Opinions on my company name?

[mjrand]

I just officially registered a new company called Strandom and bought the domain strandom.com for it. I'm wondering though if it really is a good name. So I'm asking ATOT's opinion. My company does pc repair/web design.

Is it a good name for a tech company? What comes to mind when you first hear the name? Is there any way I can use the name to relate somehow to computers?

First thing that came to my mind is you were running a service for people that were stranded...

Beats iBM by a mile.

I came up with it honestly because I couldn't think of anything creative So I picked Something Totally Random, i.e. Strandom.

Any advice on how to make it sound more techy?

It's ok. I don't think it brings to mind PC repair, but it's non offensive, and easy to remember.

Or a company that strands people. Like if you're trying to get revenge on someone, you can hire this company and they'll kidnap whoever is giving you grief and dump 'em on a deserted island somewhere. Don't get mad; strand 'em.

Sounds like a good name for a travel company .

No; sounds like he's ranting and raving about something :laugh:.

Edit: Change "Something Totally Random" to STR or STR-Tech, etc. if they're available.

I like that...

or Rantech/RanTech if you want to be obvious.

Honestly, it sounds like a you combined the words "strangle" and "domination".

First thing that came to my mind is that you wanted people to be stranded.

Come to strand 'em dot com to control a live action robot that lets you steal people's cars while they're pumping gas....

I hate the name STR or STR-Tech and str.com, str-tech.com, and strtech.com are taken already.

That's a horrible name.

 

[mjrand]

You guys have any more advice?

Strandom Technologies maybe?

Any other suggestions?

RepaiRANDweb

Incorporates repair, web design and your last name. That's all I've got.

All hail St. Random.

Strandom

that came to mind, haha.

I'd really avoid using the name "Random" or "Rand" anywhere in it; it makes it sound like you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. I don't want to think that if I take my computer to you, you're just going to try random shit until something works. "What if I do this? Oh fuck, get the fire extinguisher!"
