Hello Ladies and Gents,
I'm finalizing my company name and will be choosing domain name soon. I have agonized for a long time over going with a local sounding name or a more universal sounding name, I think finally decided on local sounding name that tells what I do:
Quabbin Natural Bath and Body
Domain name of: Quabbinnatural.com
Quabbin comes from the area in massachusetts where I live. (I live in the north quabbin area, also called north quabbin woods) Quabbin is the name of the largest untreated reservoir in the united states and the largest body of water in Massachusetts. The word Quabbin is a Nipmuck indian word meaning "the meeting place of many waters"
So what do you all think of the name. I know it will appeal to locals, but would the name be too difficult for you foreigners (that's what we old fashioned massachusets folk call people NOT from Massachusetts) to remember? I mean Nipmuck words can be difficult but It's not like I'm calling my company Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg Natural Bath and Body (Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is the nipmuck indian name for you fish your side of the lake I fish my side of the lake nobody fish in the middle, no trouble- It's a real lake in Massachusetts.)
Anyway, based on your experience will my name work? or should I keep searching for something more universally appealling? Thanks all
