I don’t have a suggestion, but as a customer it’s really hard to find info about a company on the Net if: - [www.CompanyName.com](http://www.CompanyName.com) doesn’t belong to that company - Company name is made up of common words with standard spelling - Company name is a phrase which is already in common use - Company name contains words that can get caught by filters (remember Beaver College?) ---

**Command Prompt**? (ask and ye shall get it from us) **Code Righters Inc.**? (a crappy pun on writing code and righting code) **Fishing for Complements?** (complement = something added to complete or make perfect) or for an anal reference… C Colon. oh, and what **scr4** said. really. ---

Yep, I would probably have gone with kitchen sink if it had been available in any format as a URL. Some of these ideas are really fab, if I were starting a company with a very specific IT slant, I would be sorted 😃 Maybe I should just do a hostile takeover of the half-bee guys :evil, evil grin: ---
