Where does your Company Name Come From?

I bought mine from Anthony lol. Well, it's a forum on freelance where we talk....talkfreelance As for banners2go, I wanted to create a small network of sites and I liked the idea of the "2go" label, it made sense and to my shock banners2go was available so I registered it.

Cannell is my last name.. put far in front of it and say it out loud pretty kewl huh?

(not actually a business yet)

started out back in '99 with RIM Design (Rys Interactive Media), Rys being my last name. Then had pressure from another design firm in Florida, and even a magazine in France who pretty much forced me to change the name. After a long time of name searching, a friend put it pretty simple..."Customers want to deal with real people and a real company." SoReal Media/Paintball/Imports/Hosting/Network was born

Haha - nice

Pointe Media - I live In Grosse Pointe, so that's where the pointe comes from, and such we supply media, thats where the media comes from.

No business name

Travis: Ficticous name statements are only like 20 dollars or something over here, which allow you to operate under any name even if its just you. pretty simple thing to get at your county clerks office.

LLC = teh pwn. i just don't have $50 for it yet. ><

( 5 + 9 = 14 - The age at which I started the company. )

Smart, I know :P

Well, i needed to think of a domain so i went to the supermarket to buy a packet of digestive biscuits, while I was there i saw an old man looking a tin of beans. I was interested in the beans, the tin was a different color than most bean tins, so i went to look at one myself. By the time i had grasped the suttle frame of the bean tin a magical little pixie ladned on my shoulder and said "Good day fine sir, i have found gold in nigeria and wish to send it to you for an up-front payment", at this point i realised that it is 2:20 am and i have no idea what i am writing about Therefore i shall shut up before i make a complete fool out of myself...whoops too late.

I have no idea how i came up with an of the ideas of any of the domains i have ever bought, but it was probably something like what i said above
