Was going to say ...wft?! Grin

Coco Bella as bedazzled makes me think of vajazzle although maybe you do them?

Both sound like the kind of business where you could get a bit more than a massage iykwim

BlueIvy · 09/01/2012 16:51

Bedazzled is better, although quite gimmicky.

Coco Bella...hmm...sounds like a brothel.

Coco Bella does sound like an up-market sex shop, but I like it for that (think Coco de Mer). Depends on the image you are going for, I guess!

The bedazzle/vajazzal mental connection is also a good point...

user59457812 · 09/01/2012 17:00

Coco bella could also translate to 'beautiful coconut' (although I appreciate you're probably using Coco as a woman's name!)

Anything starting with Be- makes me think the word is going to be Bejapers.

Coco Bella is a bit cheapo nightclub.

I would nick a name from the world of all things Zen/ Japanese (but be careful you have the meaning right).

Thankyou everyone!Fuckfuckity(great name)-I agree that they could sound a little 'risque' etc and don't want to put myself in any weird situations or be thought of a complete different type of 'massuese' etc!
Hotpink-Coco de mer is lovely could Coco Bella be seen the same?Another Coco name?or just give up on that?!!)
Olympic-Vajazzle and Bedazzled haha yes I see that!No I don't offer those although I think they're popular round this way!!(not that I have one!)
Mathanxiety-YOU helped me make a decision on my dcs name..my username is different now but how great to see you on MNSmile
Coco Bella could sound like a naff club I can see that..for a moment of madness thought(hoped)it was exotic/pretty etc!
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thankyou everyone so muchSmile

No suggestions ( sorry) but anything 'bedazzled' does sound like 'vajazzled'. The second name is fine, think you could use a little more thinking time though. Very best of luck with your business! Exciting times Smile.

mamalovesmojitos · 09/01/2012 20:24

I think coco belle would be better than bella but I wonder if it sounds too related to coco de mer...

mathanxiety · 09/01/2012 20:26

Bellissima?

squeak2392 · 10/01/2012 17:49

I like Coco Bella. Makes me think of sunny Spain :) (not the night club scene though).

I think Bedazzled Beauty sounds a bit cheap, tbh.

There is a "Bejazzeled Beauty" near me and it took me ages to work out that it wasn't Vajazzled... Blush

Think about the branding. What sort of clients do you want to attract? What sort of services do you want to sell? What sort of person are you? What kind of colours/themes are you going to use?

For example, if you want to attract teens/students/WAG types I would go with the above. If you want to attract older/professional clients I would go wiht something to do with the self/oriental/relaxation/luxury.

Is there one main thing you do? ie mostly do faketan - Sunshine theme. Mostly do nails - Sparkles theme. Mostly do massage - Relax theme.

I'm sure you've thought about this, but I don't really love either name, and I can't tell from the name what sort of place it is.

PS - butterflies very "in" at the moment? And are an easy brand in terms of website/fliers, and appeal to a broad range.

They both sound cheap and nasty to me, sorry. About as far from professional as I could imagine. Think very carefully through all the questions TuesdayNightClub has suggested, you must be able to come up with something better?

JestersHat · 11/01/2012 10:28

Have a look in a Thesaurus and find some other words with a similar meaning but perhaps without the tacky associations mentioned above.

For example, bedazzled... gleam, sparkle, illuminate, glow
