To ask you what you think of this name for my business?

[Ruggybug]

Elle est Belle

I'm just about to qualify in VTCT Swedish massage.I'm already qualified in Beauty therapy.I hope to do freelance and tonight I will be registering my domain name for a website and also will need to print leaflets and business cards etc.

What do you think of this name?Would love to hear your honest thoughts!
Thankyou for reading{smile]

What does it mean?

Worral-She is beautiful

I'd be saying it Elliebell

She is beautiful? Yes, it"s lovely. Wish I had thought of it for my beauty business...

No.
It makes it sound too dodgy which is persumably not the image you seek to project.
What does anyone's looks have to do with the quality of the massage?

Why thank you OP

But what does it mean?

Took me a half a minute to work out ow it should be pronounced.

I think it would end up being spoken as Elliebell, which doesn't sound too nice.

moondog the OP is also qualified in beauty therapy so I'm guessing she'll be linking the two perhaps?

I sort of like it but would be pretentious for round here

Runs the risk of becoming 'hells belles'?

Thanks Marie!My dh actually came up with it lol

moondog-looks have nothing to do with massage but I hope to do beauty treatments too.Thanks for your reply don't want to sound dodgy

Tbh, I don't like French names for things in the UK. We don't have accent, we can't say it right, so it just sounds silly rather than elegant.

I think people will found it difficult to pronounce.

Sorry, with reard to beauty therapy then of course it is appropriate.
Just maybe not so if massage is the main focus or you may be inundated with seedy requests.
Perish the thought!

@ worra
Assuming not many people will know what it means, it's not something I would remember. Doesn't stand out

I don't think that it sounds like a serious massage business.

Tbh, in my city most knocking shops have french names.

Most people will know what it means, surely? They just won't say it properly due to laziness.

Www.elleestbelle.co.uk is a bit hard to read, i think... Looks like Elleest Belle, wehich makes no sense.

Flossie we have an Italian called Dolce Vita in our village and the number of people who think it is called 'Dollsee Veeta'....

Knocking shops
Thankyou everyone I knew I'd get honest replies on here and I may start thinking more into it..

I think it kind of works for the beauty therapy business, but for the massage side it sounds like a really pretty masseuse...... :)

Are your target clients female, or would you be happy to doing massage for men as well (other than say, husbands of female clients)? If the latter, then I think a more impersonal name might be better.

Are you really Swedish, Edith? If so, could you think of some Swedish-y place name/words that could be associated with you, beauty therapy & therapeutic massage (and not dodgy massage from an Abba lookalike with no underwear on)?

Sorry, seems like a brothel name to me.

worral...sure you're very beau
talking of beau....that could be an idea to spin off...

Mrsgypsy-swedishedith didnt type op...although fantastic advice..could look into swedish names as it is a swedish massage..

Mamachoo-that website address does look odd..you're right

oops sorry Ruggybug that'll teach me to eat lunch and type messages at the same time......
