Really Need Help With A Photography Business Name!

Posted by Anonymous on 10/21/2009 at 5:52 AM ET 250 Points
Ok well I have been trying to find a name for my new photography business for months now and it has now come to a point where it is holding me back from moving on, so I desperately need your help please :)

The problem is I am involved in all kinds of photography, not just one specific genre and I would like to keep it that way, so need a name that doesn't pigeon hole me into one specific genre of photography.

My name is not an option as it is too difficult for people to pronounce/spell! Also I have been warned off using my name anyway and to think of something more original.

Some info:
I love all types of photography and have experience in most
I live in Torbay (the English Riviera) in South Devon, UK.
My favouritae colour is Purple and all its sub-names! - violet etc , I went to uni and got a BA (Hons) in Photomedia,
I enjoy film making as well as photography,
I make jewellery and other craft bits and pieces,
I like anime, animals, dancing, movies etc
I'm 24 years old - so not sure whether you consider that young, old or in the middle! lol
I have considered using names such an imagery, photographic etc it dosn't have to be "blah blah photography" it could be "blah blah Creative/imagery/photographic" etc

I don't know if any of that helps or not! Its not helped me lol but it might help you! Any name I have come up with is either already taken or just not good enough, so I would really really appreciate your help :)

Let me know if there is any other info that may help :) Thank you so much everyone, it really is getting me down now not having a business name, so any help you could give would be amazing.

    Hi Steph !
    What we can said about you (what resume you) that is you are CREATIVE.
    Try this apps for Iphone, https://www.thebrandgenerator.com its a real professional tool to generate (intelligent) brand names.
    For exemple, you put your key concept in the field (CREAT or ART), and after you select which kind of positioning you want to have for your brand . For you, maybe CULTURAL positioning can be OK or TRENDY, or PROXIMITY) . Or try others. (there is 22 positioning in pro version)
    The apps will generate semantic items added to key concept, wich express the positioning you choosed.
    So it's provide you a list of ORIGINAL names, linked with your business et what is the positioning of it.
    This apps is the same as used by the Brand Naming Agencies ! It is developed by a 20 years experienced prof in naming.

    You mention "taken names" - does that mean you're looking for available domain names or names to file a FBN statement (or incorporate, etc.)?
    If you're looking for a domain name, are you looking for a .com or a .uk name?

    I meant domain names yes.

    I would like a .co.uk name firstly, but if it would be possible to get the .com as well that would be a bonus.
