"Desperatly need a name"


          

Hi, my friend and I are gathering information on starting a business together. Her name is Kim and my name is Cari. Its going to be a store where we sell candles, gift baskets votive roses and other things. We are going to do fundraisers, and also center pieces and favors for all types of parties. So, that leaves us with the ideas, but not the name. If any one has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Cari

I suggested this name to someone sometime back in this fourm.

"Candle with Care"

I'm not sure if this will suit your business as you are not only dealing with candles.

How about combining your names...

carikim

It has sort of a whimsical sound which might work for your business.

You could have:

"candles by carikim" all in lowercase with cari in one color, kim in another for a logo

Other ideas...

The Gift Cottage
The Candle Cottage

You could play with cari, kim, carikim, cottage, and candles.

Whatever the combination, you have a nice alliteration factor which makes a name easy to remember!

I second carikim!!! I would make it "carikim gifts and more", though... Just a thought...

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Someone had mentioned to me idea and thought I would pass it along. Let's say for example you choose the name "Sweet Things" and you like it but it doesn't scream "business", go to a free online translator and see what it sounds like in french, or italian, etc. It hasn't worked for me yet but maybe you'll have better luck.

I love Melvin's suggestion, "Candle with care". It basically says it all to me. You are selling crafts carefully made with good quality. The other names are good too, but "Candle with care", really speaks to me!

Hey Cari,

I LOVE Nancy's idea of CariKim. You could do all sorts of variations with that:

- Carikim's Gift Cottage
- Carikim's Gifts and Goodies
- Carikim Cottage

I think something like Carikim Cottage would encompass everything you plan to do. Carikim Cafe would also sound cute, if you ever expanded the business to include coffees and treats, etc.

Take care,
Christina
