Tips for everyone:
Tips for Namees, the name seekers:
Don't Be A Dick. You are asking people to volunteer their time to help you out; be nice.
A wall of text is better than a one liner. If it is for a new endeavor, give us your pitch and fully describe it to us.
Feel free to link to some pics.
Press enter twice between paragraphs to break up that beautiful wall of text.
Tips for Namers, the givers of names:
Don't Be A Dick. Feel free to ask for more info or question something, but be nice about it.
Press enter twice between each name suggestion to separate them for easier reading.
Use an asterisks, *, at the start of each line to make your suggestions into bullet points for even easier of reading.
Try brackets ( ) when I want to explain something about a name, eg to explain that it is the name a of a norse god, or a portmanteau of word1+word2 and so on.

I know there has to be some hilarious puns or innuendos
I love anything that deals with oranges, the color and fruit! :) My name starts with a C so I thought about using the word "Citrus" but I don't like anything I've come up with. Any help is appreciated!
I don't really want "Crochet" in my business name bc I plan to sell other crafty things in the future.
INAN for a non-profit that will fundraise to support healthcare benefits for underprivileged communities. Some of the immediate goals of the non-profit are :(a) to fundraise money to support a NGO in India that provides free diagnostic tests to rural communities , and b) fundraise for a foundation in US that buys medical debt to erase medical debts for uninsured/poor individuals. Looking for a generic name that signifies giving a fair chance to everyone with empathy and care
Back in the days of DC++ I stumbled upon a series of horror stories that got stuck in my head and for some time I've been trying to find them again to share with some friends but I am unsuccessful.
I don't remember much besides the plots of some of these stories (some felt like they are somewhat related or I remember incorrectly).
The one that I remember the best is the first story:
It was about a man which gets a link to some website via mail and when he access it, it's a stream to a room with a person that's tied to a chair and there are buttons on the side that any user can decide what happens to the person (poke right eye with pen / cut left hand with chainsaw etc.). The site shuts down or something like that but he becomes obsessed with trying to find it, goes on various shady websites and long story short he ends up on a forest path where eventually finds a mansion or something like that, approaches it and rings the gate, goes inside and something happens (forgot if he drank something or was just hit in the head) and wakes up with a hood on his head. He realizes eventually he's in the room he was obsessed to find.
One other short story was about some mad man that was in an asylum and he had some other dude outside that kept trying to find a way to get him out, or (again, I am not sure my memory is good on these stories, I remember bits and pieces and they were quite weird stories xD) or summon him somehow because he was the devil or something like that. He eventually transforms in a bat/moth/cockroach, something that can fit in through the jail window bars.
Another short story was something about a group of friends that were into the occult or something like that and they read from a book (which I think, though I might remember wrong, was written by the mad man from before) and then they kind of fall asleep and crazy things start happening, such as one of them starts killing them or something crazy.
Again, I am sure my memory is failing me a lot and I'm mixing probably bits and pieces and I'm probably also remembering wrong but this was a series of dark horror stories that felt quite amateurish but fairly well done (as far as I remember).
My girlfriend is looking for a name for her artist brand to use at exhibitions, instagram, and on a website. She does oil, acrylic, and watercolour. Painting on canvas and selling prints. She paints mainly abstract portraits.
We would like to have her name somehow incorporated into the brand name. Her name is "Elodie" or "El".
Many thanks!
Yes, you read that right. I've made a working deck of cards and a shuffler in minecraft. Just need a name for the place. Please make it as unhinged as you like
really anything helps!!
This is a little complicated to explain. So you know how anglicisation typically refers to taking a non-English name and altering it to be more English? I need a word for that but not English.
In my book there's 20+ cultures each of which have unique names. But in the annual event that combines cultures, those with the more cultural names are forced to go by a version that's easier for everyone (such as Freaghna to Frayna).
The main culture that forces this is the government of Darmeda but the world as a whole is called Vereint. I need a possible name idea for what this process could be called in their world.
Thanks.
Hello, so sorry if this isn't the right subreddit for this, but I'm looking for a name for my new tarantula. His roommate, a Desert Hairy Scorpion, is named Roswell, so I'm looking to stick with the theme of UFO/Alien town/city/location names. It doesn't matter if the names are masculine or feminine, not only am I not confident in the sex of my tarantula but also it's a spider, it's not like he cares
I'm working on a personal project just for fun, and I need a last name for an adventurous sci-fi spaceship Captain. If you need an idea, the first name I came up with is Mal.
We meet up once a month for a wine night (or ciders/drinks) and movie. The movies are all cult classics and notoriously bad movies (think: The Room, Troll 2, Zombievers, etc.).
A start up studio builds ventures from the ground up.
We like punny names, as long as they don't get too old too quickly and are not overtly offensive.
My favourite business name is still the boring company.
Help please!
Combing my art & sensory studio for young kids with a cafe for a rebrand.
Stuck on what to call this new venture, but want to let go of my current brand as it is very generic and doesn’t encompass the community gathering vibe we are trying to cultivate…
We really like the idea of our new brand narrative being bee centric- think honey bees, buzzing hive, community, warmth, sweet honey, caffeine buzz etc.
There is already a business (separate industry) that uses “Hive” in their name across the street from our desired brick and mortar location, so we’ve kind of ruled that out.
TLDR: looking for a name for a cafe/art community space inspired by bees without using “hive”
Halp! Thanks in advance internet strangers!
I am wanting to start my own structural engineering firm soon and I'm trying to figure out a name for it!! I will be doing mostly residential structural engineering for single-family homes.
My current top pick is Hestia Engineering. Hestia is the Greek goddess of the home, hearth, architecture and good building. I like the nod to femininity (as I am a woman), but I wonder if it is too cringy?
My other ideas are obviously (Married)LastName Engineering, but although it's my last name, it doesn't feel like me. And also Initials Engineering, which does feel like me, and is very common, but it's not very creative and isn't very memorable/could get lost in the crowd.
I could always use something like Right Angle Engineering or Strong Oak Engineering, something generic that relates to structures, but I'm not overly fond of that idea.
Any thoughts or ideas?!
Its basically a fundraising comptetion type thing. theres three people in my team if that helps

I’m opening a secondhand toy store and have no idea what to name it.
Not that this needs to be incorporated but I purchased a store that used to be a house. The exterior still looks like a house.
I want kids to see the sign, know it’s a toy store and beg their parents to go. I would love some help if anyone has any ideas. Thank you!!!

It has a few disconnected small villages, has one bigger-ish city (think maybe 10k) surviving off an industrial plant, and is cut in two by an interstate. It could be anywhere east of the Missisippi and north of Tennessee

Hi friends! I’m the manager at an upscale Asian restaurant and I’ve created a shot that I need an Asian inspired name!
The recipe is Bacardi Mango Chile, Cointreau, house made sour mix, and a muddled Arbol chile!

TIA!
