Help me with idea's for a company name

MichaelBelgium

I don't have anyone to help me with this, but i'm sure some nice lads from here can help me! We are all technology enthousiasts I assume, which is what i need.

I already have a full time job (full stack webdev) but I do want some variation. Which is why I'd turn over to the hardware page. I have this idea to start a small PC building "company" which will also sell hardware, next to building pc's for customers or other companies + repairs/upgrades and maybe support. It will be located in Belgium only.

Now before i start this small company, i need a name. And i've only come up with one: "MV Systems"
MV = my name initials and "systems" because well .. i'll build systems. Does this sound nice already? Because I find it too mainstream for an IT company.
The name doesn't need to be dutch specifically as it's about pc stuff but if you google for "MV systems" you might already find a "MV Systems" in the netherlands, also a IT company... which is unfortunate.

So I don't know if i should stick with that name ... what else could be nice for a name?

SRIKAR_BSS

Kylo I like the vision part! Could so something like MV Techvision or something

SRIKAR_BSS whats crats? Haha

meetdilip sounds interesting but those first three bit too long for my liking

Kylo

I'd go with something like MicroVision, it's already taken by another company but you got the idea. 👍

Prosperous

EmVee Systems

Envy Systems

Just throwing something out there I guess. Seeing as tech is the new age thing, so many names are going to be taken so it's good to see you throwing in your own person behind the name so to speak. It's the only way you'll get something unique.

Having something like "Michael's Solutions" sounds unprofessional (like the small local and independent computer shop many people would drive past) and limits you in the future should things pick up.

MichaelBelgium

Prosperous Correct, that's why it's so hard to come up with a name. Whatever name i come up with, it's taken. So i'm kinda obligated to use my own initials/name.

I even had the idea for "SolidSystems MV" but "solid systems" already exists in belgium, like wtf
Other names i've thought of:

MiSystems (but Mi is a Xiaomi brand..)
MV Informatics (too mainstream? )
systeMakers MV: system + makers (sounds good in dutch + english) and as logo u could even do the "V" under the "M" of systeMakers (but I have doubts about the name tho, it doesn't sound catchy)

There are like small tech companies that only do "<initials>PC" which is so.. simple, that would result in "MVPC" like wut

Also "EmVee" is fucking 1000IQ lmao, Thank you for that inspiration, helped a lot

I would be careful with such fancy names. It looks cool, but in practice it is hard to remember, hard to pronounce when you read it, hard to spell it when you hear it, and it may lost all it context in case-insensitive form (like in domain name, or credit card).

MichaelBelgium

rob006 I don't fully agree; The correct case-sensitive form would be "eMVee Systems" it's just MV pronunciation so imo not hard to remember, nor to spell it

rob006

MichaelBelgium it's just MV pronunciation so imo not hard to remember, nor to spell it

That is true if you know origin of this name. But it is not the case for 99.999% of your potential clients - for them it is just weird word written in a weird way.

I have "software" in my company name and some people spell it incorrectly, even if this is just common word. Keep it simple.

Prosperous

MichaelBelgium I like that too!

rob006 I'm on the fence. I don't think people need to know straight away the origin of the name... It will soon be known after they do business with Michael anyway.

rob006

Prosperous It will soon be known after they do business with Michael anyway.

Unless they don't become a client, because they have seen logo or ad in one place, but later they could not remember company name ("what was that weird word?"). Or they hear that name somewhere, but then they were not able to google it, because they written it in a wrong way.

Also I'm not sure if being a client will help that much. Personally I,m not interested of origin of name of every store or service I use.

MichaelBelgium

rob006 So you would just stick with "MV" 😛 as "eMVee" is weird and difficult to remember/spell? But don,'t u think it has a cryptic, unique thing to it. Which makes it special?

Or they hear that name somewhere, but then they were not able to google it, because they written it in a wrong way.

All they have to remember is "MV" then they should find it on google .. as it's a part of "eMVee"

Feel free to find an alternative 😅

If you search for "mv systems", it won't find "emvee systems".

I think that "MV Systems" is better - it does not have all of the drawbacks of weird spelling (abbreviations are so common, that people does not have problems with them) and have really good potential for logo design.

Prosperous

MichaelBelgium I still like it... 😛

rob006 I doubt Michael is striving for worldwide success from the get go, so having search terms and what not wouldn't be an issue as a start up. As the company grows and gets bigger, then the name will be more and more well-known. Starting locally, which I only assume is the short-term plan, he would have some sort of marketing whether it be via social media, business cards, flyers, brochures, etc. People in his immediate area would know about it regardless of what the name is.

Either way and whichever name you choose, I wish you all the best of luck with it Michael. Be sure to share your name once you've stuck with one. 😉

How is this?

Emvayi (eMVayi)

Inspired by the Turkish word "Envai". It means variety.

The ".co" and ".digital" domain extensions are also idle.

Well as said in first post, i'd like something else than "MV systems" as thats widely used already. So with that name i can't stand out already

Braden Michael , MVdiscussion or Mvsolutions how does that sound? 🤭

MV Solutions passed by some times!

Yeah, only in belgium and even less so, just going to be a local pc service at start

Be sure to share your name once you've stuck with one. 😉

For now i'm sticking with "eMVee Systems" 😅 Untill something (maybe better) comes up, i'm already looking at making a logo

stryguardian

Maybe just use a word that incorporates your initials, like...

Maverick PCs
Maverick Systems

People already suggested some pretty good names. Here's my two cents: how about you sit down and think/write about your vision for the company? How will you be different from others? What make you not just another pc shop/service? What values do you want to give to your customers? What message do you want to tell them? I believe every great name has a story behind it. After you had your story down, the name will come naturally

Braden

Oops won't be a good idea to search the suggestion on domain names 🙆

Michael , MVdiscussion or Mvsolutions how does that sound? 🤭
