To tell my friend her business name is rubbish?

[NChappy]

She wants to call it Pasta Best. To me it sounds like her products are passed their best. Should I tell her before it is too late and she has started trading?

There's a bit in Gone With The Wind where Rhett Butler suggests Scarlett call her new store Caveat Emptor (buyer beware) which she does, thinking it sounds very classy..Tell your friend that the name of her business could be taken to suggest something very different to what she is trying to convey. Ultimately it's her choice, but she may just not have noticed any other interpretation and be grateful to have it pointed out.

What is the actual business?

Pastarama
Pastatastic

Just wanted to give a round of applause for Unsurpastable and Pasta La Vista - superb!!👏

Agree she needs to be told it's not a good choice OP!!

Ah Curl Up and Dry, that was it! On a corner along a road somewhere around New Cross yes

I've seen a Curl Up & Dye too. Pasta Best sounds a bit off! Does she know that and think it sounds funny maybe?

I've recently started a new business with a bit of an odd name and am dying to ask the opinions of the marketing people on here!

I'm going to sell religious ice lollies in Vatican Square just so I can call my business Christ on A Stick

Pasta Perfetta. I agree with your reservations about the name. If she was my friend, I would tell her.

Thanks everyone, I think I will have to tell her. I think the fact that the business doesn't even have anything to do with pasta makes it even worse.

It has nothing to do with pasta? What has it to do with? Is it for elderly women then?

There's a hairdressers tucked away off a high street near us called 'Hidden Hair' - I always think it sounds a little unsavoury

Nothing to do with pasta at all?!!

Someone once posted on here about a hair salon called "Eve's and Lauren's" which I thought was fabulous (you need to say it)

Took me ages to get that Balloon!

balloon I've been saying Eve's and Lauren's over and over, I just can't get it. Please let me out of my misery.

Pasta joke in fact.

Pasta Resistance.

Yves St Laurent chit

This reminds me of the scene in Gone with the wind (the novel) where Rhett Butler induces Scarlett to call her shop Caveat Emptor.

Perhaps you should suggest that to your friend instead?

What about Besta Pasta ?

What is the business if not pasta related??

Ive heard worse.

That MLM company that sells weight loss products and body wraps none of which work goes by the name "It Works!"

It Works! for a company that sells weight loss products that dont work is pretty funny.

Pasta Best is a bit unimaginative but not that bad.

the fact that the business doesn't even have anything to do with pasta makes it even worse

What the fucking fuck?

I've seen an online fashion magazine for children called Pumpkids

Pasta Best is a bit unimaginative but not that bad

It fucking is if it's an ironmonger's store.
