So, you’ve got a great handmade business idea, you’ve gathered your supplies, you’ve mastered your craft, and now you just need to come up with a name for your new shop! That should be the easy part, right?
I don’t know about you, but naming things is one of the hardest things for me and if you’re like me, I’ll let you in on how to come up with the best name for your business.
I have a number of businesses of my own, from Creative Hive to my handmade jewelry shop Tiny Hands and I just launched a new shop with my husband that’s doing really well, so I have plenty of experience coming up with names for businesses that bring in a lot of money.

Thank you Mei. Discovered you 2days back and have been obsessed with your vids. I'm planning to start an eco-friendly clothing business! Some eco-printed tote bags and/or naturally dyed cotton kurtas will do! I remember your "Do not diversify while starting", so I'll start with one. Coming up with names_ecotire, ecodrobe, ecoparel, ecoration, ecomirah(from almirah meaning wardrobe_Indian English) Either no word strikes or a flood of them does😅

What do you advise to do when the domain name you want is already owned by someone, but they're not actually using it (i.e. type in the web address and it goes to a page that says the domain might be for sale, rather than an actual website)?

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

Hi Rosa, you can always look into how much the cost is to purchase the domain. However if it's out of your price range not to worry. You can try adding a word onto it like "shop" or "studio".

I create mostly christmas ornaments in leather. durable and recycled. I have done so for a number of years under the name Noelle Collections. but now I am beginning to consider to sell online and there is a clothing line with almost the same spelling. I am rather attached to the name Noelle as it is the feminine version of christmas in french. what can I match it with. Design, christmas or what.

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

I think Noelle Collections is a great name, particularly if you're making Christmas ornaments. noellecollections.com is available (as is noelcollections.com - I would grab them both!) so I would go for it.

@PPruittToo 3 года назад

Biggest struggle coming up with a name! I collect and sell vintage items and upcycle/repurpose other items for home decor. So many of the names I've thought of are already being used. The most recent consideration is Rusty Pearl (rusty for the old items I use and pearl because that's my name). Goal is to have a booth in an antique mall setting. Any feedback would be appreciated!

@Judy1957 3 года назад

I love it! It screams upscale vintage, in a good way.

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

rustypearlvintage.com is available, so you could use that as your online "handle" name. For your branding, your cards could always say like "Rusty Pearl: upscale vintage" or (whatever your tagline is) and use the word "vintage" there rather than in the full business name. (I hope that makes sense, it does in my head. 😆)

@daniellemiller8073 2 года назад

So I had been brain storming my business name and I always thought of the name ”Danistique Designs” like fantastic and unique mixed with my name but, when I had brought it up to my mom she said that people would get confused on how to say or pronounce it and sorta squashed that idea. Then she had the idea to use a generator site that take words associated with your business and generates brandable name for you to use and one of the results was “Byoudani”. This name sounds really good when you say it but when I went to my friends for their opinion they where having a hard time pronouncing it so I had to explain it to them. So my question is should I stick to my guns or choose a different name that fit with my business directive? Also does having my name directly associated with my name have any set backs?

@CreativeHiveCo 2 года назад

Hi Daniella! Great question! I think you should go with something that's easy to remember. It doesn't have to be a complicated one. Good luck!! Hope you find your winning business name soon!! ❤️❤️

@MsCarlecia 3 года назад

I'm thinking of naming my skincare line Luminesique. I love the word glow and I didn't want to put body in the name so I found synonyms for each word and combined them. But Mei says the name should be short so I don't know what to do. What do you guys think?

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

The problem with this name is that it's not an intuitive spelling so people are either going to get lost on the way to your site, or you are going to be constantly explaining to people how to spell it. There are also a lot of beauty companies that are already using variations of "glow" and "luminescence" so that may be a little saturated.

@Momoyue 2 года назад

I went through several names before deciding on the one I have currently. I still feel insecure about it though for some reason? I think it's because it sounds like a great name for a food shop. But I plan on selling food themed crafts so it should work right? I spent so long thinking of the name and I honestly do like it. I think I'm just trying to justify my use of it. Hopefully if I just use it more, I'll become more confident about it.

@CreativeHiveCo 2 года назад

If you like the name, and you think it fits what you're making, then go for it!

Chihuahua was a nickname I had in college because I was so little and I was pretty scrappy about getting my ideas across. I’ve named my quilting and sewing business “The Scrappy Chihuahua” referring to the scraps used in quilting. I’m worried that “chihuahua” may be difficult to spell for some people. Am I worrying for nothing?

@gabvillacarlos1221 3 года назад

Hello, I've recently put some interest on starting a small building especially handmade since I'm into arts and crafts. But I'm still searching and exploring more what I can possibly sell for my business and learn how to make them. In naming my business, I was wondering if it is okay to name my business as "Gavril Studio" because it is somehow relevant to my name and the studio are commonly known to be a workplace for creative works. I've also check it and the domain is available as well. Thank you!

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

Hi Gabrielle! I would possibly determine what your products are going to be before choosing a name so that you know that the name will match what you make. Gavril Studio is unique, you just have to determine if people will have trouble spelling/understanding "Gavril" since it's not a common word.

@newbiekitty3528 3 года назад

Always a great video! I have a name for my shop that I used for a few years on Etsy and Facebook. What if it is taken when I make a website. Do I alter it a little?

@CreativeHiveCo 3 года назад

Yes, you could alter it slightly and just make sure that the IG and FB handles are also available. If it's similar and you have followers already I would try to keep the first part of the name the same for recognizability.

@CreativeHiveCo 2 года назад

It's best for people to be able to find you and to also associate you with the brand they know. If the channel name doesn't fit with your business and you plan on using that channel with your business then I would recommend changing the name. If your YT is going to be completely separate and not mentioned by your business/brand, then it's okay to keep it as is.

I have been a bag and wallet maker for several years. I actually was learning to sew and sell at the same time, which I don't recommend. I have tried rebranding recently, but things have slowed even more. I have had a lot of support from friends and family, but now I have little to no sales. I honestly don't know about making bags and wallets as my main products anymore. I am finding it less fulfilling and enjoyable and more time consuming and arduous. I've started contract sewing children's clothing for a small shop. I'm enjoying the sewing so much more! I love the quicker turn around time too! I am seriously thinking about moving into changing my business into a children's clothing business. I am wondering if my DBA I recently rebranded will work? What do you think of Laura Katherine Designs for children's clothing? My LLC is In Shadowed Wings LLC. I'm also apprehensive out of concern to ending up in the same unsuccessful slump. I also have a lot of bag making supplies. I'm just not really sure how to proceed from here. I'm wondering if I should close up shop and start from scratch? I just want to sew from home and make money to support my family and make the most of my working time. Help!
