Need Help Naming a Business...

[bad14u]

Ok, so here is the situation. My brother-in-law and I are going in on business venture together. He works for a countertop company now and he has seen the profits that this guy makes. His starting base salary is $1,200 a week, plus commission. The guy that he works for now is a complete prick and the contractors in the area hate him, but since he custom cuts these countertops by machine instead of cutting them by hand he is the one people turn to, to get it done quicker. We have had one contractor offer us half a million dollars to buy a warehouse and set up shop as long as he can run the show and share the profits. We have decided to do this on our own though. Start up cost is around $100,000. We are buying double of everything we need, but we are only going to rent a warehouse for now. We will first start off only doing the countertops...marble, granite, slate, soapstone, travertine, corian and so on....and then eventually we want to get into selling the fixtures to go along with them.

We are trying to come up with a catchy name. He likes. Counterworks and I like Counter Creations, but we are still not sure about either one of them though. Any ideas?

heres my brain dump;

rest assured - since most over-the-counter salesmen spend their time leaning on the counter.

topcounters

A counter centre - that'll get you to the top of the phone book

the place the business resides then counters e.g orange county counters

"Count on me" - I can just see you and Rado doing the ad on local tv singing "count on me (instead of lean on me), when your not strohohong, and I'll be your freing, I'll help you caaaree on" ttssssehehehe!

"The Counters of Monte Cristo" - bwahaha!

Count me in - with 4 Aces as your corporate logo

Looks cool but not what we are going for right now. I have added the site to my favs to look at later. Has some good ideas there and definite potential.

I meant more the name. It's similar to one your brother liked. I don't know if that's good or bad.
