    What does your company do?

    Just by the name, I won't be able to say in which industry that are you in.

    Really it will be group of companies which will provide a lot of services and sell a lot of goods. Logistics and transportation, seo&web design, Internet projects, real estate, whole sale, etc... Like Virgin group of companies.

    Since it is a group of companies, then my opinion is to have a slogan too for your company.

    Sounds ambitious... That is to say, it sounds like the sort of operation that would require a lot of capital to fund and get started... If I am correct, and if you're dead serious about your business idea, you'd probably be best advised to hire a consulting firm that specializes in corporate naming. (And there are several.)

    If you're doing this as a one-man/home office project, then it doesn't really matter as much... Just go with your gut, get the .com, and make sure that the business name isn't registered to someone else.

    You are right NO DOUBT! But how do you like this name? Is it OK for you? Good associations?

    There are not a lot of money but there is a hard will. And I need your indipendent opinion about this name. Do you like it?

    I don't love the name. It doesn't call up anything for me in terms of associations or emotion. "Hard" isn't a term that brings with it a slew of positive associations.

    It's not a name I'd remember you need something more catchy.

    Why not : StrongWill

    hard -suggests striffe and effort and combined with Will - says something like..."I am crawling to making it happen"

    What ever business you are doing ...The name does not sound like confidence.

    Sounds good, but I think it is not the correct name for company providing these services.

    How about 'Willhard Worldwide Logistics and Companies' since you would like to use Willhard for instance although I'm still curious where did you get that name? Is that a combination of prefixes, etc.?

    I bet using the worldwide scheme would really make that Willhard catchy enough. :)
