; Srawler-self evident I hope plus LITZ ...

    The term Litz wire is derived from the German word litzendraht meaning woven wire. Generally defined, it is a wire constructed of individual film insulated wires bunched or braided together in a uniform pattern of twists and length of lay.

    Thanks Karen. Like where you’re going with some of the name ideas.

    I like Eyeseye but domain was taken. Tried same idea with name Bombmob I came up with but it was taken as well.

    Also to mention that it’s important not just how the name flows or sounds but how the word looks visually as well. Especially within the Graffiti culture where every expression is very visual.

    Ex: Eyeseye , Bombmob, Adidas, Nissan.

    Meanings to the Graffiti terms I mentioned. Might help with some more ideas.

    All-City: when a writer bombs all major areas
    Bomb: prolific (graffiti) writing
    Buff: the graffiti removal
    Burner: technically and stylistically well executed wild style graffiti
    Caps: interchangeable spray can nozzles to vary width of spray
    Crew: organized group of writers
    Getting Up: when proliferation of name has led to high visibility * every writer’s goal *
    Hit: the act of writing
    Kill: to bomb (graffiti) excessively
    King: the most accomplished writer in a given category
    Piece: writer’s painting, short for masterpiece
    Steel: any type of train
    Tag: writer’s name and signature
    Throw Up: quickly executed graffiti
    Wild style: complicated construction of interlocking letters
    Writer: practitioner of the art of graffiti

    Thanks again Karen. Your names have helped inspire me.

    Hi Karen,

    Thanks for replying so fast.

    The brand will be based of a website where graffiti writers will post their art on the site which then can be viewed and chosen as selective designs on apparel.

    Brand will also be sold in stores as well.

    Do you still think I could add Art (BombmobArt.com) to a chosen name for the domain. Still keeping the brand name Bombmob?


    Also posting a question tonight for review of my identity statement. You might also be interested in that as well.

    Karen,

    I'm leaning towards the name Bombmob. Regardless of what word is added for a domain Bombmob just seems to work in so many ways.

    Thanks so much Karen. Without your help and inspiration from "eyeseye" I would have never come up with the name Bombmob.

    I will be accepting your response and closing this question.

    Regards
    Bradford
