A friend of mine is opening a business as a florist, and she’s asked me to help come up with some hip, funky names for it. Any ideas? Alexx ---

To be honest, I don’t like hip, funky names for flower shops. A nice, straight-forward business name is sooo much better. Really! Even other florists hate the hip, funky name trend, and, going on a personal testimonial here (my brother and his former co-workers, who obviously comprise a statistically valid sample size), would not place orders with them when looking through the FTD directory. ---

Flower Outlet. It’s subtle and generic-sounding enough that humorless people like **xcheopis** and her/his brother won’t get it. 🙂 ---

“Sherwood Florist” was the name of the flower shop run by the Green Arrow’s girlfriend. Does that make it unuseable? ---

A bit VVC, since I was actualy for no reason at all thinking of this yesterday… “Bl_ss_m” (make the 'o’s into flowers) Or pick another flower-related term (for my sense of humor, I’d call a flower shop with the title ‘Bl\*\*min’ Fl\*wers’ just because I see it as a chore!). ---

The flower shop around the corner from me is called Avant Gardens. I always thought that was a cool name. ---
