What to Name the Business?

My new social media coaching/consulting business is doing quite well! I haven't made any money, of course, but I've been handling my free sample sessions very professionally, getting testimonials, and have three speaking engagements lined up! Yay!

It's really time for me to get business cards and a Website, but before that, I need a name and so I'm soliciting your help! This is a business that helps create a custom social media strategy depending on your need. The target audience are people that are new to social media and don't know where to start.

I made a list of possibilities for a business name and the domain name was already taken for just about everything I came up with. However there were a few that were not yet spoken for.

  • Social Media 101 - Custom Social Media Solutions (socialmedia101.com)
This implies the "getting started" with the 101. Kind of like Social Media for Dummies, but not quite as insulting.
  • Ask Yvette - Social Media Coaching / Consulting (askyvette.com)
Since my own first name is unique, I kind of like this one. Yes, I'm copying AskLizRyan. At least I'm using my own name! Of course, people have been pronouncing and spelling my name wrong my whole life, so I'm not sure I want to propagate that same issue to my business...
  • Coach 2.0 - Social Media Coaching / Consulting (CoachTwoPointO.com)
Even though a surprising number of people have not yet heard of "Web 2.0" I think the 2.0 suffix is becoming more and more popular. I hear more and more "2.0" references every day.
  • Coach 2 Point Oh! - Social Media Coaching / Consulting (CoachTwoPointOh.com)
This is an attempt to be cute with the "Oh!" at the end...implying one of those lightbulb moments when you finally get it.

  • The Frugal Social Media Coach - Low Cost Strategy - Big Returns (frugalcoach.com)
This doesn't quite have the same ring as "The Frugal Gourmet" but I want to imply that I'd help the client get the best bang for the buck. Let's face it, I am pretty cheap (actually free right now!)

What do you think? I'll get a poll up, but if you have another idea, please comment or send me an email. This baby needs a name!
