Mehndi / henna business name ideas?! un-watch

Anonymous #1 Report 56 minutes ago
I wanted to start a small part time henna business and currently can't think of ANY suitable names that make sense...

I was wondering if anyone had any suitable and eye catching name ideas or examples...?

I want the name 'idea' to either be:
- BEFORE the word Henna ('Idea' Henna)
- AFTER the word Henna (Henna 'Idea')
- BEFORE the word Mehndi ('Idea' Mehndi)
- AFTER the word Mehndi (Mehndi 'Idea')

Some examples that I have for reference are:
- Mehndi Magic (not me...)
- Heavenly Henna (already used)
-Henna Queen (not unique)
Mehndi queen (not unique)

Any ideas!???

How should I come about creating a name?

Thanks

Mehndi queen
These are all way to generic... I want something unique but have no starting points...

Any ideas!???

you could use something quirky about you or something that you have and include it in your henna for example if you have ginger hair you could use Ginger Henna or Gingerbread Henna (acc those names are horrible idk)

Red Henna
I feel like using henna or mehndi in the name is quite boring in itself

That's what I am thinking ... but at the same time I want people to know I'm doing Henna. I do have other ideas if I don't use the word Henna...
I will do some research !
Thanks

Do you specifically want the name in English, or can I start thinking of some Tamil puns?

So something like mehndivine?

And I think you're missing out by not using a Tamil/Hindi/Gujarati/Bengali name (not sure what your home language is), unless the SA population round you is so small you're going to have to rely on white girls to be most of your customers.

I likes ideas of names along the lines of /or structured like:

'Blissfully divine'
'Blissfully Angelic'
'Heavenly Angelic'
'Heavenly exquisite'

Etc...

Thanks in advance!

Imo all names suggested have been cliche - the name doesn't have to resonate with the industry (e.g Apple - Tech company) but when you want it to, make sure it's done a witty way like 'Microsoft'.

So in this the case the category is Henna/Mehndi, and the wider industry is weddings/cosmetics.

Given the international cultural heritage, you may want to incorporate a native word, not necessarily relating to product and combine it with a more relatable common word.

This approach can bring more unique results. Examples are:

You said to pick something unique that didn't maybe include the actual name like Microsoft

Any suggestions?

Thanks

No I meant the actual name/meaning is not required there can be a more ambiguous definition - in this specialist Industry you might not get away with not mentioning the product unless it's in your slogan, logo or you've built a recognized brand

Also I wouldn't be bothered if some of the names are in use, im pretty sure half these Henna stalls aren't even registered companies!
