Help me come up with a classy, beautiful, company name, a.s.a.p.

Hey FChat,

Today I am starting my first company, a holding company for any projects I decide to do in the future. I am working on a project now with investors and need to set up a company for signing the contract, and incase I want to invest in any ideas in the future I will have it here for me.

Most people I've talked to tell me its easier to come up with a name if you know what your company stands for, but scratch that! The name of my company can be anything, I don't like to limit myself.

What am I looking for?

Beautiful
Classy
Luxurious
Professional
Sharp

Here are some examples of names I really enjoy:

Brawn GP (Braun is a nice looking word as well)
North Kingdom (A design company from Sweden)
Bang & Olufsen
Weiden + Kennedy
Saatchi & Saatchi
Design Chapel
Audi SA
Aston Martin
Paris DDB
Barcelona
Geneve (or Geneva)
Hublot

Some of these are names, if you can put some names together then so be it! I really enjoy French & German words, they can be translated from English or be a surname, or first name.

Although this is only a holding company, I want to be proud of it. Something I can use on quality business cards(I am a designer and like to keep on top of things like this).

I come to FC because I feel as you all might have similar tastes and I have seen how intelligent most of the members are. I have been at this for days and tonight is the night to set it up. I can't wait much longer as I need to get the contract signed the investors sent over.

Short names work well too, one I came up with was "BLCK" (for BLACK), it would be a nice name. Also the German word Reich which translates to rich or empire.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I hope you are interested in sharing ideas, I am about all out.

Thank you all very much, and I look forward to see what input you have.

Best,
Trevor

 

yeah, I'd steer away from that one.

 

He should be ok for the first 2 projects.

 

I think some Latin words tend to sound classy. Supremus, altus, silex, sententia, formosus

 

Not to divert this off topic, but can anyone also come up with a hand crafted artisan brownie company name?

 

Hey guys,

That sounded sarcastic so I'm going to take the good guess that Reich is already taken?*

*Edit, Just noticed it was the name of the "Third Reich", I can see why it would be a very poor choice.

I do like Latin words although they just don't feel fully there for what I'm looking for.

Best,
Trevor

 

Not to double post, but the time to edit my previous has passed. I just wanted to say, good one Amenasce. I just reread it, very good

 

A little like the pimpley faced marketeers at McLaren Mercedes wanting to use Hitlers "Silver Arrows" again!! :-(

 

Here are few off the top of my head:

Corinthian (Chrysler used the term "Corinthian leather" even though it meant nothing, it just sounded good)

Leone Enterprises (Italian for lion)

Lincoln & Lincoln (subconsciously Lincoln means honesty and leadership)

Bella (Italian for beautiful)

 

Trevor, Inc.

 

Maybe your logo could be a stylized sailor saluting.

And of course the name of the company: Brown Aye

 

"My Starfish Creations!!!"

"Cow Patties Creations"

"Sphincter Biscuits"

 

Sexpest Holdings
Genital Warts Holdings
Ponzi Holdings

I'd struggle to pick between 1 and 3.

 

wax & wax

pert & perky

 

The answer is right there in the question:

"The Classy Beautiful Company" in German actually
sounds kind of cool:

"Noble Schöne Firma"

You could shorten it to NSF.... probably won't look good on company checks though.

Brilliant in it's simplicity, Jedi.

 

ponzi sounds like a cool name, very professional

 

Grand Tetons holdings!

Why?

it's classy --- French
it's sexy -- it means big boobs
it's sharp -- well, the best ones are "pointy"
it's luxurious -- make really great "pillows"
it's professional -- for $50, you can touch 'em!

 

Taken, sorry. Quite a challenge to find a great unique name.

GRAND TETON HOLDINGS, LLC

P.O. BOX 50130

In all seriousness, how about Chamonix?

Eights characters, European, beautiful pronunciation, stunningly beautiful place........

Chamonix LLC
Chamonix Group
Chamonix Partners
Chamonix Holdings

FYI, there is a Chamonix Private Equity in London, but that should be of no issue for your uses.

 

Bella Leone (just combining 2 words from some previous posts)

RMX

 

How about "ChamWow" ? ? ?

You could go 'CBC'

C = Classy
B = Beautiful
C = Company

 

Hi Trevor,

I have friends who do this for a living (and they don't solicit amateurs on internet forums). For your future plans, I bet you can't afford not to spend the requisite six figures to develop the best brand possible. Feel free to PM me.

Best regards,

b-mak

P.S. I just love that term 'classy'. It means a lot.
