Sounds great. Nice name. You should buy the .net and .org versions too before your competitors do.

Has a ring to it, and it is personalized. If you have the domain run with it.

Thanks

Yeah that sounds good to me and like you pointed out, this domain name would let you create a brand/authority for yourself at what you do best.. Eg. David Airey

I think it depends on your marketing strategy. If you ever wanted to do some media like radio/TV or something where people need to type in your domain name then they are probably going to spell it wrong. You could go with it though and then get an easy to remember and spell domain name that forwards to it if need be.

One other thing to consider is if you ever want to sell the business and you have it branded under your personal name it might be an issue.

The EduardMedia is nice, but I'm curious why you did not go with last name "Stinga" ? - it seems easy to brand, etc.

Thanks

Another vote for StingaMedia. Here in the USA, ending words in 'a' rather than 'er' (i.e. "gangsta" for gangster) is hot right now. Also much harder to misspell (do you want people looking for/typing in 'EdwardMedia'?)

Thanks

I have the .com domain for EduardMedia but I'm not sure why I should buy the .net and .org versions? Why would my competitors buy them and what could happen?

Because I'm not English and "Stinga" is how my name would be spelled with English characters. In my native language (Romanian), it would be written as "Stîngă", which is not far from how "Stinga" sounds though. That's why I went with "Eduard", it's pretty much the "Engliesht" thing about my name.

If that would be the only problem, then there's no problem at all

Same as above for StingaMedia, I think "Stinga" sounds weird in English. But talking about EdwardMedia - I can just get that domain and redirect it to my main one.

LE - sh*t, it's not available

Oh well, I guess EduardMedia sounds better than I thought initially, I wasn't really expecting to get such positive results.

Thanks

It's definitely fine, although I agree that your last name would be awesome!

Whichever you choose, as long as you work to make the brand strong you should do great.

I like the name. You may want to run it by a trademark attorney just to be safe.

Spelled with a W, Edward Cenima, is a major brand in the US.

It's probably not a problem, however, as I said, just to be safe...

I'm not really sure - but what could happen wrong? I checked on Google for "Edward Cenima" but I couldn't find anything.

=====

Guys - I really wasn't expecting to get only positive feedback about the name. For some reason I thought it would be bad because it's not general and it revolves around me, so people might get "upset". I was thinking about all sorts of existing names, neither of them revolve around a person's name (GrumoMedia, Epipheo Studios, MyPromoVideos, etc. - even big companies like Universal Studios, Columbia Pictures, etc.). Turns out that my logic was bad, so I'm glad that I asked for feedback about it here on the forum, I was just about to start looking for some more names

Time to get to work then, logo, site, video, etc..

I guess after a few months I'll never even think again if the name is good or not, I'll just go with it. Like Juliet would say, "What's in a name?"

Btw - someone said I should get the .net and .org domains as well. Can anyone please explain why I should do that?

Thanks

Good point on the Stinga twist, Eduard, I see what you mean...your EduardMedia.com should work much better in that respect.

Hi Eduard Stinga,

If you have a popular site that gets a lot of traffic somebody could buy the .org or .net version of your site and take some traffic away from you. Somebody might type in the wrong extension and go to your competitors site instead. If you have the domain already you can just do a redirect and forward them to your .com site.

Thanks

I recommend not putting your name in your production company. In Hollywood, sometimes being a nobody is a good thing because it means you haven't produced anything that sucks.

Would've been nice if you could have inserted the word "video" in your business and domain name. This would give most people an unconscious opinion that you only deal with videos or video production.

I want to throw in one last vote for StingaMedia. I get pumped just thinking about the branding! Quick, off-the-cuff thought for the logo: StingaMedia in a font that makes it look tall and majestic with a badass bee leaning his back into the S, arms crossed, sunglasses. "Got stung by other graphics companies? We'll help you create a Buzzzzzz"

Maybe a little too on the nose, but just a quick thought.

Thanks
