I'm on the cusp of starting to make and sell my own handmade ice cream at farmers markets etc and I'll be selling from a traditional style ice cream bike. I don't do 'standard' flavours, so you'd find flavours like Eton Mess, Peanut Butter & Caramel or Rhubarb Crumble, plus a vegan flavour / sorbet.

Recipes are developed and tested, kitchen is being modified to keep environmental health happy and the bike is awaiting delivery. But - I need a name for my business! Without it I can't set up my website etc...

I need something that suggests

  • premium quality
  • something that's a bit different to the norm
  • possibly a hint at the environmental / zero waste ethos

I'm in Wales but I've been avoiding place related names as I want the option to expand in future, and I can't be certain that the business will always be bike-based so I've been avoiding explicitly bike-related names.

Possibly something like Creamery, The Scoop, The Project, The _ Ice Cream Co but I'm very open to suggestions! Help please hivemind...

I like DaisyBell Ices etc as one word.

drigon · 28/06/2019 01:27

Sorry, I meant Daisy-Belle.

Tillygetsit · 28/06/2019 02:26

Just playing around with the sound...how about BellaDaisy?

Also,consider how you want to make your buyers feel. I'm getting that you want them to feel like they're making a posh purchase. Something a little up from the norm that makes them feel good not just from the taste but from a degree of self gratification from appreciating the nicer things in life.

To be fair your product could equally be a dessert, so maybe that could be an angle that could also take an expansion in product lines.

The Dessertsmith?

The DessertMonger - monger isn't as attractive but implies locally sourced, small, and traditional mongers came around localities as you intend to.

So sorry, the whole thread hadn't loaded before I replied. Your suggestion is great, but I've never heard of the song, so may not be understood by all.

Decormad38 · 28/06/2019 05:03

Use your own name with twist. Then it's your brand.

CadburysTastesVileNow · 28/06/2019 06:34

How about ...

'Winter Is Coming'

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 03/07/2019 20:04

I like just Daisy & Belle

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 03/07/2019 20:05

Or Daisy & Belle's

A quick Google search shows a Daisy Belle Ice Cream in Mississippi

reesewithoutaspoon · 04/07/2019 00:22

you could always switch the names to Belle and Daisy's
but it does conjour up country cottage kitchen vibes

ElizaPancakes · 04/07/2019 00:36

I like your idea but I especially like something with Creamery in the name. I don't know why, maybe it sounds a bit homey, and bit traditional but also luxurious?!

I'm never keen on puns - hair salons are guilty of those.

But I liked an early post of
The Nice Cream Co

You could also go for an oxymoron
The Hot Ice Cream Co

as they make people curious and are memorable

HappydaysArehere · 04/07/2019 01:17

Yummy ice cream treats.

LellyMcKelly · 04/07/2019 05:03

If you have a good surname just use that - Galbraith Family Ice Creams or similar.

Your local scoop?

QueenBeee · 04/07/2019 06:18

It's very nice, maybe a bit of a mouthful - Just Daisy Belle would do imv.

RighteousSista · 05/07/2019 05:55

Nice ice baby!

Avoid 'scoop' (makes me think of pooper scoopers) Hmm

floribunda18 · 05/07/2019 06:51

Daisy's Creamery works much better, IMO.
