i need opinions....which is weird, because if you know me at all you know i have plenty and enough opinions to go around.

i'm having trouble settling down on a business name.  sara elizabeth photography was my first thought because, well...that's my name, and it also happens to be the name of my firstborn.  convenient!  also, i ruled out sara doud photography because, no offense directed toward my dear husband, but doud isn't exactly as pretty as elizabeth right?

but now i'm rethinking it.  i feel like sara doud is memorable, unique and easy to say.  and doud has those strong consonant sounds...like coke or pepsi or nike or target.  sara elizabeth is mushy......yet beautiful, if i do say so myself (good job mom).

then there's the option of not using my name at all, which i'd actually prefer IF i could come up with something NOT CHEESY, which has proven thus far impossible.

will anybody weigh-in on this?  please?  could i get a few opinions from the peanut gallery?  i really do care what you think, if only this once:)

    Now I find out that you didn't really care what I thought! I'll give you my opinion anyway. Sara Elizabeth is a beautiful name, but I think Sara Doud is better for a business name. It is stronger and more unusual so hopefully people will remember it.

    I think Sara Doud! Even though I'm partial to the name Sara Elizabeth because it is my mothers name! But as far as a brand name, a memorable one, Sara Doud sounds stronger and more unique. Try searching google for both names and see which one finds you easier.

    I think both...which means you absolutely can't go wrong...except if you don't get the mini...I digress...

    Bottomline I feel your pain but also this is a good problem to have you have a good name no matter which way you cut it...

    One more thought Sara Elizabeth is sweet and Sara Doud is confident...

    I love the name Doud. I would go with Dowdy Photography.

    PS Dowdy Photography was a joke, but my vote for Sara Doud was not a joke.

    I liked saraelizabeth Photography. It looks good as a watermark. That's always a good sign, no pun intended.

    I think Sara Elizabeth is beautiful and in my opinion I would be more inclined to look into your company for personal photos because that name sounds more approachable and feminine. I like things that sound girly :)
