name for business.. please help..

[Christel_B]

Since I started taking pictures in 2003 I have just used CB Photography. There is already a CB Photography.. and they own the domain name...

My middle name is Rei (pronouced Ray).. I thought Rei Photography

Does that have a ring to it?

Last name is Browning.. not sure if I really like that for a name.. I dunno though.. I am not creative at all when it comes to names..

Not sure about the "Rei Photography". Too many people, including me, would have a tough time spelling that. I do like Browning...but I kind of like guns anyway!

How about "I'm that girl with that camera"? J/K...now help here.

Why not CRBrowning Photography?

I'm a backpacker/hiker, (at least I used to be) and the first thing I thought was REI (http://www.rei.com/)!

What kind of photography business do you have?

[Christel_B]

I do portraits, landscape/nature, hope to get into weddings.. pretty much everything.. I like to get natural smiles.. I do not like to pose..

This is half-serious... Shooting Browning Photography.

[Christel_B]

lol my hubby would love that, he is a Browning gun fan too ;)

How does C. Browning Photography sound?

CRB Photography?

I think with CRBrowning Photography could be too much.. but I really am lost..

[Hikin Mike]

Why not just "Browning Photography"?

EDIT: My wife would love to have a B.A.R. :D

I like CRB Photography and Browning Photography.

Only a quarter serious with this, perhaps, cheezy one - Rei of light

No? Oh well, nevermind. :confused:

LOL. You could even have the song play on your website. ;) Of course, the royalties could kill you.

(totally kidding on the music-I really dislike sites with music on them.)

For a photographer, I would alway go with FirstName LastName Photography. Let's make it easier for our clients to decode who we are. I really like Christel Browning Photography. Sounds more confident than all shorter versions. Just my 2 cents...

I am a bit worried about people not being able to spell my first name.. it is kind of a doozy for a lot of people...

I am leaning towards Christel Browning Photography.. or Christel Rei Photography.. I just do not want something that is a total mouthful to say lol.. I dunno, with both first and last name being long.. I guess I am kinda stuck with it!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions of other stuff.. for licensing reasons.. I do not want to go with anything other than my names or initials right now anyways..

I like Christel Rei because it's like Crystal Ray (like a diamond).
Which kind of connects to weddings. Why not just call your business Crystal Ray Photography?

If you want to use your name, I suggest that you also purchase the domains of popular misspellings of your name and have them forward to your main site.

Excellent tip!

That is a very good tip.. I will buy the "crystal" version also!
