Feedback on my Business name please.

First off I would like to say that after reading the Branding your name/business article I have kind of reconsidered my business name:

Orginally I wanted to go with Rocky Mountain Auto Detailing which would be shortened to ROMOautodetailing.com however given the fact that there is a certain QB in the NFL with the name ROMO I started to wonder if I might be inadvertently running afoul of NFL trademark violations.

So then I thought about using my real name which is Michael J. Cheaney, however people have a hard enough time pronouncing my name correctly, never mind the trouble the would have trying to key it in as a website address...

What do you guys think? And if anyone has any other business name suggestions I am open to other options!!!

How about Rocky Mountain Detailing..( RMD) for short! Good luck with your search!

Since you are in Montana, how bout something like Big Sky Detail, etc?

I like Rocky Mountain Detail as it's focused on the geographical area you cater to.

rockydetail.com is available. It's easy to spell, easy to remember.

RMADetail.com is also available. Rocky Mountain Auto Detail

Just some suggestion... it can be tricky getting just the right name that's meets all the criteria listed here and of course your own personal prefernces...

It's important to get these things right the first time before you start printing or spending any money on business related duties etc.

That's creative!

BigSkyDetail.com

Of course you need to check to see if the Domain Name is available...

Great info mike,,i named my detail business Total Care Detailing. already got the domain name just have to get a website built and go from there..I like the Big Sky Detailing name,,Big Sky definitely makes you think about that area.

Picking a name seems so trivial but it took me forever to find "the one". Like Mike says, branding is the first thing the customer will see or hear. I was actually walking in downtown Denver, many miles from home, when it hit me. I walked into a store called The Art of Shaving. My name was born...Art of Shine, "we restore your cars self esteem".

Now, if you do use Big Sky Detail, I will only expect a 10% per car name finder fee.

I had a friend that changed his used bookstore name so he would be first in the phone book. He went from Windmill Books to AA Books and doubled his customers.
