I think you're best placed to come up with a name

Something that reflects what you wrote but also that 'means' something to you, perhaps a name that echoes the nature of your business directly.

Brainstorm about 10 and then Google them to see what comes up, that might upset or inspire. If it's going to be a registered trade mark best to chek it's not already taken from that perspective too. See which of these names translates into a good Website URL and then go check those.

Other than that I haven't got a clue.

Mark.

It can be tough

I developed a checklist which I used based on an article I read - the link to the article is not working so I'll just summarise the main points to prompt your creativity:

keywords
synonyms
benefits you offer
cliches
Superlatives
Client's pain/problems
Paradox
Mythology

Depending on how important your website is in your overall marketting strategy you might want to use one of the domain name registration companies' sites to tell you what names are available as you're thinking.

Cheers

Pete
