Ask HN: Help me choose a business name?

Hey subreddit.

I am looking at going solo and creating my own creative agency. I would love your advice to help me choose a name as this is what I am struggling with the most.

My company will provide: - Web Development - Graphic design - SEO - Email Marketing - iOS App Development

I am looking for short words, easy to remember and spell and not too fancy or pretentious.

Thank you for your time.

It's a lot easier to find a good, memorable name, with the corresponding .com still available, if you go for two words instead of just one.

http://www.leandomainsearch.com is a good tool for English names. Pick one base word and let it find the second.

In one word 'Context' The interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs. It is succinct and sounds professional.
