This is not the business name you're looking for...

It definitely has a Roman ring to it - but in a bad way - even though it is a real latin word, it sounds artificial. My first association was The Life of Brian. (Bigus Dickus, Naughtius Maximus ...)



I think Wayne did great with an animal name for his business. It is easily remembered and sets his business apart from any parts company with a generic part store name. It also allowed him to expand across marques without issue. If I were to pick a company name, I would also go with an animal, a plant, a fruit (!) etc. and add "financial" behind it.

I agree with 911Dave.

First thought in my mind was "Acceptuvus for the restovus"

All good Totally needed that feedback. As I read the name more and more I didn't like it. Although I believe we have settled on something!

I was on the floor. I sent that in an email to my friends and they were done.
