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!

Ooh, I like
Bright
Finna
Sig (linguistically, for any Swedes knocking about this thread do finna and sig work separately?)

It is not a laxative!

Adored Lemon Fizz The Peach Tree Orchard Silk & Stone

Silk & Stone, love it!

Bella Donna

Bella Donna - step inside and experience hallucinations.. 😱

Silk and Stone sounds like an 80s album by Dollar.

MrsBobDylan - very true. Or a detective series... Lucy Silk and Jim Stone..
Silk and Stone solve crimes in the Nottinghamshire area.

Anything with luxe in it would stop me going in the shop. I would think it was a load of over priced wank!

Have you researched who your target customer is? Who are they and can they afford your prices? The City/Town you are located in will impact on this. You say you are South West, but where in The South West? Bath and Exeter, for example would be possibly more affluent that somewhere like Sherborne or Truro.

Blossom and children's name shops are so twee and difficult to change later on.

I would want to see quality basics that I could wear for work and home with unique pieces and unique jewellery.

I have it.....

Bloop

Think about it...

Blo ssom & OP this = Bloop

Bloop = the 2012 natural phenomena of the sound of ice calving. Only cows and ice-bergs calve . That is giving birth by partitioning a part of you away.

Ice calving, but protecting...I see warmth and clothing.

Looser plays on Bjork.

Maybe Bloop Nanuk

random single words

uno
bert
laf
tad
grande

ad infinitum!

Something with Dandelion? (Or on its own)

*The two front runners are:

Freja (but with 2 dots over the j, umlaut I think it is)
*
OP You can't just add an umlaut to a letter because it looks nice. It changes the pronunciation of the word entirely.
Adored is awful, sounds like a cheap jewellery brand. How about Adorn?

Silk & Stone sounds nice.

I dont know why, but I really like the suggestion of Bloop.

Bloop sounds like a fart in the bath.

Anna-Frid.
Agnetha.
Greta.
Freyja (yet another spelling).

Of all these, I like Blomma.

@Antonov I think whales calve too? Which obviously conjures up more images of ICT water...

What's Swedish for calve?

@Bummsbet actually I think it is appropriate use- it just indicates the j is to be pronounced differently.

Whatever you choose, if you're going to be starting it off online then you need to be considering website URLs first. No accents, umlauts, etc allowed. And many good names already taken.

Also if you want a Skandi name then you have to stop calling the dots umlauts

I love Trove! Love it

Blossom and Robes.

Sorry for the radio silence- one DC woke up with a high temperature so the day’s plans all needed to be swiftly cancelled. Grrrr
I profess to know nothing about Swedish dialect and punctuation- I always thought the dots were umlauts?
I still haven’t quite decided but I really do appreciate everyone’s input so thank you.
You are all invited to my fictional grand opening, no expense spared!

Trove! Nice!

In German the two dots are called an umlaut. In Swedish they aren't called anything, they go over two extra letters in their alphabet, A and O.
