What’s in a Name?

by Sara on January 20, 2010

Ever try to come up with a name for a new business?

I’m struggling, friends! 

Without going into too much detail (I love leaving you in suspense), my latest venture is starting an online business.  Before I can do anything more, I must fill out all the important legal paperwork.  You can’t do any of it UNTIL you have a name! 

Here’s my brainstorming list (so far): 

calico — gingham — thread — paisley — polka dot — pattern — plaid — floral — cloth — sew — notion — ribbon — rick rack — seam — cut — stitch — material — fabric — button — cotton — needle –

&

nesting — cottage — style — vintage — play — whimsy — home — inspire

Can you guess what The Football Wife is up to? 

Who has a clever store name?

Let’s hear ‘em!

Ugh, I’m awful at this. Here goes:
the paisley notion
the inspired stitch
stitching whimsy
calico cottage
the patterned cottage
sew inspired
the rick rack (chic?) shack
the material home
playing with paisley. . .I really like paisley, but don’t know how else to use it. . .

Good luck!
