Brainstorming: Help to come up with a name.

Hello Warriors,

My name is Valentine Spitsyn I'm launching a business and need to come up with a name and domain.

I'm positioning myself as a freelance web designer who mainly does turn-key projects for small to medium businesses, bloggers and non-profits.

The names I came up so far:

- greatbusinessmedia.com
(quite generic, but available)

- spetzmedia.com
- stinmedia.com
- svalmedia.com
(came up with these by playing around my name)

Most of generic names are already taken even most of abbreviations which are suitable for my case.

Having some really hard times coming with something original and NON TAKEN.

Any Ideas are strongly appreciated.

Thanx in advance,
Your Friendly Valentine.

    how about:

    www.turn-keywebdesign.com

    It should be easy coming up with a logo for that...

    SEO is a factor, so web design in your URL is critical.

    You said you wanted to do turn-key projects, so....

    And it's available... just checked on Godaddy.

    Good luck.

    Thanx guys.

    I like spetzmedia. I was just unsure about how it sounds.

    I'm not a native speaker, so I don't know if it's easy to pronounce.

    Now the question is if you pronounce it to someone, could he spell it right from the first shot?

    Valentine,

    why not a non-usual name?

    tintinmedia.com

    It's catchy, short, reminds of "TinTin" ... the BD..

    Just an idea. I love non-usual and cool branding names.

      Whoa, this is awesome! I used TinTin as my nickname before. Because we use double names in russia. The second name is fathers name, which is also Valentin. So I'm kinda Valentin Valentin .. which is in short Tin-Tin

      Totally dig the idea. Thanx!

    Hi,
    The only problem I see with spetzmedia is people not knowing how to spell or pronounce it.

    What about Valiente Design? Valiente means brave in Spanish
    ValenDesign

    Best of luck!

      I think you are right. BTW "spitz" would be more accurate. According to my family name.

      Damn I love you dude VALIENTE .. it's beautiful .. You just gave me another cool thing to brag about.

      BTW if I change "spetz" to "spitz" would it be easier to pronounce and spell? Because this is very important!

      A name or a brand should be easily remembered, pronounced and spelled .. this way my referals wouldn't feel silly pronouncing it.
