Default Which Name?
Hello everyone! Lately I have been getting really serious about getting my business started and I have been working on getting everything ready. I am having some trouble deciding on a name I actually own 2 domains already so I am hoping to decided between these two. Please let me know which one you like better:

The Modern Assistant
www.themodernassistant.com

Sensible Virtual Assistance
www.sensibleva.com

Thanks for your help!

Hi Jocelyn,

I personally prefer "The Modern Assistant" - I think it has a different slant to things!
However, I have noticed that your name on here is sensibleva - yes, it's good for SEO to have everything you post on the same [i.e. forums, blogs] but, if you want to rebrand yourself then do!

I hope I've helped.
Rgds,

Good Morning, I too actually like the Mordern Assistant. It gives the idea that you are able to handle anything in the right here, right now. It implies that you are capable of handling anything in today's market. Hope this helps, but what do you like?

I'll bet you're too young to remember the movie "Thoroughly Modern Millie."

I like Modern Assistant, too!

I agree with you Julia. I like The Modern Assistant...however, for SEO purposes and consistency within your business' image keeping everything the same works. So, I would go with Sensible VA! So, think about changing things around to what works best for you.

I also like The Modern Assistant. It's catchy and won't blend in with everyone else's name.

Oh well, it's not uncommon for me to go against the grain. When I read your choices, I really liked the first, but was thrilled with the second. Like you smile, and then you grin really big! That's what Sensible Virtual Assistance www.sensibleva.com does for me.

I would want my VA to be sensible, bottom line. I think it's an inspired name. Very correct in terms of the current economy and what peeps are looking for in any agreement.

Thanks for all the feedback! I am leaning towards The Modern Assistant because I like it better, but I'm not sure since my user name here is already sensibleva for seo purpose and consistency its probably the best choice. All of my family likes The Modern Assistant I guess I will just keep thinking!

Well...if "you" are leaning towards The Modern Assistant then that's all that matters. The majority likes that name. Just because your name is Sensible VA here doesn't mean that is your entire SEO circle. There's a lot more SEO building that can and will be done. In my opinion, just fine tune the site and you will be ready to go.
