- I often get asked, "Pat, how important is it on what I name my company?" Or even, "How do I go about naming my business?" Here’s what you need to know, just as important it is on what you name your kid one day, or maybe you already have, it's just as important on what you name your company because that's how people will see that company or the name for the rest of its life or career.

Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Nanmily Domain Demythification (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for finding success and profit using this online traffic source minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy at very last got cool success with it.
That stress when you've already chosen the name for startup and you see this video published... and then the relief - after watching - that you've picked a good name...!
Thank you, Pat, for such a valuable content! xx
Oli Caroline Lol same!!
I just felt so good after watching this lol.
Patrick, it's so funny that I actually went through this entire process to pick out my company's name. Thanks for making these concepts as clear and as simple as possible. Great video.
What's your favorite word? Your favorite words say a lot about what's important to you and about who you are, so it might be a good idea to use your favorite words in you company name! (But it depends of course.)
Cecilia Elise Wallin • Clear-eyed Entrepreneur, my one word is, "encourage". I chose it easily, urged on by Evan Carmichael. as I have trained over 3 dozen men in pro tree climbing, I learned how much more important it is to encourage than to criticize.:)
Jason Bean Yes, that's en excellent choice. "Encourage" is a word I love too. We should all encourage each other to do our very best! Criticizing does no good, though concise feedback embedded in encouragement often is very helpful! I haven't climbed in trees since I was a child so I'm just about to check out your channel in hope of finding some impressing tree-climbing videos! 🙂

wow, for real, from all the videos about naming your business ive seen, this is 0 bullshit video, straight to the point and everysingle word and specially Examples were valuable. GREAT video man, thanks a lot!
thank you pat. 100% content, no filler. great video and very useful tips!
I think what you said about research and associations is so important - our brains have such a complex wiring system, and it is so important to keep these historical triggers and implications in mind when choosing a business name. Great video!
Very true about choosing a company name, when i first opened i named it Bhimani Protective Services. A short month later we renamed the company to BPS Security and people loved it, it was easy to remember and say. And our name is also part of our logo we never use ot by itself.
The way he said "Leg godt" was gold 😂 good effort though 🇩🇰
Love this video... I love how you just got straight to the point...it definitely help me out.
The timing for this video it perfect! I needed this :) Thanks PBD!
Tip : You can also use a name that has two parts (but not too long) with the same first letter or the two parts should rhyme for example "Coca-Cola" they used the same first letter and rhymed. The reason for this is that the brain remembers it better.
Thank You So Much for your Efforts & for Sharing! Stay Safe & World Peace! 🌍🌷🕊
Deep and practical at the same time. Great content as usual :)
amazing as always, thank you Pat!
Pat, this was so helpful! Will be scratching off names in my planner after watching this
Just finished my exams for 3 months and ready to build! I have to begin execution because I truly want to allow myself to be labelled as a teenage entrepreneur!
so your videos became the number 1 to hear while cooking :) I know this is not how you intent people to use them, but will give you a hint how they helped in couple of years ;)
Great value as always.
Thanks a lot I was waiting for this
Amazing Video, very crisp and concise, keep it up David Sir. Love from India.
I swear he called it the wolksvagen
Great video! I went through a lot of the issues you discussed in coming up with my channel name too, eventually I would like to make it into a business... I love your videos!
Where can I find the date that some business/company was created? Thank you!
Meaningful with impactful message behind it
straight to the point thank you
Great value right there. Thanks.
Just renamed my company because the name was taken. Should of Did my research first. Hope the new name really grows on me!!
I didn't take this seriously at all when i started my business. I just chose "Advanced Physiques" because it was also the same initials as my first and last name. I also didn't take my business seriously at all when i started it, but here we are now! I'm glad I chose it. Great video Pat.
+Anthony Pietrobono there you go. Each name has a story behind it.
Priceless as always, thank you Pat :D
I have a question, in a sale business ( bakery for example ) should i be in the front showing everyone that i own the business ( knowing that i don't interact with the customers, i have workers in the shop ) or should i stay and work in the shadows, and only interact with individuals for business opportunities ?
the best channel in UA-cam till now for me. Thanks a lot .
+Millan Poudel 🙏
Love your videos!❤️
Hey Pat, what happened to the subscribe pillow?
great video as always
Very helpful!!!
I have a question I'm trying to register my business name. I have a domain already. But when I go register it ask me if is a fictitious name or llc. My business is a web design business.
I have a question
Should I start a business which has very small marlet
i'm going to be honest, but when I read "Valuetainment" first time, I thought it stood for Value-Attainment.
The founder such a great movie, 99 house is a good one too, definitely watch it!!!
cool pillow patrick !! so far this is the best.
Great video...Thank you..
Very important topic that is a lot of times overlooked. Thanks Pat, awesome advice as always.
+Fernando Rocha 👍🏼👊🏼
Great video like always.
The research part couldn't be stressed enough. I did come up with a name, only to find out that it has been taken (several times). I'm curious to know what services are available (not fiverr) for someone needing help in the naming department?
This video is true true true and true! so smart thank you for that !
Awesome vídeo.. thanks..
Hi there! Would it be a good idea to make up a word and use it as a business name? I always think i shouldn't do this because people will not know what it stands for or how to pronounce it. Thanks a lot!
Great video!
Love your content.
Solid as always...
Thank you Pat
Pat, I would like to build on your "how to start a business for under $500" episode. Naming a service-oriented business with the desired market in mind is an option. Mentioning so will add value to this video. It builds on your principle of specification; narrowing and focusing on a target market/industry. For example, National City Notary or Del Mar Detailing.
Respectfully,
-JQ
Awesome!!!
Hi. It has being months finding a name of a company. Well. I believe that it is easy for a company that sells product. But I am confused to find a name for a company the sell a service. Kindly advise how to find a name for a company that will sell their service. Any suggestion of rules... Thank for your feedback. SK
All solid points
What is the board behind you and the type of markers/chalk? Thumbs up!
Hey! Valuetainment answered this question on this video watch?v=ibJAjemBq48&t=374s
Search for "board" on the comment section
Good information
Always you get value from Valuetainment videos great- thank you !
I see some websites have one domain having multiple serps listings like tiffany rings (ecommerce cazegory pages) or websites with multiple blog topics have category pages and get multiple serps listings.
is category pages a good way to achieve this goal?
or having you name with multiple similar domains (smaller one topic sites) like this;
namemedia (podcasts and videos)
nameguides (articles, guides)
namequotes (quotes, notes)
nameblogs (multiple topic blogs)
What do you think it's best ? Multiple domains will be more of work and costs...one domains is easier to handle.
Have a nice day to all !
This is great
how do i know if the name i have decided for my company is already registered?
Thanks Pat for thanks for the video like it so much coz its more on solving the current problem that I have, About Giving my company a name.
I come from a Country where English is our official language but the have locals have Ethnic local Languages,
My question is should my name be in the local language OR the English that is spoken officially.
Great video.
Hey Pat, if I name my restaurant "Best Bagels In Town", and two other ones already have it, but they´re in the U.S (I´m from Germany) is it legal ?? Greetings from Germany
How good is the name Future Easy for my tech company that I am planning about?
thank you Pat
thanks for the history lesson...
Sir thanks very much for giving me this information.. Sir I want open a General store and restodant in Uttrakhand India please suggest me a good name for grocery Store business..please
never regret....thanks Pat....
Nice talk David. Can we also reflect on scores of successful businesses which names on their own mean nothing?
We must remember that the perception in the eyes of consumers and the public goes a long way about a business.
The coinage of a name may simply be an additional boost.
Many examples are abound. Just look around.
So we shouldn't over flog it.
Get a good product out there. Sustain a good culture and your business will be remembered for that...
Start your business
I’m having such a hard time with naming my fitness business. Any ideas where I can research ideas

Need help with my new company name. It is a graphic design firm that creates logos.

Any ideas?
Keep going, i am 18 and i am going study management and one day i wanna have a company and for now i am absorving all information and getting educated from you
thanks bro!
+AJC 99 👍🏼👊🏼
I still dont know, first i want to work as a management in a company and learn a lot before i build an one. But the company would be about finances
ps: my english is bad, sorry xD
and you ?
But are you gonna take some degree ? cuz it gives you some advantage and good knowledge
that's cool
You should make a video setting goals for the "Notification Squad" and how they can help the channel grow :)
Too good for people
I've noticed over the course of watching plenty of the videos on this channel, that you stress the skill of being able to sell (when you're not preaching Entrepreneurship) could you perhaps make an introductory video on the skill of sales? How do I convince the average person to spend their hard earned money on something that would benefit both me and the consumer. Thanks.
I named my tree care company, "Nature's Way Earth Care". I was inspired by the Spirit song and the idea that trees are part of nature. it was too long.
Jason Bean I like the name, but agree - it might be too long. How about Earth Cares or In Earth's/Mother's Hands or simply just Nature Cares
this guy is strong! i trust this guy!
Just curious - Your thoughts on what the possibilities are of a future brand still to come that will top big giants like Amazon & Appel?
Which Camera your video
Google has a meaning it's a number I believe but nonetheless thank you for the info
they also go by Alphabet
Are you thinking about Googol?
haha good timing for this video. I just started my channel and to be honest I really don't like my name. Still trying to figure it out.
Like your logical approach for this video, great stuff.
Successful Minds Same
Dr Manhattan and Silver Surfer: The Matter Bosses I'm going to guess that his channel name is "successful minds".
Feel free to send me some good channel names!
Successful Minds What is your channel all about? Personal development I guessed, but do you have niche?
Hey hate, personal development & how to achieve financial freedom with a focus on working from your laptop. I spent a long time looking into online income and there was not really someone out there who gave, real advice. I'm trying to fill that void.

Hey I want to creat a travel channel on UA-cam, however, m a bit confused. Is it a good idea to name the UA-cam channel and all social media platforms like facebook, twitter, instagram and blog with a similar name OR is it OK to name differently on all these platforms. Is it OK to name the channel and all social media platforms with my own name, or do I have to name the channel according to my niche? Which is Travel. Because I see a lot of UA-camrs whos channel names and social media platforms has nothing to do with travel, yet they do travel vlogs and blogs and get more and more subscribers. Need ur help.
What number should i choose when i wanna start a tshirt business
'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It’s our name and it’s our ideal.
Great video, really needed it but Google and Twitter are not made up words Patrick.
Just that part allone threw me off for the rest of the video :S
