Alcatraz
We've been racking our brains (me and Lenny, that is) trying to come up with a name for a company that we are in the fledgling stages of starting.  It is REALLY hard to come up with something that is personally meaningful but doesn't sound stupid.  We've brainstormed seriously for the last two days and there is not a lot that is sticking out saying, "Pick me! Pick me!"

SO... if you were a client/ financially based organization what would you be called?  You need to sound strong yet caring, original (if possible), brand-able (depending on growth), easily spelled, with longevity so that 10 years down the road you don't sound pathetically trendy. 

We've got one, maybe, but it lacks originality.  Something might have to be sacrificed - originality looks to be it, so far. 

I'm getting antsy to get going though.  Without the name, we cannot set up the LLC, get an address, business cards or credit.

Have you played around with words from other languages that mean or describe the service you're going to offer?

Hmm. Tough without knowing exactly what you are selling.... let's see..

Annua ,(pronounced: Uh-New-A) its got a Hawaiian thing going but kinda references finance, like annuity and annual report..:)

Simple Economics becomes uuhh Synomics or maybe Synomical

ApenurA (Anti-penury goes to Uh-pen-ur-uh) :) = wealth!

Opulcents (Op-ul-cents)) sounds like opulence

Prosperime (pros -pear- uh- me)
