My gamertag, GunMunkee was actually borne of a joke (my dad was playing Battlefield 2 as GunApe, so when I played with his clan I thought it would be funny to be GunMonkey). But in MMO's, message boards, etc I struggle to come up with a name that doesn't suck (and I usually fail at that).
Now that it's time to name something that actually matters, my production company, I'm stuck again. I've reached out to friends, tossed out a couple name ideas on Facebook, and now I'm reaching out to a larger community of total strangers because I'm really, really stuck.
The company name I'm trying to come up with has to fit the following criteria:
-It needs to be easy to spell and memorable enough to get quick referrals. For that reason I'm against using my name as the company name.
-It needs to work when marketing to the wedding industry, but can't be limited to that. I'd like to keep my options open for corporate production and the like, and names with "memories" or "special day" limit me.
-My primary territory will be New England. Studio 603 (the area code for New Hampshire) came to mind, but I fear that it's too limiting.
-I'm not a fan of cute or funny business names. Though "Dude, Where's My Camera" is certainly memorable, it doesn't sound professional.
I was thinking of using my initials, JP, but having it stand for something else like J_________ Productions. Another name I had in mind is Mountain Media but a number of friends on Facebook dismissed it right away.
Somebody do my homework for me?
