Help me name my new small business

I’ve been hesitant for the LONGEST time about starting a little side business. I’m a work from home mom of four kids and I’ve always wanted to have something “for myself” if that makes sense. Well this weekend I put my foot down and I’m making my wants a priority! I made the first step to my own small business but now I need a name. I really would like to name it something to honor my two babies I miscarried. Drop your ideas in the comments and whoever I like the most I’ll send you a free pair of earrings on me of your choice! #mamaownedbusiness #smallbusinesshandmade #handmadehustle #helpmenamemybuisness

... Read moreStarting a new small business is such an exciting journey, but oh my goodness, picking the perfect name can feel like the hardest part! As a fellow mom trying to carve out something special for myself, I know the struggle. You want a name that's catchy, memorable, and truly reflects your passion. For me, it's about honoring my two little angels while launching my dream of creating beautiful, handmade faux leather earrings. If you're also searching for that perfect creative small business name, here are some ideas and approaches I've been exploring, hoping they might inspire you too: Personal & Sentimental: This is where my heart truly lies. Think about what's meaningful to *you*. Do you have a special memory, a favorite flower, or a significant date? For my earring shop, I’m looking for names that subtly allude to my babies, maybe incorporating elements of stars, rainbows, or gentle sounds. Names like 'Twinkle & Teardrop Designs' or 'Rainbow Lane Jewels' come to mind. It makes the business feel deeply personal and authentic. Product-Focused & Descriptive: Sometimes, the best names simply tell people what you do. Since I specialize in faux leather earrings, I could use words like 'Leather & Lace' (for a softer touch) or 'Faux Fancy Finds'. You can also highlight the unique styles, like 'Layered Teardrop Treasures' or 'Geometric Gemstones'. When I think about my heart shapes and layered teardrops, it sparks ideas like 'Heartfelt Faux' or 'Dainty Drops'. Don't forget to mention the materials or designs, like 'Glitter & Glam Earrings' or 'Patterned Perfection Jewelry'. Creative & Unique: This is where you can really let your imagination fly! Think about alliteration, portmanteaus (combining two words), or even made-up words. For my faux leather earrings, I've considered names that evoke beauty, lightness, or artistry. Maybe something like 'Whisper & Bloom' to suggest delicate designs, or 'Adorned Aura' for a more sophisticated feel. Even playing with colors like pink, gold, or silver glitter can lead to fun names like 'Pink Petal Provisions' or 'Gilded Grace Gems'. Location-Inspired (if applicable): While not directly relevant to my personal story, if you have a strong connection to a place, that can be a great source of inspiration! Target Audience Appeal: Who are you trying to reach? If it's busy moms looking for stylish yet affordable accessories, your name might reflect that. If it's about bold statements, names like 'Vivid Vogue' or 'Fearless Faux' could work. Remember, the best small business name idea often feels right in your gut. Say it out loud, see how it looks written down, and get feedback from trusted friends. I'm so excited to see what beautiful names you come up with for my little venture, especially if they have that special touch. Whether it's a name that hints at floral prints, camouflage, or the classic elegance of brown and tan designs, every suggestion helps this mama's dream take flight!

Running a business isn’t easy, especially when a lot of the tools out there built to help entrepreneurs cost a pretty penny. I’ve personally used Calendly, Trello and Dropbox and I can say they’re great! I actually use Trello on a daily basis for work and I’ve been using it for years — love it!
