hey guys im trying to come up with a tricky name for my welding company, anybody have any suggestions ,let me hear em!

Well!
How about first you tell us a little bit about yourself and the type of welding you are going to be doing!
A good name is usually reflective of the business or the person who owns the business.

Ken here ya go
well we work out of a 20'x20' foot garage i have both a tig and stick welder with a mig on the way, drill press bench grinder , bench vise, 4x6 welding tables on caster wheels with locks so you can move it outside to use it when stick welding. welder is a lincoln electric precission tig 185 nascar editioin with beer holder on top, and also linc ac/dc 225 stick welder. stuff we have done, a couple of ornamental tables, slight mods to trailers or cars, piecework for larger shops, repair railings, and 5 years of experience at various welding companies as a welder fitter, from a sheet metal shop to structural shops, so we are trying to branch out on our own with a catchy name, we want to make business cards and get them out there, so even a logo would be good

How about FabWeld?

The fab could stand for fabrication or Fabulous!

well my biz name was kind of earned, not thiought up. I'm known as "Hillbilly" around my parts. We use to joke about "booty fab" work we'd see, you know the kind. No prep done before welding, shotty craftsmenship, well my friend nick named my shop "Hillbilly Fab" I added alittle to it, and it's became Hillbilly Fabworks. Maybe this will give you an idea.

Sticky-Tig weld and Fab

You break it we fix it,
We can't fix it....
we have a big hopper out back

Just kidding.
I was trying to do the same last year but wih this "FINE,FINE" economy we have right now it just didn't fly right just yet.... a few more years of workin for "THE MAN" I may have some more money to try and go broke again...????? wait that didn't sound right.I guess what I am saying is good luck and I hope you have a plan and not doing what I did the first time and go flying by the seat of my pants.....I will have my weld shop it will just be done with a plan this time....I know the skills are there I need to research what the demand is in this area..and play on that,but also how many other weld shops are around and what they specialize in and try and get a slice of pie that isn't already on someone elses plate.didn't mean to highjack your thread but if you don't have a name yet I am trying to get you thinking before you could possibly end up in bankruptcy...like I almost did it's a tough buisness. Just my $.02 and again good luck and hope it works out for you.

thanks for the suggestions guys,
of course im not going to jump right into this venture, i have been working at it slowly, gathering tools, ideas and contacts. the last thing i need is a bunch of payments over my head with no money coming in! anyhow this forum is a great place to get ideas and to get help on them.
