The first umbrella I approached said the coy name would be "Frigg Educational Services Limited"
I told them to stuff themselves and became a proper business.

I managed to get a company name almost exactly like a very well known supercomputer manufacturer and the .com domain too. Seemed like a good idea at the time but really serves absolutely no purpose.

Some great suggestions but I'll probably end up taking wendigo's suggestion and sit down with a thesaurus and a coffee tonight.
Needs to be unambiguous, short, memorable, reflecting the key theme/type of business, and versatile. (I work as an IT contractor but also take commissions for design work, illustration, and hopefully artwork) I was thinking of looking at other languages for words around 'media', 'creative', 'monkey' etc and possibly cannibalising the words to form a name.
How very branded! If i chose my own name I'd probably be sued to little bits by a large company offering similar services. The domain name's gone anyways.

* The location of the business?
* Your favourite food/footy team/band/animal/person/sexual position/ etc?
* Something else?
* Nothing at all - a random but pronounceable sequence of one or more characters?
Then get to work with a thesaurus (use MS Word's if you want)
I think you should call it "Eight" and be done with it.
