I am in the midst of starting a company. My company will be technology based. I will be selling blank media, offering research services and importing and exporting.

I am looking for something with a professional ring to it.

how about "Re-Searching the Ports".  sounds kind of snappie and it would grab one`s attention.

thats a pretty good idea.

What do you mean, "blank media?" Despite what Nikole says, I`m guessing you`re not talking about 5-1/4" floppy disks.......right? I mean, everyone these days uses those new 3-1/2" floppies. Right? 

But more seriously....what ideas have you had so far, so we can maybe see where your imagination already is leading?

make sure to have a trademark search done on the ones you like

Its blank CD`s and DVD`s. I have been thinking about my kids initials like KBT.

My father needed a name for a shipping company. We`d all just gone to watch a movie, "Jason and the Argonauts," and were discussing the company name at dinners. My brother, I think he was about 8 at the time, suggested calling it "Argonaut Shipping." And by gosh....that`s what it ended up!

Not only doesn`t it matter if you use your kids` initials, I think it makes great cocktail party conversation when there`s a story behind the name of a company. The only issue you might have is if the initials are similar to another product, which may be well-known to your own market.

(oops...thought I was writing about the KBT collection of graphics utilities. Turns out it`s the KPT collection....so deleted a paragraph here.)

Craig,

Thats a great idea. I have always dreamed of having a business named after my kids so when they grow up hopefully they`ll be the ones running it. Just a dream.

Oddly enough, dreams have a way of becoming reality. :-D All it takes is the will to proceed.

Thats what keeps me going is dreams.  I will admit its not easy but thats the best part of the whole is  the chase.  I know when the day comes that I am up and running successfully I`ll be able to look back  and say it was all worth it.
