I`ve had enough, I`ve got to get out of the`rat race`. So, I`m starting up on my own & I`m opening a shop, everything`s sorted out, premisies etc. apart from a name. I`m struggling with this, had plenty ideas but nothing seems appropriate. It`s a Antique/Period/20th century furniture type place, I`d be gratefull for any suggestions, any at all...

If you have a nice sounding real name.??use that. I find anyone trading using their own name tend to be better.

cant think of a suitbable name off top of my head but what is proven is if yoiu have a 'dynamic' sounding name rather than 'jims antiques' or something the shop will have a better reputation straight off
