Someone with water on the kitchen floor will call the first plumber whose name they remember or can find. A plain name that is easy to say does more than a clever one.
Four patterns
These patterns are common, and the exact name is probably taken somewhere nearby. Use them as direction, not a list to copy.
The phone test
Say the name to a friend on the phone and ask them to type it. If they get it wrong, change it. Customers will search for you the same way.
Make room to grow
A town name limits you if you expand. A name that says "Drain" only may limit you if you add repiping. Choose a name that fits where you want to be in five years.
Check availability
Things to avoid
After you choose
