This name thing... It really has me stumped. I've been getting help from a few choice people but nothing has really had that spark yet. I've spent hours pouring over google looking for blogs with advice, name generators, and the like, hoping for some inspiration. I repeatedly see professionals advise that you just name your business after yourself, after all you are selling yourself and your services right? My name is Ashley Nicole D'Annunzio. There are probably thousands of Ashley Nicole Photography businesses and D'Annunzio doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I want to be easily accessible to my clients, not "oh that photog with the odd last name..." That would make me forgettable, and I don't want to be forgettable. (Though certainly the work I produce isn't far above forgettable but that I can improve) So I am stuck in the rut that just about every business owner gets stuck in at some time, what's in a name?
I have ideas, lots and lots of them but nothing is catching my ear, or my heart. I want my business's name to be catchy, easy to remember, and meaningful. I also want it to convey what my business is about. I want people to understand that I am a portrait photographer looking to work with families starting with Maternity images, and through the important stages up until the child's first birthday. But that is certainly a lot to express in a name! So maybe I leave the dirty details of my business to be explained on my future website's cover page? Now where to look for ideas?
