So, I'm thinking about starting a shop on etsy.com, but I'm terrible at naming things. Anybody got any suggestions? I would mostly be selling things like tote bags, clutches, and zippered pouches: If I end up using a name that someone on here suggests, I'll send that person a clutch similar to the one in the picture on the left (but I can make it with different fabrics if other colors/patterns are preferred).

^Thanks! It'll probably take me a few weeks to get enough stuff to list, but I will let you know. I actually have some green fabrics at home that I've been planning on using.
Very Very Nice NBF. I took my first stab at making all day Roo bags this year. Took a couple of tries but have it down now. Planned on two however when I showed them to my niece she said.. you will be making one more in a zebra print right? : ) Hers came out the best! I'm jellyfish but too close to Roo to think about making more. Yours look very clean on stitching, style, and would expect to do very well!! Lovely!! Do it!!
Anywhoo..... thoughts from one of the um not 20 something ladies on the board.. first i would gently suggest an alternative thank you to a clutch bag to engage the men folk on the board. Not all admit it but many read all of the new threads and have amazingly clever minds minds. Offer bragging rights. oww ouch ouch FMart takes her pummels for that comment. : )
Wondering how you came about your NBF IRoo name and if it can be combined in a clever way with either the Fish in the percolator quote or the product. Or all three..
NBF seems very sweet, Fish quote.. Sour/Sassy? + product. Where's Holls/Quacker when I need them.. term for all three start with the same letter. To quote a few others.. 'I do Math'. : )
Again NBF the pics look great!! We have a few young ladies in our cub club that goes with to Roo and am sure they will be checking these out.
Invagination -- referring to the process of making a pouch. Has a nice ring, don't you think?
I knew you were out there oh great literate one!! Might be a little too strong for NBF however not my say. Challenge is on Inforoo-ers. Going to go be quiet now

Fawnmart, thanks for the compliments! I thought about offering something more boy-friendly, but I don't really know how to make much that's not pretty girly. I was hoping maybe any men with ideas would have a female in their life who might appreciate the clutch. Also, "(Nothing But) Flowers" is my favorite Talking Heads song. I actually considered calling my shop something along the lines, but I was actually concerned that it would give the impression that my stuff would all have flowers (maybe I just think too literally?).
Billypilgrim - Invagination would certainly be memorable! But I'm probably gonna pass on that one. \
holls - Fresh Cut is a great suggestion, but flowers aren't particularly a theme I'm going for. I do have some flower fabrics, but the majority are other patterns.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Seems as though lately a hot trend is to have your brand be a name. What about your name, or your middle name? I am always drawn to Etsy stores that have less kitchy names and something that seems a bit more personal and less specific. Then also if you ever veer from just bags to other items you won't be pinned down.
Like my daughter's middle name is Elaine, if I had a store I would do something like ElaineGrace or MagnoliaElaine or something like that.

When I signed up for etsy a long time ago, I had no idea I'd ever start a shop on there, and I used my first and middle names, so my user name right now (and thus, my default shop name) is hilaridawn. I had thought about using that, but I was worried that because Hilari is spelled rather, um, uncommonly that it would be a problem for the correct spelling to stick with people or for the two names together to have meaning to people. Although, I think if I capitalize both, HilariDawn, that would help.
Sew Delightful? Sew-da pop? Club Sew-da? rockin' rags?
I absolutely love the picture of your bags. I wish you lived closer so we can get together and sew some...trying to get under the wire and make 2 dresses for Roo....

Thanks! I wish I lived closer too . . . so I could have a sewing buddy and because I freakin' miss living in Atlanta.

Like this but without the legal implications of stealing the image from the interwebz.
