Shop name

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.

Ah! Gotcha.
(I'm in super marketing mode right now, as you can imagine)

I take it SexyBritches was a "no"

Would Notty object to NottyKnickers? ;)

I kinda want to stay away from sexualizing them. Not sure why, I'd just rather keep the idea more cute and fun than sexy.

mmkay. It's going to narrow your market, especially if you're going non-gender specific, but I respect your stand on it.

Reasonably speaking, tho', the shop name won't matter as much as your keywords to snag the search engines.

Why would it narrow my market? People can choose to see them as sexy or not. I just don't want to force that connotation on them by including it in my username.

I see what you're saying. It's just that, well, sex sells quicker than anything else.
I know, I'm not being helpful now.
(and my mind just went "OH! Knicknack paddy whack!" but then it continued "give a dog a bone" and NO. Just NO.


I'm kind of going through a similar dilemma in naming my biz.
