Ideas for seller names

Out of curiosity, how did you all come up with your seller names? Was there any names you might have used in the past that might have had a negative impact on your sales? Deborah

hey another Texas seller. I am in northeast Texas. my original name was chosen for me by Amazon. I wasn't aware of how it worked so a variation of my e-mail was defaulted by Amazon. my e-mail user name is cchicken so that was my name here for several months. I have changed a few times since but I always use something that relates to cchicken so my name is similar to my e-mail. I did use reading_mime_ale for a short time but didn't like it. I am thinking of going back to one of my earlier names and going through all the names I have used all over again. I have no idea whether my name has had any impact on my sales. I mostly choose a name that pleases me.

A strange individual, this Captain Clownfish. Probably one of the most remarkable of living men. A genius, a mental marvel a giant of fabulous physical strength. He was literally a product of science himself, for he had been trained from birth for one single purpose in life- the fantastic career which he now followed. Every trick of science had been utilized in his training. In no sense had he led a life that might be regarded as normal. Two hours of each day since childhood had been devoted to a routine of intense exercises calculated to develop not only muscles, but physical senses and mental sharpness. All of his early life had been devoted to study under masters of trades, sciences, professions, until he possessed a knowledge that was, to the ordinary man, uncanny. The result of this studied upbringing was an individual who was a remarkable combination of scientific genius and physical capacity. Stranger than even the man himself was the career to which his life was dedicated- the business of helping others out of trouble, of aiding the oppressed, of dealing with those evildoers who seemed beyond the touch of the law. For all of which Captain Clownfish made it an unbending rule to accept no payment in money, under any circumstances. Long ago, Captain Clownfish had assembled five men as his assistants, five men who were world-famed specialists in their respective lines. A desire for excitement and adventure, and a profound admiration for the astounding bronze man who was their chief, held the little group together. Some men crave money, others works of art, and some go in for society - these five specialized in trouble. There was plenty of that around the Capt'n; his path was always that of peril, danger and thrilling adventure.

I'm from central Texas myself. My seller name is the meaning of my daughter's name. I wish to use a olive wreath as my logo because my son's name is greek and it means crown. I don't know if the name will have an impact on my sales since I just adopted the name yesterday. Before then I was using my email name. Deborah

That's classified. Clearances can be granted from the Clownfish Institute for Biomedical Engineering and Strategic Information, if presented to Penny at the front desk, in triplicate, with blood sample, retinal scan, and a legitimate need to know.

If you know the story of the little red hen, you know she planted the grain, watered it, harvested it, took it to the mill, and baked the resulting bread with the help of only her chicks. That's how I feel after being married to a lazy, lazy man. Maybe once my divorce is final I'll change my name. But, then again, I already have a logo and address labels and all that under the name littleredhen, so I might stick with it. I do worry, though, that people think I only sell children's books. I'd like to change my name to something desert-ish since I live in Arizona. Maybe Sonora Books or Black Canyon Books. I don't know...

Well the heck with this thread, I want to hear the rest of the story about Captain Clownfish! :) earthmom - that's just me. I was given this name as an insult, a lady acquaintance was trying to embarass me in front of other people and asked if I was some kind of (insert chuckle) EARTHMOM or something. They all laughed, I thought what a great name! Four children, three birthed at home, all homeschooled, raised chickens and goats and baked bread and made cheese and sewed their clothes for years and lived on 40 acres off grid. Now I'm back in town and the kids are bigger but I've been earthmom for 25 years, doesn't seem like it's time to stop. :> earthmom

Hi Noble, a texas seller here also. I was just bored one day and took a "flight of fancy" with a book that took me to another place and I thought, that would be a great name. . .

Hi Hen, I am also in Arizona...Phoenix to be exact....those names sound great to me....go for it girl...and I wish you nothing but happiness in your new single life. As for my name it is a combination of my real name (Cindy)...but, the Niece and Nephew started call me CeCe...so that stuck with my whole family....the 2nd half of my name is because I am 100% dyslexic and I mix of phrases and order of words..for instance: Metropolitan Ice Cream Monistary Style, etc. So my hubby started to call my phrases Cindy-Talk....then I changed it to CeCeTalk for my web ID's. CeCe
