Essential Executive
Admin Alchemy
(making your extra work disappear)
Virtually Versatile Assitance
Virtual Virtuoso
Virtually Fiona

last minute add - Cany Online Services (Cany is a mix of my kids names) or I could spell it Canny as in able/cunning/foxy/intelligent


see...help!!!

Hi Fiona!
The first one is a school for VAs, so that won't work at all. I personally like Virtually Fiona. It keeps it personal. My strongest recommendation is to look and see what website names are available for the ones you have listed. It would be horrible to pick a name, find out it's already someone's website, and then have to start the process all over again. you can check for domain availability at GoDaddy or Register. For instance, just for the heck of it, I just checked on www.fionasvirtualassistance and it is available.

Fiona,

This was one of the hardest parts for me. I know my significant other thought I had gone MAD. LOL I would go around the house saying what about, or this, or this. I finally took a couple of days break from the name game.

Then on the third day I sat down and made a list of things that I like, make me who I am and went from there. I picked up the dictionary and began looking at the A words and it just hit me...

I agree with the post from Serita too. Make sure it's available in your area and that the domain is available too. My post probably did not help much with your dilemma. But my point was it will come with a little time. It will be one of those AHA! moments when you least expect it.

Best of luck and keep us updated!
Amy

Fiona,

I like Summit Virtual Assistance - helping your business reach the top.
This has a great ring to it, and I love the tag line.

I checked GoDaddy and summitvirtual.com is available.

Also available is summitva.org or summitva.net, someone has summitva.com. (As of this morning there is no actual website associated with summitva.com.) Registrant info for summitva.com is as follows.

Registrant:
Digital Access Control

Record expires on 12-Apr-2011.
Record created on 11-Apr-1997.
Database last updated on 24-Mar-2010 13:31:31 EDT.

Good luck with the name.

Julie

Okay, so far I have narrowed my extensive list to the following (in no particular order):

Canny Online Services
Summit Virtual Assistance - helping your business reach the top
Apex Online Services
Peak Office Performance
Beacon Online - the light at the end of the tunnel....or something like that
Candle Office Solutions
On-Time Online Services - keeping your business running smoothly....or something like that
Avalon Virtual Office
Azure Virtual Assistant
Avens Online Services - the rose amongst the thorns (NB: Avens as a rose genus...logo would be a rose)

The 'Online Services', Virtual Assistant' etc parts of each name are interchangeable.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Fiona

Fiona,

I like Beacon from the list.

I also like your first name and I thought it was unique enough to use. Not trying to throw a wrench in the selection but I saw that its use was part of your first list.

But of the list you offer, I like the Beacon and and it has many possibilities.

Yeah, Canny is a little special as it is a mix of both my kids names. (Calum and Nyah) It also has the double meaning of being canny (ie intelligent, foxy....)
