Help Me Pick A Name For . . .

Mad4stevie · #1 07-23-2005, 09:24 PM

My part time antiques and collectibles business.

I have been doing selling on ebay for a little over a year, and I have also recentely leased some space at a local shop. I now need to pick an "official" name for the business. I sell anything from retro 50's lights to vintage fabrics to antique chandeliers.

Of course, I have thought about incorporating my love for Stevie into the name in some way. So far I have come up with some (non-original) names:

Bella Donna's Antiques and Collectibles
Gypsy Beggar Antiques
Gypsy's Vintage Wares

Any more suggestions?

How About:

Enchanted Essentials?

Okay..I will think some more.

out of those i like Gypsy Beggar best. After the Glitter Fades would be very tongue-in-cheek but i think you'd run into some copyright issues. good luck!

The Feeling Remains

I thought of After the Glitter Fades, but I wasn't sure what kind of image that would project - LOL! Enough people think antiques are "junk" anyway

I like The Feeling Remains for some reason. Has a multilevel meaning to it.

I like both of those!

I also was looking for a kind of by-line for the business too - again, looking to her lyrics for inspiration. I just want something unique - too many people use something like "Bob & Mary's Antiques". BORING!!!

I know Stevie liked the Dickens aesthetic, so what about a Dickens sort of name
Little Nells?
Curiosity Shop?
Urchin's Underground?

How about
