    Default What's in a name?

    I am not really sure as to where I should be writing this thread. I suppose that if I am in the wrong section of the forum, this will simply be moved!

    So I am a self employed hand engraver. For many years, I worked exclusively for the London gun trade.
    2 years ago I was approached by different trades to engrave on other...media ( watches, putterheads,etc)
    I have always worked on commission but what I really would like to start doing now is work on my own creations.
    That is part of the reason why I have started making jewellery.
    First I decided to start with beaded jewellery, so last year I opened a small online shop and a FB page. People bought from there. I then decided to buy wire, then tools,...then started to think that I could maybe make my own metal jewellery and adorn it with my engraving! Living the dream, making a whole product from start to finish.
    I would very much like to start selling that metal jewellery.
    But now I am faced with what I believe is a major problem. i have absolutely no idea as to how I should call it! The problem I have is...my name.
    If you where to google it, the first thing that comes up is my gun engraving website. And there is where part of my problem lies. The " gun" bit. I fear that some people interested in my jewellery could be put off by it.
    Plus my name is very often mispelt. My first name seems to be liked by quite a few people so maybe I should use it in combination with the word jewellery? Or maybe I should use a name that has nothing to do with me?

    I have been pondering on this question for the last few weeks so I should come with an answer soon. Still I feel like I am not making any progress! Help!!
