Deciding on a business name.

[Bukka]

I'm not looking to jump into the "biz" for another few months, but I'm wondering how some of you came up with your business names.
I know some just use their first and last names, but what about those of us with unusual last names?
Mine is Halfkenny, and I can't find any way to spin that into something nice sounding :lol:, and obviously I wouldn't use "Bukka" for anything professional.

Anyone willing to provide some insight?

I think, for a photographer, first and last name + photography works the best. Some were fortunate enough with distinctive first names like Yervant, Bambi, Monte so their busines could go by their first name only.

If the last name doesn't sound good... well, in my case I created a nickname - Slava Slavik.

Being in wedding photography, I don't know a distinguished wedding photographer with "generic" business name like Super Memories, etc. Oh, there is one exception - a California based studio Image Is Found.
