Kind of an unusual request for Google Answers...it would be difficult
to qualify a right or wrong response. But, what the heck…
Let’s see… Clutter-be-gone, The Arranger, Uncluttler, No Imbroglio,
Wizard of Entropy, The Disembroiler….
Mmm, all very good but I vote for ‘Systématique’
Of course if you don’t trust my judgment you could give $24.95 to
these geniuses...http://www.creative-name-generator.com/
Or you could try ‘A Hundred Monkeys’…they promise to find the company
or product name that is right for your business. But, with an name
like A Hundred Monkeys they've got to be expensive…

Now you’ve checked around, decided I was right, and chosen
‘Systématique’ you need to find out if it is already in use. Searching
registered business names in Oregon is free so either you are going to
have to move down here or fork up some cash to search the Canadian
Corporate Registry. https://www.bconline.gov.bc.ca/
Search (from your own computer) $7.00 plus a service charge, but its
Canadian.
Or maybe not, this is from the Corporate Registry Users Guide, “There
is no charge for scanning the Name Selection screens, and there is no
charge if the search indicates that a company has changed its name or
amalgamated. At this time, there is no charge for searching any of the
firm information. A search fee will be assessed when you select a
corporation name for display.”
Uh…what?
I found this interesting – from FAQ section of the site….
“Can I reserve a name for a corporation if it is already used by a
Partnership or a Proprietorship?
Yes, the Corporate Registry does not protect the names of Partnerships
and Proprietorships. Corporate Names however, are fully protected by
Corporate Registry. Partnership and Proprietorship names are checked
to ensure that they do not conflict with Corporations on file at the
Registry.”
I think this means you'd better incorporate.
Now, if you have found that no corporation is using the name, you can
register it at the same site, and then ask me to submit this as an
answer.
