My friend wants to change the name of his business, wants the name to fit what he does more. He makes objects with a laser, cuts them out or engraves them. He likes pyroArt. But we've rejected that because of the negative connotation of pyro. I've reached the end of my cleverness without coming up with something to his satisfaction. Any good suggestions?

I like pyroArt. Cool.

OK, here's some obvious ones to get some less obvious ones going:

fireArt

blazeArt

flamedArt

sizzleArt

scorchArt

ArtScorcher

scorcherArt

ArtBlazer

Various combinations--why don't you check out a good thesaurus and just turn some words around if you're deteremined to use the twoFerOne construction.

or coherent light, or single frequence light..

RadioLightArt
or
RayLiteArt
or
LightRayArt
or
ArtRay
if his laser is a ruby based one
RubyArt
or
InfraRedArt
or
PureLightArt
(actually i like the last one best...
but none focus on the idea that the light burns in the image...
and what kind of objects? [practical? i could use a nice little rack to hold my business cards.. i the PureLightArt works make something like that....)

LaserEtching
LaserArt

Light Optica Works
Lux et Veritas (the Yale motto)

Fire does go back to pyro but flame, doesnt'...
and flamboyant is to suggest flames...

FlamboyArt?

or
FlameArt
or
FlamedArtWorks!

or punning again on Flame/Fame
FlamousArt (since i am sure he hopes to be one day, even if just in his own home town.)

and since keep going back mentally to the laser as a light image,
LuxArt--

Does "art" have to be part of the name?

what about something like "FireLine" or "FireLine Art"?

LAZYART pronounced either...

lazy'art- suggesting the ease with which it is done, or,

laz'yart- laz, short for laser, and yart an acronym for_______
_____________yet another ruby trick ____________

_____________________****________________

No? Well I don't like Pyroarts either, reminds me of fireworks.

_________________ ----> ______________

How about playing with what the acronym, "laser," means? (Light Amplification [by] Stimulated Emission [of]Radiation) Maybe Light Emissions, or Stimulated Emissions, or Radiant Emissions? Or maybe A Light Cut?

Maybe Light Emissions, or Stimulated Emissions, or Radiant Emissions? Or maybe A Light Cut?

O, hell - or not resist it:

What about Nocturnal Emissions? but only if he works at night.

ok, I guess that one doesn't cut it

What about Nocturnal Emissions? but only if he works at night.

I figured somebody'd rise to the bait and make light of my most serious and proper post!

rise to the bait??!

sorry Geoff, couldn't resist! (guttersnipe that I am!)

rise to the bait??!

Ah, ModGod, I shall stiffen my resolve to not arouse you further.

I shall stiffen my resolve

now you're just teasing me! what's a girl to do?! [naughty look-e]

I'm mmeeeeeelllttttinnnngggggg!

Thanks for the ideas. My favorite pre-post suggestion was the running iron, which has cowboy connotations and was greeted less enthusiatically than pyroart. My friend says he doesn't want to give anyone the wrong impression. I'll run these by him and see if we have a winner. I knew you guys would come up with some clever ideas.
