Help us name DH's company

Ok, this is not the first and certainly won't be the last post requesting help for DH's new company, but please bear with me, hope you don't get board.

Anyway, we thought we had come up with a good name but DH is wavering so we would love your ideas.

Basically there are different ways you can name your company (e.g. your name) or the two that we are considering are a descriptive name (e.g. Premier Photography, Wedding Photography, British Telecom or one that is on here Nipper Snappers - brilliant) or a completely random name (e.g. Amazon, Orange Mobile). We are veering between these two styles. So the business is photography, specialising in babies/children/families (but not exclusively), aiming at the middle class afluent market in our area.

The vision DH wants to evoke with the name is professionalism, but family friendly. He thinks light is important in photography, and his style is natural, unposed, candid lifestyle photography, ideally in an outdoor setting.

Importantly it has to be fairly unique and we need to be able to get a fairly top level domain for it. The name that he was considering is Starfish Photography (i.e. totally random) but he doesn't think it is catchy or professional enough.

That was a really long post but hopefully enough to be getting on with! Fill yer boots

DH liked the idea of a random foreign word, but obviously people have to be able to pronounce it, Etoile is lovely but I think the pronunciation might put people off calling

Sorry to criticise all the ideas, they are all brilliant, it just has to feel right IYKWIM? But I knew you'd would all be able to come up with some corkers.

Could it be something completely random and unrelated to photography?

Try a colour with a nice noun.

Eg. Purple Cloud.

Or a description with an imitative word (a word that sounds like the action) such as Splash, click or Pop.

Eg. Big Splash

LOL at the slappersnappers idea, I actually asked DH today if he would consider doing glamour photography (or just tasteful nekkid shots). You can imagine what his answer was

I suggested he could offer a special package for recording pregnancy bumps.

While it would be mainly family stuff, the name would have to be professional enough so that he could do corporate/events/product stuff and still appeal.

he just suggested Aura Photography, but I pointed out that that is an actual style of photography that he might to want to imply that he does

DH said he thought of Blithe as it meant happy, but it also means:

2 : lacking due thought or consideration

Accurate maybe but perhaps not the vision he wants people to have of him.

OK, update from DH (I'm trying to get some vision from him here) he would like one word if possible, but chances are most ideas relating to photography are going to be taken (limelight - good but very common) so it will have to be quite random, the light thing was just a guide. Other directions are naturistic, organic. So quite a random word, but evocative of his ethos.

Sorry, he is being really fussy! Thanks for sticking with us
