I have a client who is considering changing the name of his business to sound more professional. The name he currently using is Gibson landscaping and lawn maintenance. The name He wants to change it to is Golden Isles Landscaping and Lawn manicures. At the same time though he also said or lawn pedicures since you walk on a lawn. Hearing lawn pedicures is kinda funny and makes you wanna laugh. If you saw a sign for this company would you think they were not professional because the name made you laugh or would you be more likely to remember the name and call them when you might need their services?

It's good to have a catchy name and having a little humor is not a bad idea at all 🙂

Re: Name change?

1. Go to the State Government Press in the Capital City of your state.

2.
Ask them for the form for change of name and obtain it.

3.
Fill up the form and submit it (preferably then and there).

4.
Pay the requisite Fees in cash. (Rs. 120/- in Maharashtra for routine (6-8 weeks for publication) and Rs. 620/- for urgent (2-3 weeks)).

5.

The Press would publish the details of the change of your name (or father's name, or surname as be your case) and post you two copies of the Government Gazette or ask you to collect the same. The press would also let you know when they would publish the same.

6.

Thereafter wherever you wish to submit your change of Name / Father's Name / Surname Proof, you can submit true copies of the relevant pages of the Gazette.

Nothing wrong with a catchy name, it may help, but when you are dealing with larger clients like that I would stick just the name he has now. I don't see anything wrong with it. The next concern would be how long has he been in business? Is he going to keep the new name and brand it? Will it hurt him at all to change the name? Those are things I would make sure he understands before taking on a new name.

Re: Name change?

I think the original name sounds better then "Golden Isles Landscaping and Lawn manicures". This name is too look, it has 6 letters, it is too much.

Cheers!
