[jamil27]

Hi, Im in the process of starting an e-commerce business which will be supplying plus size clothing for men. I need help with a name for the brand/webiste Anyone got any ideas??? plz help!

 

[Christine Hough]

Man of stature.

 

[jamil27]

thanks keep em coming

 

[Christine Hough]

Presence

Any man's name ... but I think 'Hagrid' would run into copyright problems! : )

Is it casual (cool) or dressy (gents) or a bit of everything?

William Bradley was a local giant round here, and a very liked person by all accounts but that would only work if you were based in E Yorks.

 

[jamil27]

it will be casual and smart so a bit of everything, and I want the name to be descriptive my female brand will be "fuller figure".

Salad Dodger
Full of Pies
Sofa Loafer
Beer bellies and builder's crack

Maybe perhaps a little too direct.

 

[Xelp]

Generous Gents

Create your own character/branding such as Hefty Hugh, Fat Freddie, Louie Large or similar.

Just a little, but lol

Seriously, get a name that no-one's got, doesn't need to mean anything. Nice if you can get the .co.uk and .com (for international). Jacamo is an example in your space.

 

[jamil27]

thanks for the input keep em comin people lol. the following have also been suggested :

Big Fellas/ Big Fellaz

thoughts plz??

 

[ADW]

Fat'n'Lanky

 

[footprint]

Wide Load

 

[nobrainer]

Don't be too quick to make the brand name so OBVIOUSLY targeted at larger males. The market is likely to be divided into those who enjoy their size, and those who are conscious about it. So there's a danger you might instantly turn-off a large segment of the market.

 

[jamil27]

mens plus/plus mens ??

 

[Xelp]

I like Big Fellaz.... Hang on... that sounded weird...

 

[jamil27]

so do u think the name big fellaz is good then? lol

 

[Xelp]

Yes that's what I meant.

 

[Funny Business Cartoons]

XLence. (Just a thought)

 

[jamil27]

XLENCE I like that ! nice one mate

 

[Xelp]

I think XLence is the best by far. As well as the obvious XL connotation. It also puts an idea of excellent customer service in customers mind. Of course you will have to honour that

 

[footprint]

X Man Direct

or

X Men Direct

All domains are also available...

 

[jamil27]

i like that too but the domains are all taken!!!! arrgghh

 

[Xelp]

All taken regarding xlence?

Yep, just checked myself, however xl-ence.com is available.

 

[Funny Business Cartoons]

Good potential for a logo with a paint brush effect of the X.

 

[jamil27]

yep i just though that my self xl-lence.com is ok i think

 

[jamil27]

xl-ence even!!!

 

[Xelp]

erm... Funny Business Cartoons... Has my logo been seeping into your subconscious or are you being sarcastic? haha

It's been seeping mate lol.

some of these have made me laugh, but agree with one post, some may love it, some hate it, although every bigger man I know doesn't give a **** about there size, unfortunately caring is definitively a woman's prerogative - and 9 times out of 10 there's no need. Moving on, I looked at some names, like tall and mighty, jacamo and then looked into womens; likes of marisota. Not funny names but brands you know etc.

It's quite a hard one, I had a word play on large man in other languages etc, in latin: [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif]Amplus Vir [/FONT]

Again are you wanting a fun brand or serious? I guess that boils down to just what clothes and prices of you offer.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif] Good luck

Ps I do like XL-lence mind

[jamil27]

i like the latin spin on that very nice,thanks

You're all being so clever and amazingly adult
All I could think was..........BIG BOY...........said with a lecherous old lady voice:redface:

 

[fisicx]

Only problem with xl-lence or xl-ence is that they have an academic or sporting feel rather than being associated with clothing.

You are going to be much better off with a memorable name that doesn't have any direct connection with size. Dunno what though, maybe: tsanix or fletcher or something random

 

[SusanP]

Brawny Brutes
Gargantua
Colossus
Heft
The Prodigious Son

or include one or more of following

Titan
Mega
Hulk
Hercules
Mammoth
Towering
Hefty
Hulking

Little John

He was so called because he was the big fella in Robin Hood's gang.

GatoGordo (Spanish for fat cat) or FAF - acronym, figure it out yourself (actually using stuff like this can be very viral and succesful when you think of FCUK)
