So I think I’m going to start writing random little sites that do random things and maybe trying to make some money on the side. I don’t want it tied directly to my name so I’m thinking of starting a little company with a little name. Any ideas? I know this is super broad and vague, but I’m open to anything. It can be sort-of silly (ie delicious-monster) but not stupid (ie your-mom-jokes), or it could even be serious. People that provide half-way decent ideas will be granted beta-access to test any of my apps if they’re interested. And a hug. ---

Well, what’s the company about (or what is it going to do?) I think choosing a correct name is very important. (I know from experience from my last adventure). ---

^Eh. KDD - it’ll be for whatever I get some random desire to build. It’ll mostly be web-apps but I guess over time it could incorporate other random things. Each app will be named well, and in-line with the product. But this is the name for the umbrella company, if you will, that owns all the smaller pieces. ---

I just got the domain, I wish I had illustrator or something on my work computer to play around with a logo or wordmark but unfortunately I don’t and my mac is 3000 miles away from me for the week. ---

^Ha, yeah that’ll probably be the way to go. Alright so another question: I want to make it a legit entity in some way. I’m thinking about an LLC. I don’t plan to make this my full time job but I do plan to generate (probably very little) revenue and I would like a little protection with my products and things like that. What’s the best way to go on starting a business like this? Anyone have any thoughts or experience? [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/help-me-name-a-company/261454.md?page=2)
