Names like Cora

27 replies

Ok so this is slightly off topic from Baby Names but I thought you lovely bunch of ladies may be able to help.

I'm trying to come up with a name for my reusable menstrual product business (ie washable pads, cups, etc). I want something simple and was thinking something like "Cora" but it's already taken by a tampon company. I also like Flora, Nora and Honour but I think they aren't quite right as they are similar to other brand names. Any ideas? Ideally one or two syllables.

Never got a reply about Fialuna, but wanted to update as @cosmoa did ask for one. I went with Fialuna. I'm still developing the line of washable pads, but I've recently launched a line of menstrual cups and have a range of accessories too. Thank you lovely ladies for your assistance. Picking a name was one of the hardest things in setting up the business!

You can view the line at www.fialuna.com. Plus, I am doing a give away until Sept 13 if you are interested :)

Ok. I'm bumping this thread again. What do you think of FiaLuna? Fia means woven and Luna obviously mean moon/lunar cycle etc.

Rhea - Titaness and goddess of nature. Daughter of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus, and known as “the mother of gods”.

Sashay?? 🤔 really??

Soul 🤔

Not keen on those.

Please don’t call it Juno! Confused I agree something non-namey might be best to avoid people sharing their name with a sanitary brand. I’m sure your products are great, but still!

I quite like Fierce. Some random ideas in the same vein:

Force
Dare
Sashay
Glow
Shine
Lumen
Brave
Soul

But Emme is pronounced eh-me and Femme is F-em spoken out loud they sound nothing alike

Cosmoa · 15/06/2018 20:40

I like Emme cause it reminds me of 'Femme'

educatingarti · 15/06/2018 20:40

Strong and fierce- Boudicca?Grin

MynameisJune · 15/06/2018 20:38

I like Gaia or Hera.

Emme doesn’t really seem right as a business name to me. I wouldn’t put sanitary products and Emmeline Pankhurst together.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

I like Enora and Juno.

Sadly, I don't think I can really use Honour because there is already a washable pad company called Honour Your Flow and it seems to similar. Same with Luna. There's another company called Lunapads.

Fierce on it's own could work. I also thought of Cherish but not sure...

Enora is the Cornish version of Honour
Elora also nice
Clara
Nuala
I like the Juno suggestion
Lorna

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/06/2018 18:57

Pamela.

HeyDolly · 15/06/2018 17:33

Florence?

A more formal version of Aunty Flo Wink

Octopeppa · 15/06/2018 15:44

I wouldn't go for a human name. It means one less name that people will feel comfortable using for a baby in the future!

Emme is a nice idea though.

WrideD · 15/06/2018 15:32

I'm trying to think strong and fierce instead of girly and sweet.. I mean periods make you pretty strong and badass just by living through them. Honor is good though and I like the Emme idea.

WrideD · 15/06/2018 15:30

I think something mythical might be nice, with ties to motherhood and fertility?

Juno (mother goddess)
Freya
Gaia (ancestral mother of life)
Hera (goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth)

MikeUniformMike · 15/06/2018 14:19

Luna? Sorry, Fanny was a bit jokey.

What do you think of EMME? Short for Emmeline Pankhurst of the suffragette movement

OP posts:
Bubblesoup · 15/06/2018 09:56

What about a flower? Seems appropriate somehow - fertility etc

Lily
Petal
Blossom
Tansy
Petunia
Bluebell
Belle
Jasmine
Lilac
Lotus
Peony
Fern
Fleur

Good luck!

Cosmoa · 15/06/2018 09:37

No ideas but let us know the final choice so I can look into the product!
