Help with picking a company name

    I am in the process of setting up a new transportation company in New York that will be focused on transporting passengers (mostly tourists) To and From local airports.

    The competition is very stiff as you can imagine.

    I am looking for a very catchy name that will stick with my clients and I'd like to pair it up with a matching .com domain name.

    Here are names of my competition:
    - Carmel Limo
    - Dial7
    - Go Airlink Shuttle
    - SuperShuttle
    - Golden Touch
    - GroundLink
    - etc.

    I would like for the name to capture my geo location NY, NewYork, Metro, etc. as well as the type of service we provide: airlink, carlink, cls (car, limo, shuttle) service.

    I was thinking about going with carlinknyc however I think anything *link may be a bit too cliche.

    Any help, suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.

    LushShuttle

    Lush = Luxury ( A general British term )

    I find the name is simple, east to remember and very attractive.

    Hi,

    Looks like you haven't done what is absolutely essential ... keyword research? In today's modern society, you've got to consider what's been asked for in Google. Have you done any?

    Here a video I did that will help you with what to do...but essentially, pick something that is being searched for with medium or low competition...Google keyword tool will help you...

    Google Keywords made easy...

    Also, use it as the domain name for your url to get SEO benefits :D

    Llwyddiant!

    Joe

    Using Link in the name may lead to confusion since a competitor is already named GroundLink

    Keep it simple. Even go for words that don't make sense. Yahoo and Google tried it out and it worked out ok for them ;)

    How about something simple like - NY Shuttle? Or Metro Shuttle? Or something based on the color of your taxis, eg: Yellow Cab.

    I'd go with Dial7. There's something about it that is just catchy. Just my $0.02.
