I'm trying to come up with a company name.  Can you help or lead me in
the right direction.  My company is a start-up that will start off by
selling fashionable diaper bags but will eventually design other
products.  I came up with a few such as GGNY.com or GEEGEE.com but
they are taken.  The reason for the G's is that I wanted to somehow
get my daughters name in the company name: Gabriele and Gianna.  But I
will take any cool name.

Hello Mediatek01 ~

It's always hard to name a business, and your daughters are lucky you
are thinking of them when you want to name yours.

Why not combine portions of your daughters' names a bit differently. I
found the following domain names were available (June 18, 2003,
12:15pm PDT):

Using the letter *G*:

gabianna.com 	
gabrianna.info 	
giabri.com 	
giabrielle.com


Or put it up at the head of the head of the alphabet, using the letter
*A*:

abriagi.com
annagi.com

Or the letter *B*

briagi.com
brigia.com


The two i like are:

giabri.com
and
brigia.com

They have an "upscale" and slightly Italian sound to them which one
often connotes with fine shoes and handbags, it would be a small leap
to jump to fashionable diaper bags, plus give you room to expand your
line later on.

Thanks for the opportunity to do a little creative thinking,

Serenata

Dontcha think $5 is a little cheap to ask for a name for your
business? Consultants get paid thousands to come up with brand and
business names.

Is it still worth thousands if it takes a few minutes?

Did you know Nike paid only $35.00 for their 'swoosh' logo?

C'mon is all in fun and nobody is forcing anybody to do anything they
don't want to. =)

To danath-ga:
Obviously someone didn't think I was so cheap.  It probably took 5-10
minutes to answer my question.  Just about the same time it took you
to comment about my cheapness.  If you would've taken the same time to
help me out you might have been 6 dollars richer.

Good Day!

P.S. 6 dollars/5 minutes = 72 dollars an hour.  I might have overpaid.
