 Hi all, I am currently in the process of designing a webpage for a client of mine. The problem is, their chosen business name "Inspired Renovations" has been taken already by someone else....we are having problems coming up with something similar. Allegedly there are some bright sparks that post on the forum ;-) so some assistance would be appreciated.
  Is there anyone that can come up with a suggestion????
  Thanks,
  Gezza

 Um, lessee........ How 'bout 'Resourcful Renovations'?
  Or perhaps, 'Renovations par excellence?
  Or, You Call, We Renovate You All!'.  
  Say, this could be fun...........

 What kind of place is it?.  Would it be too hoity-toity to translate that into another language?  I did this in Babelfish so I'm not sure of the correct translation, but something that is obviously the other language, but also obvious as to what it means like
  rénovations inspirées renovaciones inspiradas
  Or use the thesaurus like - innovational renovations maybe or renovating innovations or....?  
  Well, at least that's throwing out ideas to help the brainstorming process. |

  The major problems with Gorgo's ideas about rewording the name without seriously changing it are the ways the trade name laws are written. It would fall under dilution of trademark.
  How about "Renovators 4 U" or "Inspired Fix-it Posse"? Although, I don't know if these trade names are taken. |

  Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
  Why not question something for a change?
