With many people possibly considering starting their own businesses, I often find that they struggle to come up with a suitable name. Using your own initials is a common solution but can lead to some unfortunate company names, especially if your initials are WC, STD or STI
Best advice I can give, is that although the business name is important, people should really consider the whole branding exercise when choosing a name. The ones that dont, usually end up re-branding after a year or two.

Thanks everyone for your generous support and advice.
To be honest, I did decide and it's called Hoolet.
You can find out why at www.hoolet.co.uk - or you can guess here!
Although, is it too late to change to Mearns Magic?...
Welcome (again) Joanna! I hope you find your name soon, let us know what you decide on!
Welcome to ABN Joanna!
Thanks Lynn
Joanna Fraser Communications? Or JF Communications? JFC? Mearns Magic?? But as Mark said, check the options thoroughly before you push the button!
Welcome to ABN Joanna!

Thanks for that, Mark.
You're right, there are a lot of initials about. And a lot of people's names, which I completely understand if you have a (good) reputation...
Hi Joanne, No tales on naming a business, just wanted to say welcome to ABN! ☺️
