something purposely misspelled so people will report the correct spelling to the ftc.

I named mine Online Beach because I was planning on moving to the beach and working online. I'm so clever :P

I also co-owned Byte Me for a bit and Georgia Recreational Surfaces when I was married.

IOW, I have no advice for naming companies but I'm really bad at it.

Do you still like the beach? I thought GA mountains were your first choice.

It almost smacks of checking to see whether the domain name is available first, before deciding upon a physical name. You could try directnic.com and see what names are available and try a few keywords?

Lee,

Post some more specifics on company or PM them and can take a shot... Found one five letter domain available that is double entendre but could look innocent enough depending on presentation.

Take the most popular company out there and add an "S" to their name and BINGO!

You are sure to get a lot of attention that way

Very difficult to find a cool company name that also has its .com version left on the net. You may have to go to a .biz domain, or use some basterdization of the name.

I have a great name for my new traffic company, but the domain for the company was take. Which was crazy because I thought it was pretty unique. I may offer to buy the domain. Though honestly, I have 1,000 domains - I can use something else in a pinch.

Small world. I lived in Hatteras for a while Peaches. Dishwasher and prepcook at the Froggy Dog in Avon. I was an official "implant" there once I spent my first winter where all the stores close down at 5 pm. If you don't have your beer or cigs at that point...you better hope you got some good friends lol. Different world down there for sure.
Yes, one of my first years there I needed some, ahem, feminine products and went to buy them after dinner. Nope. I learned to plan better after that.

I do love it when there's no one there though. I'm the one on the beach in 40 degree weather with the wind whipping, wrapped up in coats and blankets, reading a book and happier than a pig in shit

Taffic Inc.

Perfect IMHO.

Net related but not shouting "Porn"

Thats what I do.

Btw I had a bank here in Canada, once they realised that the monies arose from "Adult Entertainment" ask me to leave there bank..

seriously...

Get really good tax advice too.

Have a weekend in Guernsey or Jersey , mate ;-)))

Yeah, a company name with 'con' in it was a wise pick

One of my mainstream friends named mine....

They always used to laugh and say.... "So how goes the Evil Empire?"

It was fun getting the name reservation from the Sec of State to Inc.

It's a matter of picking what's available for me.

I gotta have the ".com" for the corporation, so search starts with finding a cool name that has the ".com" also available.

If that's available, then it's time to check with secretary of state to see if anyone else is also using it.
