mama needs a new name
I need your help
Let's face it, Waterstone Jewelry doesn't cut it anymore. Any suggestions? I've got a new poll to your immediate right - so please answer there. If you have another name, add it in a comment here. I will seriously consider your offerings. Unless it's something like youreanass.com or handbagsbystupid.com. Here are the only rules:
waterstone.com is taken - boo hiss
I think that omitting the name "waterstone" will be too much of a change
agree? disagree?
needs to be easy to spell.
waterstonesupercallafragileistic.com is a bit much. Capeesh?
Okay, your turn. Lay it on me. Puleeze. Read the poll and read the suggestions below or add your's. Only vote once though or else it'll throw me off.
I'm not that smart.

LOVE the pic. Let me think about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I snickered at the rejects.
I'm gonna think more about it, but first thing that comes to mind...
ReplyDeletesuperawesomeupcycledbagsbywaterstone.com...like I said, I'll think about it. :)
love your dog..
ReplyDeleteWaterstone Designs
Waterstone's
Waterstone Studio
these are not earth shattering but easy to remember and type in
How about Lori's Waterstone Studio or waterstone designs by Lori. When I chose Do-Rah! designs, little did I know, the internet doesn't let you use -, or !. I am now known as dorah...oh well...kinda stinks. Good luck. Can't wait till next week, congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI know!!!! ofallthewaterstonesthisisthebest.com

ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that I own the url: http://loriplyler.com. Thought of using my name but 9 times out of 10 people misspell Plyler. Truly sucky last name. SUCKY.
ReplyDeleteBut I love you, Mr. W even if your name does suck.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is definitely worth a thousand words..as if the dog is saying "Oh, please!"
ReplyDeleteHow about waterstonecreatives? It covers a multitude off things-not limited to bags...
Hmmmmmm.......
ReplyDeleteLady Wawa
Hands to the Grindstone
Waterloo
Watering Hole
Water Logged
Waterstone Handmade ...is that taken ???
Is That Your Waterstone...or are You Just Happy to See Me ?
......
Maybe Waterstone Revival......
I like WaterstoneOriginals. I am assuming that you will do more than just bags, still some jewelry now and then.
ReplyDeleteMy actual original thought before I wrote this was The Waterstone Way. Because what I see from you is that you have an aesthetic, a process and a philosphy behind what you create whether is the same no matter if it is a bag or a necklace.
That is my two cents.
Enjoy the day!
Erin
I like WaterstoneOriginals, but I also like Erin's other name:The Waterstone Way.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic you posted, those eyes just suck you in!
Good luck on choosing a new name!
Beth
Just a play on a previous:
ReplyDeleteStudio Waterstone
BTW.....
ReplyDeletewww.studiowaterstone.com is currently still available :)
WaterstoneCreations - and yes...the domain name is still available
ReplyDeletePersonally, I really like Waterstone Jewelry!! I think it suits you and your designs and sounds quite classy. I guess it doesn't get across the other types of items you offer, like bags though, huh?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like Waterstone...also consider how much brand recognition you have now that you could potentially lose with a name switch.
Sue
P.S. Looks like lots of good ideas here, though!
Sorry, about the joke, it was more a comment on how much I'm loving my bag....okay, I thought about it and I'm thinking Waterstone Handmade...that way you're not trapped into just bags and you can make the occasional jewelry....you could put in your tagline: Handmade, upcycled bags and unique jewelry.
ReplyDeleteJust thinkin'...
Hi Marcie,
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me!? I loved your comment/joke. The long name made me laugh out loud. In fact, There have been some really funny names suggested and some terrific names I hadn't thought of. Now I've got to decide - the tough part.
Those were some great (and hilarious!) suggestions :). I voted for waterstoneoriginals.
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to go my route and call you Waterstone Studio! (oops already gone). Maybe Studio Waterstone? Kind of like Studio 54!
ReplyDeleteI think Waterstone Originals is available.
Authentic Waterstone is like a double play on your use of authentic materials and your authentic design aesthetic. And it gets you to the front of the phone book since it starts with an A! woop!
And...if you wanted something a little more artsy....how about
ReplyDeleteAtelierWaterstone?
How about WaterstoneReMade? Also, I have a Banana Republic bomber jacket in brown leather that my husband bought in his youth and wore like 4 times - it's yours for the price of postage :-)
ReplyDeleteElisabeth,
ReplyDeleteI love WaterstoneReMade! I'm also in, chickie, on the bomber jacket. There will be a little something in it for you, too. Thank you!
