Our family is building an active leisure venue that allows customers
to learn and practice all the skills of Soccer, its similar in concept
to a golf range facility. We are using 'Soccer range' as a working
title, but feel its too boring and generic and can't be protected.
We need a name that is -Cool-trendy-unique-new-catchy-descriptive and
can be an internationally recognised brand like 'Virgin' 'Nike' or
'Shell', can anyone help with providing a list of possible names

I dont think we have it yet, please keep going I am sure there's a
great name out there somewhere.
To the researcher who suggested that payment would not be forthcoming
even if a name was,well I'd guess you were a pessimist, allowing for
the fact that there are a few of you out there I can only suggest you
trust me,and that Google Answers be the log for new names, as for your
insightful suggestion that the job be assigned to one researcher, it
sort of destroys the point of Google Answers doesnt it? to ask one
person to be creative on tap, rather than using hundreds of minds, any
of which could have exactly the right word/s,if you used your own 
time in being creative instead of carping perhaps we could both profit

Hi Cliffo,

A lot of people have thrown in some names for you here, and you
specifically commented on one thought that we wouldn't be compensated.
Perhaps you haven't found a name you like, or perhaps someone is close
and you would like more ideas along that line. The basic request I
have here is that you comment one way or the other. Pick someone, ask
for more clarification or get us all to start again.

Hi Guys,
        sorry I still dont think that we are there yet.....
some of you have come up with some good ideas but as yet no great ones..
if you re-read the question you will see that we are after a name that
will grab attention and be unique, ie; Nike, Shell, Virgin,( as well
as International)

these are great and special brands, and they have grown to transform and
transcend the word that constitutes their name and thats what i am after,
its hard I know as this is really quite a subjective area,but please
keep trying and I will keep sorting, any names I already have are
logged in on my email so I have proof of who and when it was thought
of, so please rest assured we will recognise whoever comes up with the
'winner'if at all , and many thanks again to those who have submitted
names already cheers, cliffo ga

The problem here is with a number of researchers providing a list of
possible names there is no way to assure compensation for any creative
effort put into the project. Researchers are also leary of investing
too much time in these "business name" questions because in other
instances the fee was not forthcoming as promised. Perhaps you can
choose a specific researcher with whom you'd like to work on this
project and you'll probably see much better results.

Well to stay in the whole training camp Idea and having a range and all how does  

"Goal in One" 

sound  (little play on Hole in one) , since i am not a google
researcher and can not receive any cash is you decide to select this
name I humbly request you send the money to any Childrens make a whish
foundation in stead

Please understand I have not done any search on these names so I don't
know if any of them are already in use or not.  But I also thought
this might be kind of fun and we may stumble on something worthwhile
by accident.  And since I'm not a soccer player, my ignorance may be a
blessing.  I tend to avoid any activity where something may hit me in
the head.  I was dropped on it once as a baby and that has been my
excuse ever since.

Woops!!

"Buttheads & Dummy Runs  - (Academy, Range, Pitch, etc)" - should have
been "Headbutts & Dummy Runs"

Really don't think you would get too many people by calling them names :)

Then again????

Hi cliffo-ga

How about... 

SoccerZone

KickZone

These can be played around with, adding a space in between words
"Soccer Zone" or "Kick Zone".  You can also add "The" - The Soccer
Zone - The Kick Zone etc.

Short name, great for branding, marketing and ad copy generally and I
expect also a welcome relief to graphic designers who would soon turn
the "cc" in Soccer into "kicking legs", the "o's" into Footballs and
so on!  lol!

All the best with this great business idea!  Look forward to seeing
you supporting your new world "SoccerZone" franchise organisation via
Sponshorship of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010!!  :)

"To the researcher who suggested that payment would not be forthcoming

With regard to "business naming" projects, I rest my case.
