Ok, yesterday I started a discussion about my new online store, I'm just setting it up and not ready for business.
I am however having a problem with a catchy name for the store. For right now I have Handmade by Faith but I don't care for that and eventually would like to sell items for other people also so the name wouldn't fit.
So, once again I am calling on the creative members of myLot...
My daughter suggested "Faith's Store" but for search engine reasons I would like the name to include the words crafts, handmade, homemade, and/or arts - not necessarily all of them but some professional yet eye catching combination..
Little history here - I posted a discussion like this to another group years back when trying to decide on a domain name. One of the ladies in that group came up with byfaithonly - thus came www.byfaithonly.com (my name is Faith) it worked.

Oh thank you but I already have my domain, byfaithonly.com the store is installed on that domain. I decided to do that as byfaithonly is already indexed on most of the top search engines.

How about Have Faith Art, Homemade Faith, Handmade Faith, Crafty Faith...ok, so I'll keep thinking. It is tricky thinking of names. Good luck, and have Faith, it'll come to you. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

How about "Faith's Craft Store". It includes your name and crafts as you want it to be. It's just my suggestion.

I used to have a store, on eBay, I sold fur coats and named it Gottalovemyfurs, I have since given up selling furs but thought it was a cute name, how about Faithfully Yours as a name, kind of cute and catchy....

How about Homemade Treasures By Faith or Faith's Homemade Treasures. Something might pop into my head about 2:27 AM. lol. Tonight when you go to bed, ask yourself to come up with a name for your store. Maybe you will wake up with the perfect idea during the night.

LOL - the way I've been going I'll still be up at 2:27 a.m. and right now I'm seriously thinking of just leaving it 'The Store with No Name Yet", I've had tons of suggestions but nothing is just yelling 'this is it'. Yet most all of them are good, including yours... I like 'treasures' but not going to help me on the search engines.

I'm liking these but am wondering if the 'R' Us might be too closely associated with the toy store. I'm going to have to check into that.

I'm not good at coming up with names, but your underlying phrase could be something like, not by faith alone. You mentioned having items made by others. It's a little quirky, but it was the first thing that came to my mind. I'm sure you will come up with something really catchy. Good luck.

I went to your site and kicked it up and looked around at your store. It is designed very nice. The name that popped in my mind is:
Creativity Homemades
By Faith
Afghans and Keepsake
baby blankets lovingly
Made.
I will think some more and think if I can come up with some more names.

hi my dear friend..so are you opening an online shop?? wow sounds great..I am sure having a look and I wish you good luck..oh you are right names are important..i don't know what kind of items you are selling..so maybe you can either use a name like Faith's corner or "Buy Faith only"..just to use your present nickname in a more commercial and though funny way...So let's have a new statement..Buy Faith only!!! ok it is just an idea and a way to add my contribute to your discussion..let's see what you are deciding..have a nice day and I hope to hear from you soon

Actually I like both of these :) Afraid I can't do anything with the store until I finish this latest writing assignment but looking forward to doing more next week.

How about "Faith's Handmade Arts and Crafts" for a store name. I think that it gets the idea across what your product is about, and is also a catchy tame. It has good search terms for the search engines too, so it covers just about every area I can think of. I think that you have lots of good suggestions here already too.

I actually did some checking on 'arts and crafts' and the internet is swamped with that term - the big secret is to find terms or phrases that people use to search but that aren't already showing on the engines a million times.
It surprised me to find that 'homemade handmade' is searched very often but few sites using that phrase.
