How long did it take you to come up with your name?

How do you check that? lol

Thanks for all the replies. I think I did what most of you did, trying to come up with a name. I have three girls, so I tried combos of their names, etc., but nothing felt just right. I do, finally, have a name, though! It is long and probably strange, but I love it! I chose "Pink Lemonade a La Mode." It does have a story, at least. My grandmother had open heart surgery two weeks ago, and for a couple of days after the surgery, she was a little loopy from the pain medicine. She kept saying that there was pink lemonade on the ceiling. It made me smile during a scary time, and I just thought it was cute. I debated between Mimi's Pink Lemonade and Pink Lemonade a La Mode. Finally, I decided on the latter. A La Mode is another name for fashion,which I thought was cool. I will do more than bows, as well, so I wanted something versatile.

How do you check that? lol

I believe that you can check that by doing a search on the TESS website, but I don't know the address. If I am wrong, I am sure someone will correct me, but hopefully that helps some.


p.s. - For some of you that asked, I will post a few pics later of some of the stuff I have done recently.

It took me awhile but I got it. Kitt's Bowtique. Kitt is the first letter in my kids' names. Kylee, Ian, Trenton, and Tyler. I also came up with a slogan that fits. "Kids In Tiny Tutu's" Whatcha think?

I had a heck of a time too. I didn't want anything cutesy since I didn't want to limit my products to just infants and children. I'm hoping to branch out one day and wanted my name to be vague enough to do so. My sister and I were originally going to start eh business with her doing sewing and my bows and no-sewing items. She backed out a couple of weeks ago before our 1st craft show this past weekend.

I wanted to call it "My Sister's Closet" since we were sister's and growing up she always wanted to go into my closet (she's younger). I loved the play on words but found out there was a consignment store named that. So I thought about it for a week and came up with "...And All That's Nice". It's a based on the children's nursery rhyme of sugar and spice and everything nice.

I googled and googled and googled and finally paid to do a search in Canada to see if another business had registered the name and they hadn't. So I registered the name and bought the .com and .ca domain names for it as well so it's all mine!

Nykoal...do you live in Cambridge? I think I saw your business name on the back of a car today.

[MSquare]

lol...yes I do. Small world!

[Allie262]

Very small...I think we live on the same street.

[MSquare]

Holy Cow...small world! I was wondering where you saw my car sign since I hadn't left my house all day! lol

I saw it when I was walking my son to school and thought maybe it was just a general kid's website and wanted to check it out to see if you wanted to carry our hair accessories! I couldn't believe it when I saw the same name pop up on here. I told my husband that a forum member lived on the same street and he said I should hire you on, but it looks like you have too much invested in your website for that.
