How did you pick your diaper business name?

My store name was a result of my last pregnancy. We called our baby "little pearl" while in my belly. My sun sign is Aquarius, and my moon sign is Pisces... I am all about water and the ocean. Once our baby (a girl ) came out, her decided name of Ainsley was thrown aside. As soon as we saw her, all wet and salty smelling, we knew her name was Lorelei (queen of the mermaids). It fit perfect because my husband is of german descent, and the "Lorelei" are mermaids that dwell in the river Rhine in Germany. I had been working on a store that was fairy based, yet one of my friends came out with a faery store, so I had to change that. So, a mermaid theme was the next one I wanted to do, especially after Lorelei's magical birth. The "Hidden Pearl" represents the growing baby within. My store name was supposed to be "The Hidden Pearl", but when my mom registered our www name, it was taken by a greek orthadox church..lol. So she made it Hidden Pearl Creations.

I was going to do "Rainey River Diapers" but the feedback I have gotten says they sound like they will leak- then I heard EnviroBaby and loved it! But it is taken So that is why I am on the hunt- I want something people will remember- any ideas anyone???

How can you find out if a name is "taken" biz wise in the CD world
Just by researching probably....sorry now I'm thinking out loud too......

Moved to WAHMwell.

Dana,
When I told my dh about your store, he thought the name was "Hidden Procreations" :

: Hey man, I'm all about procreating privately, but naming my store after the "deed"... :LOL

When I was looking for a name, I didn't want one that would tie me to a certain line of business. I had started out with The Children's Garden a number of years ago, but knew I wanted to make stuff that had nothing to do with children, eventually.

I wanted an earthy, esoteric, not-so-cutesy but just-cute-enough name. And you can't go wrong with alliteration, IMO

and that lead to the business name...

slogan: "... because nothing about motherhood is ordinary"
business name: "The Extraordinary Baby Shoppe"

I went for 'quaint' with the spelling of 'shoppe', but it's sort of a pain b/c ppl get confused, not that it's that important. Plus the URL is really long, would be nice if it was simpler.

I thought and thought and thought about mine! I was stuck for months, then it came to me. Mine is part acronym for the four elements(air, fire, earth, water) A.F.E.W. Natural Changes
I wanted the elements in my name but could only come up with wafe, lol!!!! When it dawned on me "a few" I jumped up and down. I also wanted it to say natural, then I thought about what I was selling and brain stormed all the names about changing diapers ""changes"", hense, a few natural changes was born
I loke word play and my name has many meanings, it starts with an "a" so it'll be listed close to the top in an alphabetical list, it's a saying, it's an acronym, you are making natural changes when you cloth diaper (a few at a time), I could go on and on, lol

My dd name is Maegan Rain, so I thought of lots of Rain names.....Rain drops, dew drops, rain catchers, you probably know them all!
