I'm stuck naming my business. It's drone digital twins, mapping buildings and farmland and making 3D models or elevation maps. Nothing crazy but I'm making enough money I need to do it right and everyone keeps asking who I work for when I'm just a sole operator.I tried to use AI but it got stuck or something and kept giving me dictionary mixes instead of anything useful so I figured I'd ask here.How did you name your business? What would you name a drone mapping one? I feel like I'm stuck on the first step and this long road ahead is going to be a lot longer if I can't handle something so simple.

>>62330379GeoGeo I think the Normies would like this
>>62330379Oh hi Mark!
Appreciate the feedback so far. I think I'm gonna pour another, think a bit more, and if I can't beat the lot I'm just gonna roll and see what god gives me. (hopefully not map niggaz)

>>62330703I would use map niggaz.Then id get to say nigga out loud
>>62330379My experience with businesses and side projects is picking a name is difficult, but once you do and stick with it for a little while, putting work into it the business, you start to like the name more and get attached to it.Most importantly, make sure it doesn't have any red flags:>passes the radio test>no hyphen or weird characters>Has .com, or .io if tech, or a relevant new gTLD like .travel, .whatever, available.>Not copyrited or conflicting with some existing big brand, or having a name that will get drowned out in SEO.If all that checks out, you can basically pick any name that sounds half way decent to you, and once you put a couple months of work into it, you'll feel attached to it without any sort of question.BTW, those names look boring af. Very early 90's .com boom sounding. Just ask it to list mythological names having to do with cartography, mapping, or flying creatures, or discovery.
>>62330721Thanks. I've been really struggling with the radio test because most anything named "drone" or "mapping" is taken until you start spelling things wrong or using mixes of made up words. I found a site that generates better names than this AI did. I asked it and what it gave me was a list of things that sound like pokemon lmao. I'm not worried about being attached to a cool name, I just wanted something simple that explains what I did that wasn't just "drone map guy" or worse, some dumb mashup like above.
>>62330379GoonMark
>>62330379So you bought a dji and flew it around? Why would anyone pay for that? The drone literally does everything by itself now, auto flies auto scan auto reconstruction etc
>>62330379Naming the business doesn't need to be the first step.
>>62330379What about world lens? Nimbus overseer? Raven discovery? Farsight topographic? Or Just dronalizermapping?

>>62330379Some generic approaches:1. your family name or geographic location, + what you do - examples>Minnesota mining & manufacturing>Dell computer2. fancy or abbreviated names for what you do, example>Microsoft3, completely unrelated words that randomly come to you but sound somewhat positive>AppleThink of a few more generic name schemes, then sit down and have a brainstorming and generate as many names from all of them as you can. After an hour, have another brainstorming session, generate more. You will get better each session.If you have friends, ask a good friend to participate in the brainstorming, Two minds generate more weird random nanes than one. Only then start making choices and eliminating the most stupid ones. Then reearch the shortlist for red flags(can not be already taken, .com domain available?. can bot be hard to pronounce or have an offensive menaing in any major world language)

>>62331403Oh and do the brainstormings all on paper, with a pen in your hand, no screens or electronic devices nearby. Doing it the old-fashioned way activates your brain.

>>62330379Tesla, he was an electrical scientist and inventor. Amerigo Vespuche, was a mapper.
>>62330379You don't actually have to come up with a sleek business graphic just because. You can name your entity your last name combined with your business avenue like Johnson Drone Specialists or D. Hastings - Mapping & Drone Software. Or use the town or area you are in.
>>62330539ThisDont try to be a hip tech startup when youre actually a one man thing and maybe want to stay that way anyway, name + what youre doing sounds good

>>62330379AI sucks at naming a businessGo with:>something very descriptive (Advanced Drone Mapping Ltd.)>something symbolic in one word that’s seemingly unrelated like Apple, Tesla, Nvidia>your family name (Henderson Technologies LLC)
>>62330581I like GeoGeo a lot desu, sounds like something that will become viral.Many other good suggestions ITT btw.>>62330682Kek
>>62331863>Geo-Go>Neo-Arc>Geo-Neo>Geo-Arc>Clairvoyance Some other ideas
>>62332200>Crystallize>ClarityA couple more. Something that is fun to say or just a single word that emphasizes your software. Big Companies never really just have a simple name that explain what they do, take Apple for example, Apple is just fun to say and emphasizes simplicity. I “crystallize” I kind of like because it emphasizes how you mapping soft ware gives you a crystal clear picture. Try and think in this regard when naming your company
>>62332226I hope you don't work in marketing.
>>62330379Go to bed Pedro.
Never ask AI to come up with company names, it's horrible at that

>>62330379>How did you name your business?I picked a name that i didnt mind repeating a thousand times a day, that i could create a logo for, and that i could get a .com domain for. Fyi….dont actually post the name you choose otherwise bizraelis will snipe the doman just to fuck with you.

>>62330379Are willing to give any advice on starting this type of business?
>>62332200>Geo-Neo
>>62330379Just think whether you yourself would buy something with that name on it.Also it should not sound like some other company that already exists in the market.AI also sucks at naming stuff, so don't bother with that.
thanks for the input everyone it at least feels good to get support heresorry ive been gone i wrecked while riding on the weekend and was in the hospitalim okay, always wear your helmet>>62336267very straightforward, any business effectively provides either a product or a servicewhat i currently do is fly the drone over construction areas and provide the data to a vendor - the vendor then scrubs the data and makes a report they sell to the customerlearn the software, learn how to make the report, learn how to fly, get licensed, learn how to sell and market, put it all together and try to survive
>>62331567lol
>>62332383If I worked in marketing I would have been smart enough to add flair by substituting the “c” for a “k”. “Krystallize”. BOOM! There it is!>Krystallize 3d mapping software. The crystal clear solution for modelling real world 3d spaces. It is perfect.
>>62338467>Krystallize your vision. That is the slogan. Fkn genius
>>62338495Actually maybe the name should be “Krystallite” that’s better.
>>62330877>why would anybody pay for the use of a tool they don't own and a skillset they don't haveGee anon idk

>>62330379Some of the best business names are things that sound familiar but aren’t, or have something unusual about them that makes you think about them, for example a misspelling. How about ScanTek. Or Rendr.
>>62331403>AppleHow about Potato
>>62338735Tato
>>62333848I like Heights and Widths LLC
>>62330379Twidder, we are maps
>>62330539Solid advice, but I'll add my thoughts. Avoid calling it what it is, i.e. do not call it cartography if it's already in the business of cartography. Call it by a buzzword-y quality or "core tenet" of your cartography. Some examples might be: "BroadTom", "ClearTom", "MapHub", "Viewgrid Alpha". Look at other competing businesses in that market sector and copy them.
