I'm helping a friend put together an idea for an online clothing store. I won't go into a lot of details right now. But for the purpose of this thread, I need help coming up with a name for it. It will be stocked with upscale, hip, trendy, quality merchandise. Initially, it will carry only women's wear. But there's a possibility of expansion to other markets in the future as well.

- What is the cutest, most clever name you've ever seen for a clothing boutique? (Guys, you may need to recruit your wife to help out here a bit, if you wouldn't mind!)
- What are some ideas of words that connote style, luxury, etc.
- Does a website name have to describe its content for you to remember it? (e.g. Zappos.com vs. Shoes.com)

Any idea is welcome. This is just an Open Brainstorming session. No ideas are lame (except some of mine, which is why I'm coming to you for help!!)

Thanks in advance.

You could do "Haute and Heavy" for fashionable plus-sized clothing. ;)

Yves, I like "Haute and Heavy" but I don't know if plus sized women like to be referred to as heavy?

I humbly submit that if you use a name that is hard to spell, it will be easily forgotten. I would suggest using a word picture to help tie it into people's memory. Something like Tiffany's Closet might work. That name sounds elegant, like the name of a friend, and utilizes the fact that women love swapping clothes. Just my thoughts.

Ok so who wants to go ask 100 plus sized women if they like to be called heavy?

Anyone know a good source for Kevlar????
