What’s in a name

I’ve been trying to come up with a name for my jewellery collection for over a week now. I’ve asked friends, forum members and I’ve even asked Harry (to which he just gave me a ‘you know I can’t talk’ look).

Some of the names people have suggested so far are:

If you have any ideas please leave a comment, otherwise I’m looking at “_________ jewellery” as a name. Which is so not cool.

    When I lived in New Jersey we used to say: “If you don’t buy this, I know people who will break your legs.”….but I don’t think that’s it. I’ll give it some thought and get back to you.

    Well, I don’t think you should use Jewels R Us, as a company just got sued by Toys R Us for having another simliar name. I don’t know about other people, but since I don’t know what immacualte means, I would tend to get the impression that Kitta’s immaculate conceptions is some kind of erotic shop(don’t ask why, that’s just what I think when I heard that word:p).

    I like the sound of If-you-don’t-buy-this-IT-WILL-EAT-YOUR-BABIES! Jewellery, but since you say that “_________ Jewellery” is “so not cool”, I guess that’s not an option;)

    I like Pugs’ suggestion, Kitta’s Creations. It’s got a nice ring to it, if ya knows what me means;)

    I’m not creative enough to come up with anything of my own, so I just comment on other people’s suggestions. Or maybe I can think of something……………………………… Kitta’s Jewellery. Nope, no creativity whatsoever in this head of mine:(

    Kitta’s shiny things.

    Red Monkey Jewellery.

    I could go on…

    Hey I’ve been considering making some personal jewellery, specifically earing because I can barely find any that I like in the stores these days. The most I’ve ever made are very simple but playful bracelets.

    Could you reccomend any starter kits or anything? Thanks.

    As for names Kitta’s Creation is fab. I’d rolls off the tongue. =P

    It Sparkles Jewellery

    I know you didn’t want to include your name, but I agree that it seems to add a personal touch. There just isn’t much that rhymes or compliments the word “jewellery.” I like Kitta’s Kreations or Little Red Monkey Shines.

    You know big companies spend millions on naming…

    Anyway, today you’re doing jewellery, tommorow you may expand into other lines, so I think branding your name is the first place to start.

    You are Kitta. The things you make are an extension of who you are. It says something about you.

    So any of Kitta Jewellery or Jewellery by Kitta as already suggested would be the way to go. Or even just Kitta! NK or NKJ may work for a logo treatment but I think Kitta should figure in any name you settle upon.

    wanky speak ends now…

    Out of your suggestions I love Bijou Beadwork. But as someone said above, you should use Kitta in the name, or your initials. Something like that to make it more personal since it’s all made by you.

    I’m kind of liking NK Jewellery, its simple and classy. Not sure though. Thanks for all the ideas everyone. :)

    Jade, bead kits are always quite expensive for what they really are. The best thing to do is attend a few classes on beading (they’ll introduce you to the supplies and tell you where you can buy them from), do a web search or check out a local arts and craft centre for classes. I’d say to start off with basic thread and seed beads, and then move on some wire work and tigertail. You can also check out this site – http://jewelrymaking.about.com/library/blbeg.htm – which seems to have some good advice. Good luck and happy beading. :)

    (Drum Roll Please)
    * Shinny Monkey
    * Kitta Bling-Bling
    * Monkey Bling
    * Just plain: “Nikita” (Maybe in some cool Italics Font)
    * Aus-ome Jewlery
    (That was top 5, the rest was just jumbled group-think)

    It depends on what kind of feel you want your company to have.. Most of these suggestion suggest you’re a fun company. Which may appeal more to the younger crowd of consumers. I’d suggest something for elegant, after all, it is jewellery.

    Why do you not use the most beautiful name you have at the end of you fingertips? Nikita! You have a beautiful and elegant name, so why not use a name like Nikita Conceptions or Nikita Expressions or simply just Nikita. Note: Jewellery is an expression when given to someone as a gift.
