My name is Alex Girbu and I want to be a Singer, so any suggestions to mix up with something or just a fake last name idea ?

Does your name influence whether you want to use it as a business name?

My profession is graphic design, so I feel like I had already a good amount of knowledge regarding branding good practices (which btw you are spot on in your vid). Throughout design school I had to come up with so many fake business names, that I started using a "cheap trick" of looking up the etymology of the word and going for the greek/latin/whatever version, or making a name out of the first syllables/letters. For example, I'd have a Woodworking Shop, then I'd call it "Mater Woodshop" (latin for wood) or "WooSho", etc. So when I had to brand my business, I decided to try the trick on my name. P for my first name, and Antonia for my middle name (which I like more than my first)... resulting in Pantonia. I thought it was super fitting, as it also resembles the word "Pantone", which is SO appropriate for a design/illustration/printing business :p

[@EasySundayClub]

@@Pantonia that’s really clever and to validate your approach, I did think of Pantone when I saw your name :). This is a smart way to think of a name that will stay meaningful to you over time without actually using your name. Thanks for sharing!

For sure! My Etsy shop is opening again soon, and the name helped me get a handle on my waterprint :)
