What's the name of your business?

[350D_Noob]

Everyone has a business name. What's yours? I've been trying to figure out what I want to have for a business name, but with all the ones already out there, it's hard to pick one that no one has.

[asysin2leads]

Crestview Photography. We live on Crestview Dr. We're planning on building a new house next year, but the name is generic enough to stay.

[Steve Parr]

For my concert photography, it's OnStage Photography.

For everything else, it's Steve Parr Photography.

Clever, huh?

:lol:

[PhotosGuy]

[dbvirago]

Mine is Brooks Images with my website at brooksimages.com

I started with Brooks Photography, but not only was the domain not available, there are several businesses with that name around the world, plust the Brooks Institute of Photography. If you google brooks images, I come up first.

[cdifoto]

DBA CDI Fotografi.

I was thinking about changing it to DWAC Photo though since it'd be more accurate. :lol:

[MrWills]

It is easier to just use your name, if you pick something else you will need to register it to make it legal. It also makes sure that no one else has it. I just use Shawn Wills Photography / Soul proprietor. You will also need to get State and Fed tax ID numbers.

[ShannonHeat]

Heaton Photography, although I thought long and hard about using my maiden name and calling it Kee Photography, or Kee Images :)

Mesmerizing Moments Photography

[PhotoJourno]

It was an ephiphany. I woke up in the middle of the night, in a haze as if by vision.

Gravina Productions. Pretty riskey, but I do like to live my life in the edge.

[BaliHai]

Moments in Time Studio is the name of our photography studio its a lot easier to remember and pronounce than my last name and the .com was available so thats where we ended up.

[white3designs]

White3Designs, Artistic Photography....Specializing in classic car photography.
I also do a little commercial and portrait photography

[manipula]

Manipula. Suprisingly. ;) Came after asking the guys on my car club/forum, a lot of whom are businessmen with successful businesses, and a chap called Dave Brown owner of several deeply successful websites just came up with it. Agreed I could use it in exchange for a mention in my memoirs when I'm famous. I'm sure having met him at a lot of trackdays helped too. I'm deeply endebted.

Everyone has a business name. What's yours? I've been trying to figure out what I want to have for a business name, but with all the ones already out there, it's hard to pick one that no one has.

The law does not require a totally unique name for every business. You need to do business in the counties in which you offer your services, under a unique name. But nothing says that someone, else five counties away from where you are located, cannot use the same name. And if you use YOUR name, there is nothing at all that prevents you from using your name...you would want to make it somehow distinctive, simply to avoid confusion! So you might be John Jones Creative Arts while another guy in the same community is John Jones Portraiture

[MJPhotos24]

Mike Janes Photography - I tried to think of names, used MJ PHOTOS at first when I wasn't doing much except for friends, but when went as a business just used my name.

[E3_Photo_Studio]

E3 Photography Studio

It's actually E Cubed, but can't type that out. LOL :lol:
My maiden name gave me 3 E's for my initials and when I was in High School my nickname was E Cubed. :) Therefore the obvious name for my business. LOL

[sierra_nova]

Sierra Nova Photographics. It's a business partnership and we wanted something with a bit of ourselves, but not our direct names. We thought of call signs, sierra is good, november is sucky, so we went with nova.

Business names are hard - you (hopefully) get stuck with them a long time!

Cheers,
Naomi

[Tazthecat]

Taz the Cat Creations of course :) . Taz is the name of my cat and I thought it was a catchy name for my business. Obligitory web site can be found in my sig.

[saqib]

Seven Ages Photography - from Shakespeare to cover the seven ages of man. :) Truth be told it was because I was sure people would screw up my name and add in letters (eg saqUib instead of saqib, hasSan instead of hasan).

[stonefence]

Stonefence Photography...............because of the old stone fence that is at the back of my property.

What speciality of photography are you pursuing? Weddings? Portraits/studio? Nature? Sports? Events?

That might make it easier to determine a name you like. It's not easy - I struggled for a name only to not like it that much later on. Now, I'm trying to come up with something I like better and not having much success.

Good luck

My first Studio was in a building that sold Antique furniture "Mountain Memories" When I Started renting the place I kept the sign on the front of the biulding and added Photography.
So the studio name is "Mountain Memories Photography"
Our Wedding site is MMP Weddings and the sports site is Luray Sports.
I wanted to seperate the Wedding photography from the Family portrait thats why I have a seperate site for that. Same with the sports/little league photography.

[kristofor]

My Business is called Enspri.

The idea was something to do with inspired thinking but had to be a bit different so i went for enspire.

My name was so good a jolly collagen company stole it from me before I had enough cash to think about applying for a registered trademark.

However Because i was in first I own, the .com,the .com.au, the .net, the .org, the.ws, and the .info.

I have been specialising in website and multimedia development, however had to put it on hold because it interferred with my studies. Later in the year I will be offering more photography related services, and more visual effects and animation services.

Mine is simple & to the point...I hope ;)
