Firstly, I apologise. I know there have been a slew of these requests with the new year. But reading some of the suggested names, I was so impressed..

So, I was hoping someone might be able to help me...

I have a company that produces decorative outdoor screens and lattices. Up until now I had just been trading under a generic ltd company name but am hoping to market more extensively in the new year.

Problem is, is I have no clever name for the business.. At all.

Basically the business sells decorative/design led outdoor/garden things. Not just screens/lattices, but that is the core product. So I don't really want the name to contain the word "screens" or reference screens in particular, as we do sell other things..

Am adding a picture of one of the products but will happily remove if it is viewed as not appropriate/marketing.

Thank you!!!

Adorn suggests insubstantial or more tacky to me. Like a trinket or ornament, something additional rather than the gorgeous structures you have that will be centrepieces in the gardens.

If it is less consumer trade and more professionals, then the name is less important and clarity outweighs the 'cute' factor.

Sorry to be so negative.

I dunno but.... I want one! I do have a garden, plus a little 1.5sqm balcony that a fab screen would be perfect for.

Sycamore - please don't apologise. I'm exactly after frank opinions. Thank you

Mygorgeousmilo- they're really great as balcony dividers. Give a good amount of privacy but also are attractive. That's the use I first made them for our flat Smile

"Adorn my outdoors" sounds like a vajazzle salon.

Trellissimo is really pretty.

FartnissEverbeans · 04/02/2017 00:47

I like the & names - they sound stylish and upmarket. Lattice & Lovage is a good one.

Ivy House is also good.

Slug & Lattice (just kidding)
Shangri-Lattice (Grin)
Terrassa or Terrazza
Arcadia
Court & Lattice
Courtyard Designs

I like the idea of using 'court' or 'courtyard' or 'terrace' instead of 'garden'. Sound fancier

HelpP1ease · 06/02/2017 21:57

ok, I've done it...

Domains and everything else has been bought. I will come back and update when I publish the website.

A big, big thank you for such fantastic, thoughtful, witty ideas. I really, really appreciate it.

Now onto the next steps!

Thank you, everyone!

Lapinlapin yes 100 percent. Selfishly I wanted to update with the name once it is all up and running so that I could get a bit of an accurate "critique" of the name, as in how it sits with the overall brand. I am furiously typing up the rest of the copy for the website at the moment.
