I set my ltd up with a longish descriptive name and used my surname in it as well.
The descriptive part (should) allow me to work in my two fields of expertise.
I then abbreviated it for banking purposes via a directors resolution.
I registered the domain and various shortened versions in advance so I could do the 'trading as' bit later if needed.
I did not decide on the name by committee i.e. getting the family around the table.
I did think of using something obscure like Glark & Glark but that sounded too much like a bunch of solicitors.
FYI glark,glark,glark is the sound Chickens really make if you pay attention
Yes I do keep Chickens and Ducks, Geese, Sheep, Horses, Dogs and I have even reportedly got some Kids kicking around somewhere as well!
So I have to be a contractor A, to pay for it all, and B, so I can WFH loads to look after them...
Well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it because I am not lucky enough (or good enough) to be Jetting all around the world like some on here, not jealous!

Yeah, John Boot didn't think that one through either.
Or William Henry Smith
Or John Wardle & David Makin's sports shop - OK, so they only used one initial each, a bit like Richard Block & David Quayle.

As for "making the putts", I guess you've not watched much of his golf in the four years since that "tag line" was first suggested

Why not call your company AmazonMP, StarbucksMP or GoogleMP.
Combine the names of the biggest tax dodgers and HMRC won't touch you.

thought as much. Although I do like the 'works for lattes' option. There are so many bizarre company names out there anyway can't really imagine it matters, and agreed finding something that the domain is available for seems like the biggest challenge! Random latin-portugese anagram generator here I come!!
(btw, Tulip Ltd is taken, as is Tulip Consulting Ltd. Even TULIP BUSINESS & CONSULTING SERVICES LIMITED. Damn - that's god all the buzz words right there and just rolls off the tongue )
