Help coming up with business name?

Help! I've been racking my brain on this for weeks and weeks, but I just don't have any good idea. I was looking for something that doesn't sound too cutesy, but not dull and generic either.





What we'll be doing is providing a free customer survey service to contractors that will give them feedback from their customers, then using the survey results we'll sell listings of the top rated contractors to consumers who are searching for a good contractor.





Here are some of my attempts. Of course, as I said above, I'm not happy with any of them, mostly because I think they're too dull.





SurveySource


SurveyDataPros


SurveyWise


Competition Data Pros


Rivals Data Source


ProSearch


Rivals Resources


Boos and Bravos





I like Boos and Bravos, but it has a major problem, which is that "Boos" sounds like "booze". I like it because it has a little color and it has relevant connotations, and isn't strictly descriptive of my business service.

Reply:When we launched a business last year the most important thing was that the domain name was also free. This narrowed our options hugely. If you want to get this on to the internet and it sounds like the sort of business that would need to then you need to give it some serious thought.





I spent many hours thinking of names and searching to see if the domain was free. if it wasn't I moved on, regardless of how much I liked it.





If you want something quirky rather than purely descriptive what about RightGuy, TopPro, WiseChoice etc (I'll be amazed if they are free though).





Good luck anyway.
Reply:If your plan is to rate construction contractors for homeowners that want to hire them, then your company name needs to suit someone that would be in their middle thirties up to say, middle sixties so, I don't like cutsie....and the Boos and Bravos is a stretch for me as well.


If your success will come from a generic internet search then you need your name to be service specific.


something like


Contractors Refferal Services, Inc.......


If your marketing strategy is to go after people that have purchased homes or closed recently on mtges then maybe your name " ServiceWise" would work...
Reply:I REALLY LIKE SURVEY SOURCE, I think it's great! To the point and professional. Would make a great looking logo. Perfect combination.
