Looking for a name for an Etsy shop

Different rules from a regular business. Etsy buyers want to feel they're buying from a person, not a store.
  1. Use your first name + a craft word rule
    Maggie's Loom. Peter's Studio. Implies a maker.
  2. Use a place + craft rule
    Brooklyn Bindery. Hudson Print Co. Localizes.
  3. Use a noun-pair rule
    Owl & Pine. Salt & Sage. Hollow & Co.
  4. Use a single craft-adjacent word rule
    Linen. Whittle. Indigo. Sturdy & Co.
  5. Avoid 'Designs' at the end rule
    Generic. Skip.
  6. Avoid 'Boutique' rule
    Old-school. Skip.
  7. Avoid your full name unless it's distinctive rule
    "Sarah Smith Designs" isn't searchable.
  8. Check the URL rule
    Even if you're not getting one yet.
  9. Check Instagram handle rule
    Same name across is a brand.
  10. Test it spoken rule
    If a podcast guest can't say it cleanly, it's not done.
