(Still) Stuck on a business name.
Any of you clever PR/Press/Marketing and business people help me?
Business: original production of web video for syndication. Also episodic shows and reports tailor made for brands and e-tailers. This is factual content, short and long form, not drama.
shortlist:
Milkk
Deo Media
Feed Media
Director Media
Mouse tv
Videorizer
I own relevant domains.
Does any one jump out?
thanks

This is what the names suggest to me:
Milkk: anything misspelt is dodgy - people will look for you by typing in milk.com. Moreover, I can't help thinking about the recent film Milk, about a gay activist.
Mouse tv sounds like a children's cartoon channel. Mice are pathetic little creatures which squeak. Think of MGM and how they had a lion roaring as their symbol - a symbol of strength and power. What values do you want your company associated with?
Videorizer: sorry, but can't help thinking of deodorizer, and Deo reminds me of deodorant too. It's the only ordinary word in English (apart from derivatives eg deodorize) which begins DEO. Catholics might think of God (Deo gratias, Deo volente). There's the spelling issue too; if your customers are British, many will type videoriser with an s.
Director Media: if you tell people your name, without them seeing it written down, they might think you are saying Direct-a-media or Direct-e-media. The -or- syllable will be swallowed. It's not a common phrase in English (unlike Media Director, about whose spelling no-one would have problems).
I think Feed Media is best, as the word feed is related to your field.

I like Feed Media too, it just sounds good.
Sorry, but I think Milkk and Videorizer sound a bit dumb :).

Hi Jules
I would go with Feed Media too.. it sounds the best and gives an idea of what the business is.

I like mouse TV for the link with a computer mouse

thanks all
surprised milkk has no votes yet ( could use tagline: 100% pure web video) ..thought it was quite trendy, meaning a flow of nourishment!
There is precedent like the digital company called glue or chocolate pr etc

It's quite hard to suggest names without knowing exactly what the product is about
another vote for Feed Media here, flows nicely :)

@websitecopy
There is no single subject or genre to the videos .. it's a production company covering various topics..one day could be fashion, one day interview with a gadget inventor
