Evocative

A word with a feel to it, plus what you do. Room to grow, and easy to say.

Straight down the line

The trade's own vocabulary. Nobody has to guess what you sell.

The something

A definite article makes a small business sound like an institution.

Two words, no explanation

Short, abstract and brandable. Best when you will grow past one trade.

Understated

One good word and a quiet suffix. Ages well.

Naming a food truck

Count the letters. A long name shrinks to nothing on the side of a van, and the van is your entire shopfront.

Before you settle on one

  • Check the domain is free. A name you cannot have the address for is not really available.
  • Search Companies House and the trade mark register, so you are not building on somebody else's name.
  • Say it down the phone to someone who has not seen it written. If they spell it back wrong, keep looking.
