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]

It's pretty, but I think it would be hard work on the phone when you had to keep spelling it out for people, or writing cheques etc.

I'm racking my Swedish brain google translate tool and, well, Swedish looks a bit harsh written down doesn't it? 'Stroke' is the same though

Why don't you call it 'She is Beautiful' - then you have your name but no accent spelling issues?

Good name for "erotic" massage

erotic?noooo..I thought it sounded nice until now(??)

Meant to be doing a website tonight..someones helping me do it and I haven't even got a bleddy name whats wrong with me?>help....

swedishedith!

Gin-might do that..trying to think if it sounds ok

Penelope-yes sounds confusing when I say it out loud

Ps.without wanting to out myself my eldest dc is called ellis and I think I must subconsciously like that it sounds like 'ellis belle' if that makes sense

Trying to help - if you wanted a non-erotic massage name, then you'd have to play up the spa relaxation angle eg., (crappy suggestion) Zen Massage. However you'd then need to add the beauty therapy angle to it. Could you think along the "Personal Spa" route?

They really were crap suggestions, weren't they? So sorry.

Personally i dont like it, as you always feel a bit of a prat pronouncing names that are in french. I don't mind the belle part but the whole thing as a sentence - not keen. Sorry.

As an idea - you are in the right place for inspiration!

When I first came on mn I was bowled over by so many of the fab and witty names on here - just have a nosey through the threads and steal one!!

Not sure about CappyHunt or some of the slightly more risque ones but I have definitely seen some that could be nickable!!!

Mrsgypsy..no not crap at all!..something 'zennish' is more fitting and isnt too 'try hard' which think i sound..going to google lots..thankyou!

Firawla-belle beauty,beau beauty,belle holistics(?)that or zen like names that mrsgypsy mentioned and forget all together about the 'chic' sounding names....

Gin-thanks going to do that I always wonder how some of you come up with these imaginative names..failing that might ask my dc

thankyou everyone

I wouldn't go with that name tbh. It does sound a bit 'extras are available' iykwim.

Beauty to go? Make Up, Fake Up and Shake Up? Pretty Tantastic? Hammer and Tongs? Really hate foreign names for services over here unless there is a reason. Sorry.

I hate it - sorry. Doesn't tell me anything about the business or service provided, difficult to pronounce / spell which can cause problems on the phone or for people googling a website.

With a name like this and offering swedish massage i think you will get lots of calls thinking you are a prozzie tbh

Sounds like the name of an escort service to me.

meant to be making this website this evening(if I'm still awake)
didnt think it sounded escorty' 'prozzie' like but now you say it....
argghhhh
Grumpy-beauty to go sounds the best from that list..thankyou

Grumpy Beauty? Sounds like the beautician for me

Grumpy beauty
Lazy beauty
Sleepy beauty

at least they dont sound prozzy brazzy escorty

Can I say it fast and still be understandable and not have to repeat it?
Is it memoriable?
Does everyone know what it means?
Will you forever be spelling it over the phone as people don't know how to spell it?
Is it easy to misspell?

If the answer to above questions is "no", its not the best brand name.

All of which have been mentioned already in thread.

KEEP IT SIMPLE. More is less. Don't try and be too clever.

Pml at GrumpyBeauty! Beauty to go is q nice tho. I'd book you!

HONESTLY, sounds a bit prostituey, also not sure how it links with massage??

go for a swedish non whorey name? helga? !

I don't speak French so I wouldn't know how to pronounce it or what it means. I actually think "She Is Beautiful" sounds much better and less try-hard!

This is FINAL shortlist
