If you're using your own name, remember what happened to Martha Stewart.
She tied her brand to her name and built a business empire. Thne when her personal reputation took a hit, she lost untold millions.
What kind of business are you starting? A good strategy is to include a key benefit that your customers recieve right into the name.
One of the best places to search for a business name is the Google Keyword tool. This enables you to research how your target market actually thinks. Using a popular keyword phrase as your name, would also give you a huge advantage for the search engine ranking.
Best of luck.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I should think of a different business name rather than my name. I am dealing in canopy construction business. Could you please suggest me a business name?
Thanks,
Floyd Arthur

Hi Floyd,
If your customers are all local, it would be good to base your name on a common descriptive term use by local business to find a canopy service in the local area. At least use the work "canopy."
Tell me what city and state you're, in and I'll send you some ideas.
It is also important to base your name on a key benefit of your service. Then when you create content for your Website you'll have something to talk about. For example, are you a master of your trade? Then maybe "Canopymaster.com." Do you build original and creative canopies? Then maybe "Uniquecanopy.com."
If the benefit you offer is an important issue for new customers, then they'll want to meet with you and it'll be easier to get new customers.
For example, my business creates Websites. One thing I noticed with every customer I've dealt with, is they want to know when the Website will be ready. So I called my company Website Ready. It sets the stage for talking about everything that get's you Website Ready.
