Business Name

[afrdzak]

Hey Everyone,



I'm in the process of opening a hookah lounge and making up a
fictitious business name is a little more difficult then I would have
thought.  So I'm going to conduct a small sample survey here to see
what you guys, as regular hookah smokers, think.


Background: The property that I am pursuing is in a shopping
center, a sort of off-beat, trendy area of the city.  Close to
downtown.  This area is a hot spot for good restaurants and a few
bars.  The majority of the homosexual population resides in this part
of the city.

In comparison to most Hookah Lounges in the are, my lounge is going to
be a mix between trendy/upscale, a little off-beat, and
tradition.  It's going to have a more homey, comfortable, and
quite atmosphere.  Our main product is going to be Hookah and
tea.  Small menu of snacks and specialty drinks.  No
alcoholic drinks planned in the near future.

When reading these names to yourself think about these questions:


1) If you saw a hookah/tea/coffee lounge with one of the following names, which one would intrigue or attract you the most?



2) Which one of the names stuck in your head most and why?



3) Which name sounds most attractice?



3) Do you have an idea for a name?



4) Any other comments?


Honesty is appreciate since I value your opinions. Thanks!

Oh, and don't worry about the meaning of the names yet... but if you really want to know, ask.

I wasn't particularly fond of any of those names.
I am, though, a fan of Arabic names.  It keeps the feel traditional.  "Al Jhenna" is on the right path.

Translations:

Shiraz: if not the most, one of
the most, famous city in Iran.  It should to be the capital of
Persepolis. It is now considered the birthplace of legendary Iranian
poets.  It houses some of the most beautiful gardens (the most
well known, Eram Garden) in the world.

Eram Garden: Eram means Paradise in Persian.  Located in Shiraz, is one of the biggest tourist attractions.

Mish Mish: apricot in Arabic.

Al Jhana: At Heaven

Jhana: Heaven

And we all know what Sheesha means.


I recently browsed through an entire list of Arabic and Iranian names
and selected a few.  I might create a new poll while keeping
Shiraz Garden from this poll.
