Hi there - I've started a new online store that resells small sailboat parts that I get at wholesale prices and markup for retail sales online.
The tenative name I've chosen is "Downwind" but I feel that it needs more than that.
downwind.com is taken so that's another reason to come up with a more substantial name.
The parts we sell are intended for cat (catamaran) sailors - but can really be for anyone - we sell life jackets and a lot of other items that could be used for any type of sailor.
Downwind Gear - Downwind Max - Downwind Cats...I thought about possibly dropping the Downwind idea and playing off the word "Cat"
I've seen another store called The Cat House - there are a lot of words that start with "Cat" but I haven't found any that are both easy to spell and applicable/cool.
Nice one leadarrows. I'd give some ideas, but I've never been good with coming up with names. People usually laugh at what I come up with, LoL. The name of this site is a perfect example of my creativity.
It is a good idea - thanks for the input - the .coms and .nets are taken though. We ended up going with the name Downwind and were able to secure downwind.net.
That should work out well for you. The name of the game is to have a brand name that is short and catchy and that can not only be remembered but also conveys the essence of what the company is all about. I can see some nice images or graphics that could work out very nicely with it.
