[First off, a little background info:]
I am a student working towards a degree in Biology (or likely Fisheries and Wildlife) and would like eventually to do something in the realm of naturalist/wildlife biologist. Moreover, I love photography and would like to include it in what I do, or at least as something I do on the side.

So I'm looking to start building a business/identity to perhaps start by selling greeting cards and prints, but am having difficulty coming up with a name. I have considered using my name (as in [First-name Last-name] Photography), but would prefer something a bit more creative and suggestive of nature photography... or in my case as stated above, might it be better to go with my own name?
One idea I rather had in mind at the moment is:
Wonders Unfathomed Photography
What are your impressions on this name? Any other suggestions?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

My impression? I can't even say it let alone spell it!

If you are going to get a website, I might think about using 'Nature' and/or 'Biology' in your URL/name. You'll have better SEO that way.

Thank you for your feedback. That was a slight concern of mine, but I guess I didn't put as much consideration into that as I should've. I have not yet been able to come up with a name that successfully conveys the idea that I want it to but I shall keep trying.

I shall keep that in mind if/when I do get a website. Thanks!

Why not keep it simple?

Nature
Natural Wonders
Life
Or, to copy E.O.Wilson: The Diversity of Life

Thank you, gcflora. There are a few there that stand out to me, but don't quite express what I'm looking for, but they have gotten me thinking along similar lines. Thank you!

another consideration is web presence....if you are going to be using the web to promote and sell your business, then you need to remember that when selecting a name as well as a domain name. keeping it shorter, simpler and the same (domain name and business name) makes it easier. If you call your business "Wonders Unfathomed Photography", im sure the domain name of WondersUnfathomedPhotography.com is available, but who wants to type all that? If you called it "Unfathomed Photos", then it would be easier to type unfathomedphotos.com. It needs to be easy for people to remember and type in. Trust me, I wish I would of went shorter on my name...lol
