Removed #5 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I like Eligius - there has to be a way to play that with elegant ... some mixing of letters but I'm drawing a blank .... Try something like "Elegance by Eloi" (eligius is the "latinization" of the French Eloi) - that's something that will impress the cognoscenti and sounds, well, elegant.

I like the sound of that, I speak a bit of French and have spent a large amount of time in france, I have been trying to remember French words that I could use, but haven't spoken in so long ive lost most of it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just done some reading about this, Eligius was born 6 miles north of Limoges, I went on holiday every year, and also went to school in the Limousin Area. I have to have this name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 well done some research, asked a group of people about the name Eloi, and although, once everyone knew what it meant, they liked it, a couple didn't remember the name, or didn't associate it to what I would be doing and most couldn't pronounce it correctly, which resulted in wrong spelling of the name. that will obviously cause problems when looking for the website... Cant believe how hard this is....thanks for the help so far guys....Just thought I would keep you all updated xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mia-Blue Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Try and think of a first letter....when my friend named her hair salon she was told to do that, her advice was also to pick a letter which is less commonly used. She picked V and then went with Vanilla. Its certainly not a name you forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 spelling is always a problem I do agree though when you say "Eloi", it can pop up in so many different ways in people's heads. For example in my head I'd definitely spell it "elloy" I like the sound of "Dius Gemma" except I don't know how to pronounce "dius"... in my Indonesian tongue it reads as "dee-youse" Now I know it's very important for people to know what's the meaning behind your company's name, but I also heard that as long as people can pronounce, spell and remember it easily then it's a good name. For example, how many people know that "Samsung" actually means "three diamonds" in Cantonese? I don't believe half of you guys knows that yet, it's a very successful brand. In case you'd like to follow Samsung's steps and experiment with "unpopular" foreign languages, here are some words from my language... which happens to be one of the easiest language on Planet Earth Intan (diamond) Perak (silver) Ratna (pearl, or just gems in general) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
