Name for Web Design Business

[Tread42]

I know, I know I should be able to think of a stinking name...I've been kicking a few around but can't decide and thought one of you "creative" people might have something.

Background: I only design pages on the side. I'm an IT manager by day and dabble in web design. Never thought much of my skills but have been continually picking up work via word of mouth and references from past clients. And my accountant thinks it's time to setup an offical business.

Anyhow, I'm based in IN and am a huge sportsfan. Do any of these grab you or are they off target in your opinion? Please offer up any suggestions you may have brewing in your head.

My first name is Todd so I was thinking of playing off of the Double T's but it looks like most URL's are taken.

Regards,
Tread42

You should really check with your local government offices before choosing a name for your business. If you're in the US, you'll have to check with your local business license department. They will check to see if the name is already being used by others in there jurisdiction. It's also a good idea to do a state-wide search of the name in case it's being used by a company that is incorporated in your state. (This is a legal issue - corporations can, and will, sue you if your company name is the same as their's.)

Time consuming - and sometimes costly - but a necessary part of starting a business.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
