Decision made, I came up with a made up name which sounds rather cool and doesn't limit me for future ventures.

Thanks for the inspiration, the attempt at humour some good, some could do better, hehehe.

Get a Latin / Greek dictionary

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Latin-2145/English-Latin.htm

or maybe some play on Caveat or similar that fits.

Alternatively make up a name by using intials / syllables of the wife & kids names.

Yes, but it exists!

Arsole is a chemical compound of the formula C4H5As. The structure is like pyrrole except that an arsenic atom is substituted for the nitrogen atom and that arsole is only mildly aromatic. Arsole itself does exist but is rarely found in its pure form. Several substituted analogs called arsoles also exist.

Also included there is the chemical structure of arsole and 3D model of arsole.

chemical names you'd want to avoid:

Arsole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsole

that page is unbelievable! Both the "chemical structure of arsole" diagram on the right, and the link to "simple aromatic rings".

Why not call your company "Supersize Buttplugs r Us Ltd" or something? That way nobody you give a company cheque to will have the nerve to present it.

(Not my idea - It was a classic con whereby mail order clients sent cheques payable to SBRU Ltd and received an "out of stock" reply and a refund cheque with account name as above )

A bit like calling your dog @rse Hole; you take it in the pub wait for somebody to stroke and utter:

"Oi YOU get your hands off my @rse Hole!"

all the word and nouns

Has anyone designed database/OO programs, etc, using parts of human speech other than verbs and nouns - adjectives, adverbs, etc? CompSci have any use for them at all?

WTF is the Infosec field?

Huh such language from the fairer sex, hehehe.

Infosec = Information Security, apologies for my assumption that people would know what it might mean.

Yes, I've looked at using a place name - a possibility. I also hate the use of 'solutions', 'consultants' yep adds pretence.

Right now I've got a name that I kind of made up, '.com' and '.co.uk' exist and more importantly Co House doesn't have any other co listed with that name or variation of it.

So I might have found it!

[wendigo100]

I work in the Infosec field, so I'm thinking something related.

WTF is the Infosec field?

No matter, as someone else said, use something unrelated to work. You're not a hostage to fortune then (like my company name ), and most names with "solutions" "consultants" etc in them can sound a bit naff or pretentious.

What about including the name of a place?

Here are some chemical names you'd want to avoid:

Dickite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickite
Cummingtonite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummingtonite
Arsole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsole

You could list all the word and nouns in your area of expertise and glue parts of them together… and you’ll get something like Infosec Ltd
