Hello Ladies
I'm biting the bullet and after two babies i'm starting my own business from home of cake making and balloons and i need a catchy name that says what i do but is different. I'm really struggling - the name is so important as the business is starting to take off and i have to live with the name forever (hopefully eek !)
I have no idea's at all so please all fire them at me !! lots of love and thanks

How do the balloons and cakes relate to each other? Sorry if I'm being thick. Are they gifts? OR as party supplies? And are you planing and sticking with just cake and balloons or going into other party things. What's different about your cakes? Are you targeting a specific area or nationwide? Is it an online business?

A few more details please

Chocs Away is fantastic. To be honest though I would separate the two businesses. Unless you provide cakes and balloons together for a party.
I would name the business more along the lines of parties and celebration rather than trying than merge the two.

There's some brilliant ideas here. Trouble is if you make it just about the cakes and the balloons that's very restrictive.

Cakes and balloons is quite specific but if it takes off (no pun intended!) you are quite likely to want to expand to other party stuff, decorations, party bags, maybe other food, so if it's called something very specific to do with cakes and balloons only, that might not be as appropriate.

I have no helpful ideas though...

I know its not ideal...but you can always change your name at a later date. I own a shop and really grew to dislike the name I'd chosen, it was a real mouthful. After about 2yrs I changed it to something much simplier/obvious and have never looked back

good luck

PinkPurple · 20/09/2008 09:48

I love "Chocs Away"

pointydog · 20/09/2008 11:57

You could just call it

Party! (with the exclamation mark)

I like that actually

singyswife · 20/09/2008 21:29

Let us know what you decide???
