Default Finally!!...a name
Whew!!! I finally came up with a name for my business. I must be on a roll because I also registered my domain, got hosted, got my business license, and joined IEAA. Yes, all in one day! I am tired!

But it does feel good. I was going to include my tag line in my signature, but the system here would not allow me too, said I had too many lines.

Anyhoo, here is my tag line:

"Knowing that your business is securely managed - "Virtually"

I hope those quotation marks are correct!

Will post my web site in the proper thread when I complete it.

This is so much fun!

Hi Wanda You can always put your tagline on the same physical line as your company name (in your signature) assuming the character count doesn't go over the min. And that little sun, as cute as he is, takes up at least one full line all by himself...but that's not what you're writing about so let me get to the point!

Congrats on so much progress, I know you must be feeling just great right now! What a wonderful place to be!!

I am not positively sure (hopefully one of our master editors will jump in on this one) but I think you want your quotations to be like this:

"Knowing that your business is securely managed - 'Virtually'"

rather than "Knowing that your business is securely managed - "Virtually"

Either way, great job!

Thank you Tess.

I tried to do as you suggested on my signature, (and removed the sunshine)and it still told me I could only have three lines and would not let it save, I must be doing something wrong or else just too tired to think straight...lol. I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks so much for your help and support!

Hi Wanda,

I like your chosen business name! I am going to go out on a limb here and ask..does the your middle initial stand for Lea?

In any case, it is very cool

I appreciate your comments!

And yes, my middle name is Lea. I had thought about spelling it out, but chose to just put the initial. I actually like using that for my name, but too many people know me as Wanda at this stage.

Well, then, I REALLY like your chosen name. Very unique, as it is based off of your name. My business name is D. Victoria Virt(Victoria is my middle name). I sign everything now Darlene Victoria, but many still just call me Darlene.

Very clever use of your name Wanda..

I love it! Isn't it like a lightbulb goes off at one point and you have to get everything done? In my case before I forget! It's a great name, something people are definitely going to remember!

Regarding using your middle name, there's no reason why you can't use that for business. In the personal world, I go by Mandy but I always use Amanda for business because of the actress. So, if you want to use Lea, I say go for it!

BTW - congrats!
