Shop name

[clevermanka]

I can't think of a good name for my Etsy bloomers shop. I was hoping to use clevermanka, but it's already taken (wtf). So are fancypants, sassypants, smartypants, and prettypants. I can think of nothing that works with the word "bloomers" that doesn't sound too cutesy. I'm trying to remain gender neutral--no "bloomergirl" or the like.

Suggestions?



Oh for godssake. Even "knickerknacks" is taken. At this point, I think Etsy is just fucking with me.

Late bloomers might be a bit cutesy, but that is the first thing that crossed my mind.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha! Funny, but I don't much care for the connotations...

Pants in bloom?
Sassy britches?
Smarty britches?
Bitchin' britches? (Okay, probably not allowed.)
Blooming bloomers?
The Ant's Pants? (Corollary to the bee's knees, ya know.)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I should've specified, sorry! It's gotta be a single word, like an LJ name.

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

You might also play with the fact that they were called knickers or knickerbockers.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh, I LOVE KNICKERBOCKERS!!!!!

Fuck. Taken. =(

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Happypants?

I am immoderately fond of the term "gitchies" but... yeah, well.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I associate "gitchy" with the feeling that Rose gets in the Bone comics when her dreaming state comes on. =D

who took clevermanka? I'm gonna go knock them down.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

SexyBritches?

One thought, do you really want to limit your shop name to the bloomers? You may want to do something else later and you might want to keep your *brand* history a bit more open.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I don't want to do the online vending thing indefinitely. In fact, I'll be closing up shop as soon as I'm out of these novelty cottons I've got stocked!

bloomincotton? (if they are all cotton and you are specializing the shop)

Otherwise, I got nuthin.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

They are all cotton, but...anything with "blooming" just doesn't speak to me. It seems too...obvious? Also, I have always hated the term "blooming" as a substitute for rude words. =D

WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT?

[poincaraux.livejournal.com]

I vote pantsypants.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I might have to take you up on that.

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Knickerbottoms?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Perfect for outfitting an underwear-only cast of Midsummer Night's Dream! =D

[bluetourmaline.livejournal.com]

Pantsdemonium.
Pantseon.
Pantsomime.
Pantshandle.

Do I have an excuse to make silly puns? Yes, I have an excuse to make puns.

Pantser. (surprised that's not taken). Also Pantherpants.
Pantsopticon.
Pantsagruel.
Saucepants.

Just a few more suggestions:

RuffledBloomers

FlauntedBloomers

PeafowlsPantaloons

BloomersQuill

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Those are charming, but looooong and not easy to remember. I want people to be able to remember the name and find me again!

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

I thought "pantsland" which then make me thing of Danceland, the club in the Bordertown series, which then made me thing of Nina Hagen's "New York New York" where she sings about Danceteria which makes me thing "pantseteria". Obviously it's my bedtime.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Pantsland is actually pretty damn cute.

[royal-spice.livejournal.com]

I'm too lazy to read all the comments and see if this has been suggested:

knickerbloomers

Like knickerbocker, but knickers and bloomers.
