Question Web Design Business Names

Hi guys,

I know when it comes to business names it's best to come up with something yourself but i thought i'd just run this by you all as i've seen a few topics on this forum that have gained some good feedback when it comes to business names.

So anyway, i'm looking at starting a web design business over the next year or so and was looking for some creative inspirational names. (You might think, look here's another noob creating a web business that's failed before it's started but the reason i'm going at it alone is that i've been in web design for 5 years now working for a commercial company and basically i'm tired of not reaping the benefits / total profit for the work i do)

The name must portray a good company image. I'm looking for something unique, catchy and rememberable. Any suggestions?

Also, would you buy a website from a company who's name was NET SHRIMP / STEAL MEDIA OR / BOOPY?

Thanks in advance for any comments / suggestions

Boopy, perhaps. The other two, probably not. They have negative connotations, either "small" or "thief".

Hope that helps.

Not 'Steal Media' but the other two I probably would. As long as the site looked good and their portfolio then for sure.

I really didn't like any of them, but if I have to choose between the three Boopy, and put web design, or design at the end.

Don't use Steal Media, or change it to Steel Media.
