Hi Peeps

I needs a bit of help, I am interested in starting up a business and am in the process of doing a business plan, but one thing I cant do is find a name. I want to create a brand image you know something the sky, goggle, bbc, moschino, McDonalds, Mercedes blah blah blah you get the picture. But I want something you could possibly link to Nigeria, I want the name to represent the company rather than what I am selling (basically a service) so what I guess I am looking for is for you peeps to help me generate a list words that can be associated or remind you of Nigeria, it could be anything but not all that naira this, naija that, them ones don pass long time, just simple words. I beg please help me out ohh, (I dey struggle.)

I want the name to represent the company rather than what I am selling

Why don't you want the name to represent your product?

help me generate a list words that can be associated or remind you of Nigeria,

Why do you want the name of your company to be associated with the 419 capital of the world?

Ok, so the only thing that comes to my mind: NAIJA, NIGERIAN. More info required: nature of your company.

Why don't you want the name to represent your product?

I find that businesses that do well especially in the western world are companies that do not suggest the nature of their business, instead have catchy names that people remember such as the ones I listed in my first post, so when advertising with the images I decide to use and the catchy word(s) I use to promote my business I aim to stick in people's mind.

Why do you want the name of your company to be associated with the 419 capital of the world?

Nigeria is not that bad, many other countries have been doing what Naija has been said to be associated with for a long time, its nothing new, its through our stupidity that we exposed ourselve's, our bad rep will soon pass with Gods grace in the near future.

I want a name that relates to nigeria because I intend offering services to Nigerians (Africans) in nigeria and abroad. Not all that Naija stuff, something else, the only example I can think of is like radiopalmwine, you see palmwine reminds of of Nigeria.

naijacutee:

For travel services, how about "Comot Services" or "Gerraway"

Them names are too funny, lol

baby,
what u need to do is tie your service/product with the "naija' thing and presto! you've got a name.i dig the idea that it has to be catchy but that isnt neccessary,its all up to u men.
try: afrolipso, wakabout, yamayama, sango, bamboo, well u get d gist?

Nice suggestions.
