I Need a Name

By: Mr. Wilson on July 2, 2007
I have been doing freelance web development work on the side for a while now, and I would like to do even more. So far I have just been doing business as myself, but going forward I would like to formalize things a bit. First, though, I need a name. A while back I thought I would go with Center Coast Solutions, but for various reasons I don't like that as well any more. Can you help me come up with something better? (Or tell me why I should stick with CCS.) Some things to think about:
  • My work consists of website design and web development, with an emphasis on using Expression Engine. I have done and will continue to do work for local and international clients.
  • Lincolnite is -- or rather, will be -- an important part of my work as well.
  • The Mr. Wilson "brand" is already known among the community of Expression Engine users and developers.
  • The name, or some logical variant of it, must be available as a domain name.
Like I said, Center Coast Solutions was an early contender, but now I'm not so crazy about it. A friend suggested something with Menace in the title. He loves it, but I just don't feel like a very menacing guy. Do you have any suggestions? If I end up using your idea I'll buy you lunch.

Man that is a tough one.  Most of my 22 domains came to me after a few drinkiepoos.

CCS sounds professional, but it does not explain what you do, besides solutionizing something.

will have a few brews and see what I can come up with 😉

I might need a few brews too…

The beauty of this name is that it allows you to talk like a pirate whenever you answer the phone and your logo can have a parrot in it. The possibilities for your dress code are endless.
