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.)

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

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

What are the character limits? I mean, you could use underscores or dashes to seperate words if you are allowed. Or some will work by removing the spaces.

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

Happypants?

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

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

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.

Oh, I LOVE KNICKERBOCKERS!!!!!

Fuck. Taken. =(

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY.

[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!

It's not un-popular. In all the MMORPGs I've played, there are always one or two or three Clever_Manka's running around! :)

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

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

Otherwise, I got nuthin.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I managed to snag it on Tumblr, Dreamwidth, and LJ...

Someday I'm going to move away from Chernobly Red. Someday.

[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?

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

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

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I bet! =D

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I take it SexyBritches was a "no"

Would Notty object to NottyKnickers? ;)

[poincaraux.livejournal.com]

I vote pantsypants.

rufflebutt? cottonbottoms? um..................... why IS this so difficult?

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

Knickerbottoms?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Not sure what are the character limits, but I'd like to keep it as short as possible and not use dashes to differentiate me from another store. Too easily confused.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

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.
