Question Another name question

Okay,
I already read the other recent name question and it confirms a lot of what I was thinking. I'm in FL so the cost is the same unless I use only my legal name and no additional words.
I'm sort of in the same boat at the other lady with a twist...I am branding an umbrella sort of corp to cover my crafting and tutoring too until something makes money and I can commit to one thing.
I have been using my initials for years but they are DAME...not pretty.
I love the saying "Shoot for the moon even if you miss you'll land among the stars" but I think you should appreciate being there and not mope about failing your big goal.

I'm young, I love shooting little guys and baby bumps. I have a "weird" eye according to many.

Default TV Show

I'm not a TV fan, but isn't there a popular TV series here in the US with a name similar to "Dancing with the Stars" or something like that? If I'm vaguely familiar with your trade name and I'm trying to find you so I can hire you, I'll try googling a couple of different word combinations that I can remember. Are you going to get lost among the thousands of youtube clips, fan pages, and other things that are completely unrelated to your business?

I appreciate that you like the saying, but someone else beat you to it with a much more prominent business. My advice is to try a different name than the options shown.

Yeah I think you will just get lost with a name like that. I see nothing wrong with DAME it is simply and easy to remember. But if you really want something else how about "Shooting Star"

I'd say knock all of those on the head unless you're a dance company :P

Default New name choice

What about BlueFrog, INC? I used blufrog as my aol screen name back in the day. It's quirky and fits the "weird" eye. I'm just concerned it's too trendy to represent my work.

I agree! When I first read your titles I thought of a dance studio
