using your "names" for non-children

DH and I have to name a company (long story) and the name is only going to be used for recording & tax purposes. You would never see a business card or anything else with the name. We have a long list of names we know we'll never use because we'll never have enough children to use them. Would you use a person name you already love and feel strongly about in this case or just make up a random non-person related name?

It's hard to explain the structure of the co. name without going into the whole story, but it wouldn't be just the person name. It would end up being something like Bar Ferdinand (a real restaurant name, just for example).

    I use names I love for things like when my new computer requires a 'name' or whatever. So, yes, I would. But I've only ever used names I absolutely love but there's no way I'd use (a deal-breaker nickname that I couldn't stomach my kid using when she's old enough, or the sound with my last name, or it being too close to another family member's name, or whatever). I know that I definitely won't end up using it for a child, and I like seeing it come up now and again.

    Love this idea.

    I wouldn't. Personally I'd save the names for my children.

    I have a list of names that I know I will never use (mostly cuz my FI hates them and we have chosen our next kids' names). So instead I use them to name DD's bears. Like the one she got for her birthday is named Lydia. She will more than likely end up with bears or dolls named Elizabeth (Lizzy), Meredith (Merry), and Eleanor. Also, I named my character on WoW the name I almost named DD, Siobhan Dione. Yup yup.

    Yes, I would.

    We used to joke about having 5 children and naming the last one Quentin.  That's never going to happen for us.  So we named our Mazda 5 Quentin instead. :)
