I need a business name please!

**Faith** · 30-04-2012, 10:15am

I am rubbish at thinking up names

I'm making leotards and shorts for gymnastics. Pretty much made to order, so you pick your fabric, rough design, and send me the size you want.

Any ideas?

The couple I've thought of are already in existence ...

Preferably something I could incorporate easily into a logo on the leotards

**Damsella** · 30-04-2012, 10:19am

Me-otards

ie Meotards. All available!

**donna-j** · 30-04-2012, 10:27am

Damz that is genius

**parkejm** · 30-04-2012, 10:58am

Gym-tastic

**Faith** · 30-04-2012, 02:28pm

Thanks- great ideas, but I am hoping to branch out into swimwear (will try my first this week

), so preferably not sport specific.

I had a great one, but there's a gymnastics club with that name already so I'm back to nothing again

**Bettie May** · 30-04-2012, 06:22pm

But if it's only a small business in a different area it's surely ok to use it?

I did wonder, but it's a fairly big, well organised club with a really fancy website, so if you google "x leotard" it comes up with their club uniform, which is lovely and all specially made by an existing premier brand....

Probably thinking way ahead of myself as I'm only aiming for word of mouth orders, at the minute, at least. I've thought of a variant or two, one has a much lower profile club associated with it, which I'm not so bothered about..

I'm hopeless at thinking of names but I wanted to say don't forget about skating costumes. I used to sell sewing patterns and every year I shifted masses of patterns for skating costumes. Very often the customers would ask if I would make the costumes for them too (No!).

**Faith** · 30-04-2012, 09:39pm

Cheers Queenie.

I'm up for pretty much anything anyone asks for, the only limit being my ability. Skating/Rythmic gymnastics stuff, and stuff with sleeves will take me a while to attempt. I only learned how to use a sewing machine a month ago

**LibertyGal72** · 30-04-2012, 10:25pm

Where are you based Faith? Were you thinking of including your area in your company name?

I am thinking of something with an X in so you can use that as a logo - with the arms outstretched at the top kind of thing. Or maybe a Y - that would include all sorts of gym/dance/swim kit.

**cheeky_biscuit** · 30-04-2012, 10:29pm

I feel like I'm in the apprentice doing brainstorming team names!
FaithFitness (if that is your real name?!

)
Kitbox
Kit & kiboodle
Winners
Gymit to winnit (!)
Perfect Fit

**LibertyGal72** · 30-04-2012, 11:22pm

we need a wordle!

What words are you thinking of in connection to your emerging business?

Fantastic - marVellous - Excel - eXcel - made to measure

Tailored for success - Leotard - Apparel - Success - dance - gear - kit

swim - dance - fitness - triumph - winning - Dress4success

Am I totally mad?

**Bop** · 01-05-2012, 11:50am

Stretch for success...

that's minibop's contribution!

**parkejm** · 01-05-2012, 01:09pm

Gym Bunnies

**kelly** · 01-05-2012, 01:48pm

Gymforme - gym for me - a teeny play on gymboree?

I was thinking of Stretch something or other too. We have a Stretch Dancewear locally. Stretch Leisurewear. No, hate Leisurewear... sounds like you sell shellsuits!

Stretch sportswear?

Looking at Libertygal's list.... Fit Kit? (sounds like f*ck it if you say it fast!)...

**Bettie May** · 01-05-2012, 04:13pm

Do gymnastics have certain moves that have names? Just thinking because of course dance have lots of things and there is Arabesque dancewear, Releve dancewear etc...

Ok, just googled...

Arial Sportswear

Soul Circle (apparently!) (Sew Circle... hmmm)

Tsukahra

Twist...

Amplitude...

Something to do with Flex/Flexibility?

I give up!

**Chickenlips** · 01-05-2012, 04:45pm

At a stretch?

**Faith** · 01-05-2012, 09:29pm

Thanks

LG I was thinking of random word association stuff too

There is a stretch sportswear (or very similar) already.

I like Arial. Even if it did just take me three attempts to spell it

Kelly, gymforme is just too much like bodyform in my head

I started working the other way, thinking of logo's. It would be really easy to have three or more diamonte's- so I started thinking of shapes- triangles etc.

This is worse than baby names

**parkejm** · 01-05-2012, 10:05pm

What about words like..

Flexi
Plumage
Tempo
Rhythm
Grace
Chakra
Revolution

Just trying to think of words to do with dance, gymnastics, yoga, pilates etc.
