Name Your Company With Your Personal Name  

Some business owners elect to use their own personal name as their business name. Generally, I do not recommend naming your business after yourself – except in a few instances – read more in my article about naming a business after yourself here

FYI: Avoid using business owner initials as a business name. Some new entrepreneurs decide to use their initials as their company name. This is not a good idea, because names such as SMA Cleaners are boring, easy to forget, hard to spell and pronounce.

Use Acronyms to Come Up Company Name

An acronym is different from a name made up of owner initials because it creates a new word. 

Some examples; IBM is an initial name (for International Business Machines) which is spoken as each letter separately – I -B- M.

An example acronym name is LEGO (short for Leg Godt – danish for “play well”) and is pronounced as one word.

Use my pro checklist below of important criteria to help you make the best name choice.

Checklist to Choose Your Best Business Name – 9 Important Considerations

1. Communicates Your Product and Services – Is it relevant to your products and services? Don’t be so clever that you confuse customers and they can’t figure out what you are selling.
   
   Good name for a cleaning company = Neat Nancy
   Bad name for a cleaning company  = Purple Blooms 
2. Manageable to pronounce – Be sure that your name can be spoken (and understood) easily. You want lots of customer referrals so make it easy for word of mouth advertising. People will remember names that are easy to say and forget companies with complex or unpronounceable names.
   
   Good name for a cleaning company = Polished Executive Office Cleaners
   Bad name for a cleaning company  = Synergistic Dynamic Commercial Cleaners
3. Easy to spell – Aim for a name that is easy to spell so customers can easily find you in telephone directories and online search engines. Also, the best names are of a short to medium length so they are easier to write and type. 
   
   Good name for a cleaning company = Clean Bees Services
   Bad name for a cleaning company  = Multi-Dimensional Cleaners
4. Simple to remember – The easier it is for customers to remember your company names the more likely they are to refer you to their friends and family.
   Good name for a cleaning company = Clean Bees Cleaning Services
   Bad name for a cleaning company  = Multi-Dimensional Cleaners
5. Distinctive & Unique – Your best name choice is distinct and unlike your market competitors’ brand names to avoid customer confusion.  Unique names stand out positively. Verify that your name choice is not taken or trademarked in your State.  

6. Is Flexible and Expandable – Choose a name that is flexible enough to allow your business to grow and new products and services. Don’t limit yourself too much. Select a name that provides the ability to expand to other markets and locations also. 
7. Check for Rude or Negative Meanings – Take time to verify that what you think is funny your customers don’t view as rude! Plus research any negative meanings of the words you have in your company name. This is especially important if you serve foreign markets or ethnic customers. Speak to native speakers of their mother tongue to clear your name ideas.

First – Create Cleaning Related Keyword List

To name your cleaning company start by brainstorming to create a list of keywords related to cleaning services and sanitation. These are the words that you will enter into the company name generator. 

Remember garbage in – garbage out. This means that the better, more focused, and creative, your keywords are the better – and more interesting – your name idea results will be.

Search Engine 

An easy way to brainstorm keywords is to use Google. Put in your business type (house cleaning, commercial, office cleaning) plus “keywords”. Example – “house cleaning + keywords”. Scroll through keyword pages such as this one and pick up related words.

I found these cleaning-related keywords =  window cleaning, carpet, spring cleaning, staff, weekly cleaning, apartment, housekeeping, floor, kitchen. 

Thesaurus

Also try using a thesaurus for your primary service word (cleaning) for synonyms (words that mean the same thing) I found tidying, dusting, sweeping, wiping, scrubbing and washing. 

Glossary

Another source of creative keywords is a glossary of cleaning terms like this one.  Here I discovered even more good keywords to input into the name generator including; freshen up, mop, polish, finish, shiny and sparkling.
