I recently started using Yahoo Answers as a way of getting more vistors to my main blogs. It uses “no follow” so it does not get you back links but will get you traffic. One person asked a question about what to name her new photography business. I think my answer may be interesting here:
Don’t have an answer for you other than think hard about it and read the book “Brand yourself” before settling on your name and brand.
They used to suggest names at the beginning of alphabet for Yellow Page placement. That’s no longer that important your domain is. Makes sure you get a dot com domain of whatever name you use before getting a DBA (doing business as) or other business entity.
I get mine (domains) from goddady but get yours from wherever (make sure they don’t charge you more than $15). You may want to start without a website but you do need the domain available. Also you may want to have a local domain as well as your main domain so suppose you do decide on XXXXYYYYphotography.com and live in Los Angeles also get XXXXYYYYlosangelesphotography.com.
I really think you should make sure you have your apropriate dot com domain first and if you can get your name as a dot com do so. It is worth the more or less ten dollars a year it may cost
