Why/What/How did you name your photography services/business/website?

I'm not really happy with my website name. I started a similar thread a few weeks ago, and it kind of petered out to nothing in short order.

Perhaps if I pose the question this way, I'll get a better response:

1. What did you name your photography website / services / business?
2. How and why did you choose the name you did?

 

Your Name Photography. The domain name was available. You become your brand. Most people will hire you because of your personality not your photography.

 

What he said...
Don't get caught up in business names, etc.

 

Beemer Photography

Beemer is my nickname (due to my initials).

Just keep it simple and easy to pronounce.

 

Thing is ... my name simple, but boring, and my initials are clumsy to pronounce, especially in a string of text that would compose a domain name

 

I used mylastnamephotography. Pretty standard and people know me in my town.

 

Yeah same thing here pretty much.

I did the name thing too, photography.mattbasile.net

 

manaheim, I do like that name and I think it's really fitting.

I haven't yet figured out a niche for myself (I don't know if I ever will), so I don't think I can come up with a name to describe the type of photos I take.

 

When deciding on a name, consider how easy or difficult the name would be to find in a yellow pages phone book or on the net. Consider key words too to link to search engines.

I am not a fan of kitchy names with it comes to photography. I agree that YOU are your brand and your name is synonymous with your photography.
