Hi, Chethan, and welcome. Here is a link* to a directory of stores -- in Britain, I think; so if any of these strike your fancy** you could probably copy one of these without getting in trouble, or play off of one of them.
*This is a list of names only, and, while it looks like you can click on a name, my putting this here is intended in NO way to be advertising--and there are no ads on this site.
**HEY, now there's a possibility for a name: Strike Your Fancy! (Yeah, I know, it gives no indication of what the store sells.)
Posted By: twosleepy Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 02/27/09 03:15 PM
But mine were all original! I suppose there might be stores with those names, but I've never heard of one. Here are some more (originals!):

TOT SPOT

WILD CHILD

KIDS KLOTHING

KIDS or KIDDIE KLOSET

NIPPER DUDS

MOPPET FROCKS

SQUIRT GEAR

WEE WEAR


You can add the word "Clothing" to any of them, or "Boutique" to make sure people know what you are selling.

Is Chetan still with us ? Exellent choices!
Posted By: Chethan Re: you want trite, I'll give you trite! - 03/06/09 04:50 PM
Very much here !!! laugh

I am zeroing in on

1. The Baby Boutique
2. Posh Little

But now I am searching for a tag line that goes well with either of these.
Can I ask for suggestions again??

Thanks
Posted By: Jackie Re: you want trite, I'll give you trite! - 03/06/09 08:32 PM
Posh Little--for the little things that bring smiles. Hmm?
Posted By: Zed Re: you want trite, I'll give you trite! - 03/07/09 06:46 AM
The best "Little" shop in town.

Thanks a ton - for all those who sent the suggestions.

I finally decided on
[Name] Posh Little
[Tag Line] -- Because they are only little once!!

But I think we should all in this forum start a section which will help people looking for new names for new businesses.

Thanks Again,
Chethan

one wonders about the source of this choice..
Posted By: BranShea Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 03/30/09 03:43 PM
Or the scource of the word:

Origin:
1915–20; of obscure orig.; cf.posha dandy (recorded as British slang in 1890); the popular notion that the word is an acronym from port out(ward), starboard home, said to be the preferred accommodation on ships traveling between England and India, is without foundation.

(do ships have foundations ?)

you know, of course, that's not what I meant‽
-joe (why the thanks to us?) friday
Posted By: BranShea Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 03/30/09 04:04 PM
Of course I know what you meant. But isn't it polite to thank those who helped you to make you chose your own idea ? If only by benefitting from the contrast?

(I'd still choose tiny toes because they are so cute.) laugh
Posted By: twosleepy Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 03/30/09 05:37 PM
Actually, no one on this board suggested "Posh Little"! I don't know where she got it, but it wasn't here! :0)
Posted By: BranShea Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 03/30/09 08:28 PM
Compendium of joint venture:

Chethan: 1. The Baby Boutique
2. Posh Little

Chethan: Thanks a ton - for all those who sent the suggestions.
I finally decided on
[Name] Posh Little

tsuwm: one wonders about the source of this choice..

BranShea: writes a sideline post about the meaning of the
word, but that is not what tsuwm meant.

tsuwm: you know, of course, that's not what I meant!?
-joe (why the thanks to us?) friday

BranShea: Of course I know what you meant.
But isn't it polite (of Chetan) to thank those who helped you ( i.e. Chetan) to make you ( i.e. Chetan) chose your own(Chetan's) idea ?
If only by benefits from the contrast.(excuse my poor writing style)

twosleepy: Actually, no one on this board suggested "Posh Little"!

Try to see the comical in this.


Posted By: Jackie Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 04/06/09 01:57 AM
Because it went 'round and then came to a point? Oh, wait--you said comical.

How did you know I misspelled it at first.Ha! Do you receive email notifications?

Not for posts, no. I was actually trying to do a play on words. Sigh. Not the first time my leap has been too big.
Posted By: BranShea Re: Suggest a Name for my Baby Shop - 04/07/09 09:11 AM
It's still a good leap.
