Totally doing it.

Ok, I know I've been talking about it for a little while now, but I am finally going to open an Etsy shop with bandana bibs and pants for babies. I need a Shop name! I have been wracking my brain and all I can think of are these:

1) TrendyTike -Is this dumb? Taken??

2) LittleBeasties- Since we call K this sometimes

3) TinyNovelty- just cuz

Help! They all seem silly to me when I say them out loud or imagine promoting them. I suck at this. I want something easy and memorable and current, but not cheesy (as all these seem)

I actually crossed my mind...but not sure if I want K's name in the title. Plus if I make girl things it doesn't seem fitting.

i like when shop names have nothing to do with what theyre selling too. 

Like 

Daper Dan's

or

Handsome Hanks

I suck at names so I have no suggestions. I like LittleBeasties the best.  Good for you for opening the shop!  How exciting.  I'd suggest starting a new instagram account for the shop too, so you can share new designs,  photos of clients wearing the items, sales, promotions, etc.  I love following my favorite etsy shops this way.

OMGbibs! OMGpants!

OMG! you just created my entire marketing plan... Off to check if anything with OMG! is available...

 ETA: I cant do punctuation! that ruins it!

TrendyTike is my vote.

I can see some people being turned off by anything referring to their kid as "beast"... just being devil's advocate here... not personally offended or anything.  I just know a lot of people that are overly religious and would have a problem with that.   And you don't want to alienate any of your potential clients.

pinkangelmoon

What about something simple like your name/middle name_designs.  Does K have a middle name?

BandanasOverYou?  although you said you wouldn't only sell bandana bibs..hmm.  

If you went with the OMG theme, I think the etsy shop name could leave out the exclamation point but you could still include it in the banner design and for the official logo.  

lewispm

Ok, so it is between these (written as they will appear on Etsy)

1) TikeOnATrike

2)OMGbibs

TikeOnATrike is prob my fav based on name alone, but OMGbibs has that very "Kellenesque" touch that I like. Plus I have tons I could do with it as far as imaging. But, that being said, It's easy to get pics of my tike on a trike as well.... What do y'all think??

Thanks!!

OMGbibs is super cute

wmel13 said:

Ok so between those 2, def TikeOnATrike. OMGbibs is cute, but I think it sounds like you only sell bibs, and I know you will be doing more than that. TOAT give you more options.

Good point... I am leaning towards TOAT as much as I like OMGbibs...

SallySunrise

OMGbibs is more "you". That's important for this kind of thing.

lewispm

@Wmel13 I actually was JUST trying to think of something more broad. I like OMGbaby. Or maybe OMGstyle? OMGyall? OMGtots? OMG....??? This is hard!!! LOL

pinkangelmoon

I like OMGbaby or OMGtots

SallySunrise

OMGbaby!

StokedWifey

OMGbaby!!!  Perfection.

lewispm

OMGbaby is not available, but I think I like OMGtots more anyway since the bandana bibs are more toddlerish to me and those will be my main product.

 Oh...and while I have y'alls undivided (hehe) attention, here are the ones I've made for K that tons of people have asked me to make for them that made me finally decide to open a shop:

How about OMGtikes since you liked Tikes on Trikes?
