Imagination required!

I need some help... I am starting to make cake toppers and wedding stationery for people and want to set up my own site, business etc. as a hobby - but I need a really cool name!!! Teehee named my blog for me which is ace, but is a bit long for a business name and is more aimed towards blogging.

I want something quirky and unusual, not too twee, and not really directly wedding related in case I diversify later (futureproofing!!)

Shout out whatever comes to mind... the quirkier the better!!!

    I had a go at this the other day and liked the word "creation" too.

    Crafty Creations?

    Couture Creations?

    Whimsical Occasions?

    Or just something really random and quirky? But I cant think of an example!

    I have to say, i am not loving the title with ginger in **runs and hides **

    what are you trying to get across from your name? liek do you want people to get a crafty image in their heads when they hear it? or think simplicity? or for them to think bespoke? or luxury?

    you say away from weddingy stuff, will it be cake topppers and stationary youl be doing or other stuff maybe in the future?>

    *runs after flow*

    I seem to be drawn to it... I think I have it in my head from walking past the Ginger Group Hairdressers!!! I shall steer clear of the ginger!!!

    I think more bespoke, unusual type of feeling... something funky/quirky

    I don't want it to say weddings or crafty... I may move into general stationery or other accessories at a later date so would like something all encompassing and not too specific...

    fussy... moi??!!

    For things like this, I like business names with sweet/fruity/foody things in the name, so for example "cherry" is good, as is "vanilla". What's your favourite dessert? I like the "ginger" for the food bit - ginger is sharp, edgy, all good associations with a quirky stationery company.

    My faves so far are Wickedly Pure Couture and Urban Fairy. I like the contrast, reminds me of PrettyWild.

    I really don't like anything with "crafty" (or "krafty"), just think it comes across tacky/cheap ?

    Think there's already a company call Chic Unique, sure I follow them on Twitter.

    All I'd say is do lots of googling to check your business name before deciding. I didn't and there are so many variations of Lou Lou Belle doing similar things!

    ETA: Oops sorry didn't read the last page!

    Hot Ginger makes me think of a porn stars name........ you might get hits for the wrong reason.....

    then I start to think of cooking....

    couture means ''the business of designing, making, and selling highly fashionable, usually custom-made clothing for women''. ...so anything with couture in the title would make me think you made clothes, not stationary......

    I like urban..... but not fairy. I'll keep thinking....

    Hmmm

    RedWriting.... with some reference to red riding hood - covers both stationary and ginger! I love the idea of having ginger in there somewhere (for obvious reasons) but agree with Teehee that Hot Ginger might get you some altogether very different custom!! ?
