My Friends, I Need Your Help! Name My New Business!

[Dreadbelly]

It's official.

Things are moving along all to well. Today, the line of credit for my business was aproved and I have a small sum of credit. I paid for much needed supplies, more tools, some wire, and a couple of books.

Some time around October, I will begin some of my training for jewelry smithing and metal work.

What I need is a name for my venture, once I get it up and running. Well, it's already up and running.

Please, somebody, help me out, or else it might wind up being Dreadbelly's Fine Metals.

Kilted Jewlers Inc.???????

I have some nifty ideas for kilt pins. But I am going to need some special equipment for that. That will come much later, when I can afford to buy that equipment.

I still can't believe things are coming along the way they are. It's like... It's almost like it was meant to be.

What was the name on the other thread.
Crow on the corn.
Works for both cultures.

Some of these are good ideas; some are just for fun. I'm brainstorming and just putting it all down as it comes to me.


Misty Mountain Jewellry
Dwarf Lord Jewellry
Dwarvish Mettle
Douglas Mettle
Hammered Mettle (My favourite)


Flatulancelot Jewellry
Wrecked 'em! Nearly Kilt 'em!
Son of Spartacus Jewellry (from clues in another thread)

Dreadbelly Metalsmiths?

need more info on what you will be making and/or the area that you live in to put the name in context.

I plan to do basic wire wrapping, silver knotwork, rings, bracelets, torcs! and other various metal bits. I do plan to specialise in silver, but will do some copper, bronze, and gold work. I have some novel ideas for kilt pins, using braided knotted wire designs done on a jig. No idea if it will work, but the idea keeps tumbling around my head. Also have some idea for broaches and cloak clasps, but I doubt there is a market for those. That said, a nice broach to clip a fly plaid would be awful nice. Wrapped wire around simi-precious gemstones and pretty bits of rock or amber are simple but elegant, as well as being true to Celtic roots.

I have a couple of ideas. Like, Sidhe Silverworks. But I don't know if that is really a good name for a business. Seems... Fringe.

I plan to try and get a small amount of business through ebay, but I really don't like the idea of hooking paypal up to my bank funds. I have some local stores that are interested. What I would like, when this is actually up and running and I have some experience under my belt to start making quality goods, is an established kilt vendor to sell some of my broaches, kilt pins, and torcs. But that will be a long time from now. For now, I am just taking baby steps with an eye on the future of what might be.

I wouldn't name a business after the Sidhe but I'm superstitious that way and would worry about them coming for their due.

I like Hammered Mettle the best so far.

I have no fear of some Pookah coming and giving me a wild ride in to Sidhe exile. The Sidhe know their own, and I am sure there would be room at their table for me. :grin:

If you've no objection to a name in Dwarvish, I'll check in the appendicies of Lord of the Rings and see if I can come up with something.
