  • Help me come up with business name

    I am setting up a secondary photography business and want to come up with a hawaiian name for it. Something that doesn't have too many meaning variations and something somewhat unique to photography i.e. Pa'i Ki'i (but not that one. too obvious) and hopefully something fairly simple

    Any suggestions?

    Well, for a camera "eye" that is too tired to work ... maka piapia.
    Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

      Hmm. "Hawaiian Eye" is already taken.....
      Maybe think of something that plays off that to get the familiarity & recognition.
      If you want to use Hawaiian language.... AND if you want recognition from people who don't speak Hawaiian, that's tough.

      BTW, what is a 'secondary photography business?'

        who is your target market? maybe a Hawaiian name is not the way to go to reach that market.

            A name is a marketing opportunity. A Hawaiian word that no one recognizes, to me, is throwing that opportunity away.

            What is special about your business? Why do people hire you? What is the prime benefit of your service?

            I'd recommend your name convey that message.

                        sorry for not responding..

                        I've decided on

                        Kupono Photo (reasonable, honest, proper, reliable, just)

                        A secondary photography business is this:
                        My main photography has been built as a more higher end brand. I only offer high quality leather albums, and my rates are higher.

                        I wanted to start a entry brand to possibly take on lower paying gigs (that I can contract out, etc, or shoot myself if I wanted) without devaluing the brand i've built with Brian Hancock Photographers.

                        Think of it like Acura/Honda
