kinda OT: need store name
 
Hey guys,
I'm opening a video game store, and I need a name fast. I'm starting with video games and if it works out, I'll expand to DVD's also later. So, I'd prefer a name that could work for selling both games and DVDs (so nothing like "Game Mania"). I'll take all suggestions though. The only reward I can offer is the atisfaction of knowing you named a store. So, how 'bout it? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
Buster.

Congrats on opening a gaming store.

Here are my ideas:

Multimedia Center

Electric Entertainment

Visual Oddities (is there a store called that? I think I made it up........)

R.G.B For the colors in the composite cables. [sarcasim]Yup, I am a genius :lol:![/sarcasim]

Buster Montegue's Hey, you never know....

Tech Station



And for a Japanese title, how about:

Video Get! (the Exclamation mark is required)


Thats all I can think of now, some of them are weird I know but the others are pretty cool, let us know what you decide on even if you don't use any of ours :D.

Buster Montegue 02-01-02 01:15 AM

thanks for the suggestions. what do you think of these:

Under Your Thumb

Thumb Wars (have a lot of people seen the little funny movie that also bears this title?)

of the ones suggested, i like Entertainment Outpost the best. but as you can see from my ideas, i'm going for something a little less...impersonal. i want this to be a store with personality. and that starts with the name. i want my store to be the cool store to shop at. i guess i'm looking for a cool title that would make sense for a video game/movie store, but doesn't come out and say it. i can always stick "video games" underneath the store name. i'm trying to stay away from words like Digital, Entertainment, Video, Game, DVD, Interactive. there's already a zillion stores out there that have names with these type of words such as Digital Media Depot (i just made that up). i'll probably end up going with a name like that though if i can't think of anything catchy enough.

hey Outlay, how about
Buster Montegue's House of Illusion?

thanks.
Buster

How about Video Solutions/ Entertainment Solutions, ummm

Entertainment Empire, I don't know, I just think it would be cool to name a store :).

ok guys. it's getting down to crunchtime. i have to have a name by tomorrow morning. if you had to pick one of the following, which one would it be? some of them are just silly, but they're the ones i (and my friends) like the most:

Under Your Thumb
monkey VS dinosaur
Thumb Wars
Couch Monkey
de la Console


thanks.
buster.

sniper308 02-03-02 07:47 PM

of those you listed I like Couch Monkey the best ... pretty catchy.

Sorry no new suggestions of my own...

assuming you're serious, i like none of those names... :(

assuming, this is a joke, i like monkey vs dinosaur :)

Buster Montegue 02-03-02 11:56 PM

young is right. none of those names sound right if used in a sentence. for example, "I am going to drive to Monkey VS Dinosaur." doesn't really sound like you're going to a store. what about

Atom Eyes

?
I dunno. probably not any better (?)

buster.

jhiter24 02-04-02 12:07 AM

Digital Underground

I think this was a name of a band or something though........may have? I like it either way.

BTW, I like "Couch Monkey"........or even better Wet Monkey ...... nothing to do with DVD or video games but sounds cool

Dude, I think mine are all way better than these, but :p

Out of those, I guess I'd pick Under Your Thumb - it kinda sounds arts and craftsy, but it also sounds like a Social Distortion song or something.

Thrillhouse 02-04-02 02:27 PM

I second that Under your Thumb is the best name you had on your list.

Buster Montegue 02-04-02 02:51 PM

my deadline has been extended one day. what do you think about:

Extended Play

?

buster

No really I'm serious thats a dope name, wish I had thought of it.

i don't know man, saying I'm getting ready to slide down to the Couch Monkey sounds pretty cool ... You could put an old couch in the place & set it in front of some consoles & one in the back in front of a TV with a DVD player ... free trials ...
