Using your own name is not a fictitious name if you plan to set it up like a legal business.

For a quilter, they may not take note of tag name including "Craft".
Likewise, a crafter might not give a second look with a "Quilt" focus in your name.

Then consider what all you are planning or how it may evolve ... classes, patterns and then what?

While you may not have the big vision totally figured out right now, it could have an impact later.


An example, totally unrelated to yours, but I think you will understand ... the businesses that name themselves after the street they are located on. Then they move, and the name has no relevance. Especially the ones that included the street name in their business name. Talk about confusing people.

In the end ... it's more of a case of build it and they will follow.
I have some blogs that I follow ... the names make no sense to me and frankly, I do not like them.
However, the content, visuals, etc. speak to me and are amazing ... the name makes no difference to me!
Excellent advice!

How about "Sew Darcy" or "Sew What?" Lol...

I agree it has to have your name somewhere in it. Once I paid big bucks for an ad for my rug business from a very well known photographer. It was a picture of a teddy bear in a rocker with a rug in front of it. It said nothing about me or where I was. It could have been Teddy Bears in New York! not in Indiana. Be very descriptive with the name. People are more likely to remember a name or a place. They already know you are crafty and talented.
