I need Help Deciding on a Name

Hey there, I need help from you guys, I am starting up a business building log furniture, but I need a name, and a logo for the business. The hardest part is coming up with a name, as a logo I can get a professional to draw me up something. For the name I want to have in there that it is a log furniture company, but the rest is subject to change, I was thinking mabye Smitties Cottage Log Furniture Co., something simple, but I want something that people will remember, such as Chop n' Peel Log Furniture Ltd., I dont know, I was wondering if you guys could help me out, a little about me, my name is Jared Smits, I am sort of a hillbilly, I am of Dutch background, I dress like a lumberjack, etc. etc. If any of these things are of any help in picking out a name, I need to come up with one ASAP because the business plan deadline for the government grant is only a few weeks away. Thanks you guys. Please shoot me some suggestions.

-Jared

I just went through the same task of throwing around names for weeks. (Sandblasting Company, ended up with Blast Masters, Inc.) I would suggest checking the Internet, there are about a hundred websites offering Incorporation Help (I would suggest a local Lawyer though). Anyway, these sites have alot of cool tips on how to name your business and be happy with your choice. It also has the "Don'ts", like not naming your child Albert Stuart when your last name is is Snyder, (ending up with the initials A.S.S) I will try to find the link to the one that was the most helpful to me. I would also suggest typing your possible business names into Google, this will help you shoot them down when you find out someone in your state is already trading as that me.
When I was a kid my Dad ran his own Hot Tub company "Darrels Barrels & Son's Inc."
Be creative. I had to keep telling myself (and my wife) " by looking at the S&P 500 you can't even tell what the heck most of these companys are doing by their names. (Enron,Comcast, etc.) The real importance is in the work itself, not some fancy name.
