I'm rubbish at naming things so please help me come up with a name!

I'll be selling handmade jewellery made from leather, semi precious crystals and metal.

Macrame home bits like wall hangings, candles and plant holders.

It will be a hippy, Boho style online shop. Hit me with your best ides!

Strings and stones sounds like a play on ‘sticks and stones’ which doesn’t have particularly positive connotations.

How about something like (replace jane with whatever your name is!)
Made by Jane
Jane’s gift boutique
Jane’s bazaar
With love, jane
Bespoke by jane

ProseccoSupernova · 13/06/2020 16:57

Meraki is lovely

ChangeThePassword · 13/06/2020 16:59

The Eclectic Emporium
Stuff

Many brands, the name is not meaningful to the product - like apple, flying tiger etc, so you could go for something unrelated

Like (these are random, I'm not saying they are any good)

Rhubarb
Hogweed
Mercury rising

EmperorCovidula · 13/06/2020 17:02

Brands of that vibe tend to be called “x and y” with one component being distinctly naturey and the other crafty I’d go for something like:
Ivy and twine
Rose and stone
Leather and sky
String and heather
Hare and Stone
And so forth

Claphands · 13/06/2020 17:04

I’d have something with wild in the name because it kind of creates that boho feel to me...

Wild and made
Made wild
Made by wild
The wild boutique
The wild home boutique/store
Wildlings

I like Meraki though

Herecomethehotstepper · 13/06/2020 17:04

Meraki! 😍

I also vote for strings and stones

AllNewThings · 13/06/2020 17:07

I like Strings & Stones too. EatsShootsAndLeaves why would you post such an unkind thing?

2littlefishes · 13/06/2020 17:08

I really like Meraki. You could use soul, creativity and love as tag line too!!

AllNewThings · 13/06/2020 17:09

Sorry, that comment was to EatsShootsAndRuns.

AllNewThings · 13/06/2020 17:13

Jesus, another one. Why are you posting such shitty things? There's no need.

wowfudge · 13/06/2020 17:13

Meraki sounds like a Greek drink spirit.

How about The Skimming Stone

Herecomethehotstepper · 13/06/2020 17:57

It's not to everyone's taste Smile

I don't like the Mrs Hinch style of decor but no point in criticising it. If we all liked the same things life would be boring.

@AllNewThings

OP seemed to find my comment funny as she responded with Grin. I did make a few other suggestions afterwards, unlike you, who seems to have had a sense of humour bypass and popped on here just to be snarky. Remove the stick from your arse and lighten up. Smile

LolaDarkdestroyer · 13/06/2020 18:17

EatsShootsAndRuns the last sentence of that comment would work well one vote for... take the stick out of your arse and lighten up!

AllNewThings · 13/06/2020 18:50

No snarking from me EatsShootsAndRuns. Just calling out nasty bitching when I come across it. Yes, I'm sure the OP posting for support in setting up her new business venture thought your comment suggesting that she was selling a load of old shite hilarious and not at all hurtful! How funny you are! Smile

HeartZone · 13/06/2020 18:52

Strings and stones is my favourite

My offering is

Hippy chic

I tend to go for something not to blatantly descriptive of what you do so that you can change what you sell down the line if need be and it won't affect the name. You can also build a brand with a nice logo.
How about

The Peacock Feather
Daisy's Chain
Peaches and Cream
The Little Owl

Just a few ideas. Love the jewellery by the way.
