Business name - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Trackman · 07-06-2012, 02:21 PM

Need help coming up with a name for my shop. My last name is Willis and my nick name is Whip.
I don't live in a area that will set my shop apart from other homes, like "The Pines" ect. Also I live in East Central Indiana.
Was thinking about Willis Scroll Sawing. Any an all help is needed! Thanks

"Willis' Woodworking Workshop"! Then you could come up with a nifty logo with the 3 W's. Don

Using your last name could hurt a connection with people, it gives a "company" flavor to the business name. I think you should consider your first name or nick name so that people can feel a personal connection. Last names also don't really imply that you made the product where a first name does.

I see what you mean Steve but my first name is Delvaughn, maybe to long? Also my wife was thinking about your idea of "Whip's Wood" but it might be taken the wrong way if you get my drift.
Keep the ideas coming I also like the 3Ws.
