Help me name my shop!

[ladyandthechocolate]

I need your help, hive mind
I will be opening a shop, an independent selling clothing (lesser known brands, maternity stuff) and locally made jewellery etc
I’m struggling with the name
This is my shortlist:
Blossom&robes
Luxeduck
Pushvelvet
Stellarobes

Do you have a favourite and any other suggestions would be appreciated? Thanks!

I like Luxeduck best of your list.

@Pelleas thanks, that’s my favourite too

If Luxeduck is your favourite then that's what you should call it. It's my least favourite, I prefer Stellarobes.

@ItsNotNormalLove thanks- I really like that too but I’ve thought about it so long I can’t think clearly any more!

I like PushVelvet the best, though I don't really like any of them all that much. Sorry.

Will much of it be maternity?

If it will I quite like the Blossom aspect

BlossomLuxe
Blossom & Duck
Blossom Luxeduck

Blossom & Belle
Blossom & (a girls name - yours? A daughters? One you just like?)

But a shop, right now?? I teally hope you've done the research & can afford to lose money. Or have free rent or something.

@MJMG2015 I’m not planning to open until the spring next year at least. Going to work on establishing an online presence until things pick up
I have no connection with blossom, I just like it. My daughter’s name is Phoebe and I would mind incorporating her name but I haven’t had any inspiration so far

And probably 1/4 maternity but lesser known brands

Luxeduck sounds like toilet cleaner.

Toilet cleaner! I guess I can see why you’d say that...

Blossom & Beyond?

Blossom & Bee (for Phoebe)
Velvet Bee
Velvet Blossom
BeeBee Blossom

Blooming Blossom? Swollen Swallow? Kicking Kegs?

Waddling Willow?

I like PPs suggestions of Blossom and Duck and Blossom and Bee.

Not a fan of the others sorry

I don’t love any of them, sorry, they sound slightly wrong.

Push Velvet should be Plush Velvet to my ears, and so on.

The word velvet is nice, as is velveteen.

But your range is quite varied, so I am struggling to capture it with suggestions of my own.

Do you want to emphasise the maternity part?

If so Mother Earth, Mama etc might work.

What about simple calling it Phoebe?

Luxe duck makes no sense to me .. what does it mean??

Imo your shop name should explain what you do ( clearly or otherwise ) ..

I don’t like Luxeduck at all. Was going to suggest, like a PP Blossom & Bee. Lots of opportunity for the logo etc

Blossom and Bee .. maternity and beyond ...( in smaller writing ) would explain what you are .. otherwise you may not get anyone come in r the wrong people .. 🤷‍♀️

I like Blossom & Bee as the pp suggested.

They're all a bit awkward, it took me ages to read luxe duck, I kept trying to make it luxed uk.

I like Blossom & Bee.

Is there any theme tying all your things together, e.g. eco stuff, scandi style, bright colours?

I don’t have any other suggestions yet but I also think Luxeduck sounds like a posh toilet cleaner.

Also think Blossom & Bee sounds like a lovely name but anything along those lines would make me think children’s clothes/nursery store.

My favourite is Blossom & Robes, it sounds quite designer-like. The Blossom part of the name is pretty. Not keen on Luxeduck, it reminds me of a cleaning product as pp said. PushVelvet makes me think of Mint Velvet.

House of Blossom?
