Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Need Help with fun company name!
Hello,
Looking at restarting our business, and need help with a company name. I want something fun and fresh! Doesn't need to tie my name in it, but it would be cool if I could. I don't want it based on location, as we plan to move
Also, I will be keeping various things, but mainly ball pythons and geckos of assorted species.
My name is Desire' Sommers.
One that keeps sticking in my head is Desisaurus Gex, but it is kinda one sided to geckos. That, and I'm not sure it may be to "playful" to be on the side of childish.
Any suggestions guys? I am sure there is plenty of creative people here!

What kind of business? breeding/selling reptiles?
IMO, the 'Desisaurus Gex" thing is a bit of a mouthful. You want something that rolls off the tongue a little better. Also, you say you want something fun..but what is your target clientel? Kids / noobs to the hobby? or the more "pro" crowd that is willing to spend more $$?
It might be interesting to play on your name a little. Same spelling, different meaning; i.e. desire as in to want or yearn for something.
Just throwing some out:
Desirable Geckos
Desirable Reptiles
Geckos of Desire
Spot-On Geckos (referencing the term "spot-on" meaning, "exactly","correct" or "right on the money"; i.e. "those geckos are spot-on!")

What I like to do when I help clients with this sort of thing is to take a handful of keywords that come to mind relating to they themselves or their business and then mixing and matching until I have a couple options.
DESIRE: admiration, ambition, appetite, ardor, attraction, craving, craze, devotion, fancy, frenzy, inclination, infatuation, lasciviousness, love, lust, passion, rapture, yearning
Rapture Reptiles
Reptiles of Rapture
For the Love of Reptiles (I think this ones cute)
Summer's Desire Reptiles
Just a few examples.

Thanks for the ideas guys! My target audience would be more pro-oriented, as I will be dealing with morphs of ball pythons and the like.
It would be CBB and selling reptiles. No importing or exporting.
I do like your idea of Desirable Reptiles, even though I hate when people call me Desire instead of Desire' haha! Rapture Reptiles is very cute too! I like the "For the love of Reptiles" but I wonder if it's too long?
Thanks for the neat ideas guys, I am still mulling over it at night
Anyone else?

For the Love of Reptiles has the same amount as syllables as mine does.
Make sure you run searches on whatever your considering before you commit. You don't want a conflicting name that could get you confused with someone else.

Good luck on picking your company name - it took me forever to pick mine out - but once I did - the name was great to work with and design the site around! I actually had started out as Diamond Morphs (still own the domain name), but it just seemed like a name that wasn't memorable and too "generic" if you will. When I was talking to a good friend, I mentioned that my available page would be called "The Nest" as a play on my first name. She said that she really thought I should re-name my site Robin's Nest Reptiles.
It fits perfectly for me - I found someone to design my vision of my logo (it's my avatar) and got with a web designer who's work I really liked and I think that the three of us came up with a site and business name that's perfect for me!
I wish the same success for you in the quest for your business name!
