How did you come up with your etsy shop name???

I'm thinking of starting a new shop to sell all kinds of jewelry... not just owls! But one of the hardest parts of starting a shop is thinking of a name.

Wondering how people come up with the names they have... any thoughts?

  1. my shop name is capow. it's based from my name: first and middle initials (CA) + first three letters of my last name (Pow) = CAPow!

  3. It is really hard coming up with a name. My shop is called Little Tesoro and Tesoro means treasure in Italian. I went to dictionary.com and played around in the thesaurus section and I came upon the word Tesoro. I often use the same method to name my items. Good luck!

  4. So Many Memories was born when my daughter and I were talking about our memories learning how to sew. Since it's a sewing business I wanted to use 'sew' instead of 'so' but it was already taken :( I know how nerve wracking it can be...good luck!

  6. My name happened by accident, I need a new email account and that's the name I came up with, then next thing I knew I was putting it on everything. I sounds ok to me, but a lot of people ask me what it means. My shop name is Additionsstyle.

  8. My shoppe is actually named after my ragdoll kitten, Calypso. She was named Calypso due to my other kitten's (Darwin's) absolute obsession with her. She has a silent meow (for some reason her vocal cords are dysfunctional). I'm also, obviously, a fan of Greek mythology, and the story of Calypso.

  9. Mine is my first name (Kaati) and a combination of mine and my husband's last names (Ross + Ricketts = Rocketts.) I'm a big fan of name combinations.
