asked:


I am starting a Graphic Design Consulting company and i cant decide on a name. I have looked in the internet for websites on helping me pick a name. But it is amazing on how much they will charge you by just giving you a few ideas on names. So I ask you please if you can just think of a good business name using the word “Madison”. There is a lot of compitition out there so i need a name that will get peoples attention but also let them know what kind of business it is. i will thnak you very for your time and ideas. By the way MADISON is my daughter’s name and i’d love to incorporate that.

    Visit to view the search engine keyword selector tool. Figure out the best name based on keywords (the most popular is often not the best). Visit to see available domain names. Visit to create free logo images. Then educate yourself by visiting for education and exposure to millionaire mentoring and funding sources. Feel free to contact me through my website at if you have any questions.

    I’m also majoring in Graphic Design and I think less is more. If you have a two mile (exageration) long name, it will sound unprofessional. This is just a suggestion but you could go with simply “Madison Design” as the main header. You can make that into a logo then underneath in a small type have ‘graphic design consultation’ or the like. If you make the main logo simple and eye catching, the reader will want to read on further to find out what you guys do. Keep in mind less is more.

    I am not going to discuss such things as trade marks, and registering the name of your business.

    Here are some things to consider when choosing your name:-

    Are you starting the business, with the intention of selling the business down the track? It may be easier to sell a generically named business, than one with your own personal name.

    You have told us what your business intends to do, in its first year, but from my experience dealing with businesses, what they start doing and what they end up doing may be totally different things, because the opportunity presents itself. Don’t limit your business by your business name.

    If you have a passion or an inspiration from somewhere else use it. Explaining why you choose your name can attract people to your business, and your enthusiasm. DR Evils cat, Fluffy chinchilla’s, Tabby Cat, Nine Lives, Purrrrfect are all great names for someone who likes cats.

    Do you need to tell the customers about the prices of your products, discount, affordable, Bi-Lo, best quality at cheapest prices?

    Make sure that it is easy to spell, and pronounce. If someone hears it on the radio, can they google the name, and find you?

    Do you want to limit yourself by using the suburb, city, or state you reside in, or do you want to encourage the community to shop locally.

    In fact if you do choose a name ~ Google it ~ What comes up, is it already in existence somewhere in the world. If you Google my businesses name the only other entry that comes up is a single entry in the Netherlands.

    What are your competitors called? Make a list of all of your competitors…do you want to sound like them or do you want to be distinguished from them?

    Here in Australia a company has started called VIRGIN STAR ~they are an internet & IT service provider. They have gained a huge amount of exposure, because they have used both the name Virgin, from the Richard Branson empire, and Star, we have a fleet of planes here called Jet Star. The simple choice of their name has gained them a huge amount of exposure.

    Another story ~ a client of mine ran a well known business in a county of England. A similar sounding business started up in the next suburb. There business wee not similar the new business sold training infrastructure such as projectors. My clients business used to receive cheques (b.t.w. correct spelling here in oz), in his companies name, that were probably intended for the other company. Well of course he would give the money back…but he also received orders that were intended for the other company, purchase orders would come through on his fax machine…he would source the equipment, and sell it to them making a tidy & easy profit.

    I always say if you have a product or a service that someone will pay money for then you have a business. Yes there is a market for generating innovative & catchy names. Online you can visit this websites catch phrase is “The Ultimate Online Guide for Naming Your Business or Product” and includes links to a software product they sell called the NameRazor, plus listing details of naming consultants, who can help you out, if your brainstorming sessions fail. (I have no affiliation with this group – just found them thru a search)

    Hope that helps a bit.
