Baby Boutique Naming Contest

Well, I have finally decided to start a little at home business making baby items. Mainly because its just fun and I've been wanting too it for quite sometime. After giving them as gifts and after rave reviews I have decided its time to sell. There will be binkie holders, blankets, onesies, burp cloths and baby towels to start off. I am so excited. I am in the process of getting a website going, but in the mean time I will start off with a blog and maybe with an Etsy account.

But what about a name? In order to set up a website I need a name, but I am stuck and can't figure out what to call this little baby boutique. I need some ideas, so for fun I am going to do a CONTEST!!!

The Winner will receive $20 toward anything in the store. (I will be putting up pictures this week of some of the items that will be in the store.)

To enter:
1) leave a comment below with your name, email, and idea for the store name
2)You may enter as many times as you like, but you have to leave a different name for the store each time.
3)Post your comments below by midnight on February 1st
4)The winner with the best name(although may not be the official store name) and will be chosen and announced Monday morning on February 4th
5) Remember to leave your email or check back on Feb. 4th to see who has won.

Here are some of the names or words I like that you can use or be creative and come up with your own. I like anything using Ruby, Mommy, essentials, babies, baby, adorable, sweet, sugar, tiny, little, pretty, sleep, slumber, peace, dream, snuggle, and innocence. Basically anything to do with babies.

Be sure to all your family and friends and lets see what cute names we come up with. Good luck brainstorming.

I can't wait to see the baby items you are going to sell. I was thinkin bout "Bouncing Baby Boutique". might be a little long but I thought it was cute. I will keep brain storming. bubbahide24@hotmail.com

Michelle said...

I had a name and then I deleted it, so here we go again.

This is so hard! I had the hardest time coming up with Binga Bows & it seems like such a simple name.

Ok, here's my entry:
Bouncing Baby Boutique

Can't wait to see your items! We should put a link to each other's websites on our websites . . .

Michelle said...

Ok, that's just weird, there was no comment when I got on and then I posted this and someone put the same name!!! That's really weird . . . I'll have to come up with another name.

Stephanie said...

ok, what are the chances that michelle and that other person made the same name. I never would have thought of that name.

ok, so i love ruby's nick name. I did a little research and found out it's a flower so i'm thinking of something like Blooming Rue Boutique or Bloomer Rue Boutique. I think it sounds sweet like a little baby.

Stephanie said...

I also like the word Berry. So perhaps something along the lines of Berry Babies or Baby Berries.
oh so sweet.

I have never done a boutique before, but I think it will be worth it. I only have to pay $30 to be in it- and hopefully I will more than that :) Do you want me to send you the info? What is your e-mail?

Laura said...

How about something totally gay like "unicorns boutique"

Since it's a boutique for baby things, and you'll be offering a lot of slumber-related items, "Lullaby Boutique" would be perfect.

Unknown said...

Other possibilities:

"Peek-a-Boo Boutique"
"Pink & Blue Boutique"
