I would like some suggestions on what to name my charity business. Here are the points about my business that are important in choosing the name:
–100% of profits from all sales will be donated to an eye hospital in south India
–jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets) will be made from semiprecious gemstone beads and silver and will be handcrafted by me.
Here are the ideas I have so far, but none of them satisfy me. I would like the name to be shorter and catchier. Let me know what you think of these or suggest others!
–Pretty Visions Jewelry
–Gift of Sight Jewelry
The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route…
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

While I do like "Gift of Sight Jewelry", I'm going to suggest "Second Sight Jewelry" or "New Sight Jewelry".
