Please help me choose a name

And I thought naming a child was hard.

People who hear my Ebay name, “Lullaby Lake”, think babies. I don’t mind that, because I originally wanted to sell dolls and bears. Soft and sweet.

But, I would like to have a web page now that represents more. I liked the old “no label please”, because it was versatile. However, versatility isn’t my only concern.

In the bottom of my auctions I typed, “I am a collector, a designer, and a bargain hunter, keep checking in to see what I have this week.” That’s the image I want to portray on Ebay. I will sell anything that I find that I think people want. I don’t want them to be surprised to see books or clothing, although I don’t really want to sell books or clothing. I will keep the Lullaby Lake account for soft and sweet, but I want something else for everything else.

The following are words I like. I thought about combining two of them. I’ve seen it done lately, although I can’t for the life of me remember what they were. You know how Pottery Barn isn’t a barn, and they sell way more than pottery? I need a business name that sounds cool, but leaves the way open to sell more than dolls.

This is just a free flow of words that I could use. I can’t figure out how to combine them. Do you have any suggestions?

My grandmother’s name was Lorraine Spencer Stewart. I used to live on Lacey Dr. That’s what the names mean to me.

I’m a native Floridian, and don’t like the cold. My style will always be light and cool, although I will make scarves and mittens in the winter. I prefer natural fibers over synthetic. My style is cottage casual. I decorate with fabric and paint, but I love natural wood.

Names that are already taken:
Thimble Berries (a fabric line for quilting)

Did you know? Paisley is a town in Scotland. It makes me think of India.
Paisley is also the town that my grandmother’s lake was. It makes me think of her and the times at the lake. "Paisley Lake", really to me is my grandmother’s lake. When you “Google” it, you get the town in Fl, because it is in Lake County. I don’t think I want that.

I thought about "Paisley Lorraine", which really makes me think of my grandmother. But, it also sounds like a porn star.

“Paisley Feathers”- I can see that one working for me. What do you think?

“Spencer Paisley” – I could have had an ancestor from Paisley, named Spencer

“Paisley Cottage” is a resort in New Zealand, so I can’t do that.
“Paisley Princess” is already being used to describe a girlie hippie retro style.


Organdy is a thin, light, see through fabric used to make collars and baby clothes. It is very feminine. The word is fun, not over used, and makes me think of seamstresses from the 50’s.
The word also makes me think of an organ grinder, and that’s cool, because I like monkeys.

“Organdy Prairie” is not taken yet.

“Organdy & Denim” I like the juxtaposition.

“Spencer Organdy”

“Organdy Lorraine” - a friend said this one sounds like a quiche.

“Organdy petticoat”

“Organdy Parasol”

“Paisley & Organdy”

How about – “Foxgloves and Buttercups” – They’re flowers, but they sound like something totally different. I could get my sister to draw a fox wearing gloves, and drinking from a cup made of butter. - My kids HATE this one, but I have a friend that likes it.

Sincere Summer?
Linen Camelias?
Seahorses and Butterflies?
“Paisley Butterfly” – Taken, darn.

“Beverly” means one who dwells in the valley of the beaver. What if I called it Beaver Valley? Nope, taken

“Sincere Garden”?

“Casual Petticoat” juxtaposition again.

“Cotton Rose” is taken

I like the word sage – means a shade of green, and wise.

“Owl Sage” – No, too masculine.

“Paisley Frills”

I don’t want something like “Nimble Needle”, although I think it’s cool, because I want to sell antiques and collectibles too.
I like the word “found” or “find”, because I would like to “find” things to sell (other artists or yard sales). Maybe Discovery, although that sounds like kids.

“Palomino Feathers” – You know, like Horse Feathers, only blonde.

“Paisley Flounce”
