I need a name for a business ASAP

[Media Boy]

I'm actually a well paid, marketing and pr professional. So, I'd go with, "Poopy Pants Remodeling."

Gee, who'd have guessed?

If you are going to use the Internet to advertise, or people want to look you up open the net, you might want to think twice about using difficult search names...

On the other hand, a unique name would stand out more on a search. "Indiana home renovation" gives me 1m google hits, Ihoren gives 5,500.

If you just need a quick name to get incorporated you can name it anything then give it a dba later.

Good point.

IMO, short, sweet & to the point is the best.

Don't go with cute and/or flashy, funny, catch-phrases or names. Looks un-professional.

Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to be cute about it. I want something that will sound good on a business card, I just don't want my name in it.

There won't be any advertising. The public will have no reason to find me. Regardless, I still want something that doesn't sound silly when someone asks me what I do.

I wasn't intending to only mean your full name. You can use your partner and your's initials like "JPM Restorations", for example, and it will be generic and professional.

Barring that, I would use a geographic feature that says something about the area you are working in. I live near the Catawba River in North Carolina, so there are plenty of East Catawba Pipe or Riverview Plumbing type deals around that is a clue to where they work, and it's easy to find a geographic feature that has a good ring to it.

Oh, be sure to use words that seem positive to an average person off the street when they hear them. Renovation, restoration, renewal all sound positive; but remodeling or construction have a negative connotation. Not to me or you who like it, but a person hiring you is hiring you because they don't like that type of work - it reminds them of hot, hard projects and perhaps their own failures - so giving it a positive spin will make them feel better about your services. (I hope that makes sense!)

And if you're really stuck, have numb make a poll.
