Branding (logos) is a different animal to coming up with a name and takes a different creative juice.

If you are really in Glasgow are you looking for this venture to be UK based or global (internet)?

If it's primarily for the UK, and assuming you're Canadian, you might want to come up with a name which ties in to Canada. Something like Chinook Design perhaps.

Alternately you could come up with a name which relates to your industry through using the name of a tool or an industry term. Best example I can think of is Critical Mass. It's a great name which relates to what they try and do for businesses through their web design.

Just brainstorm as many names as you can think of, have your partner do the same, and then go through them together and build on or off the ones which really catch you. You could come up with a list of I dunno...50-100 say, and pass these by people you know or people who you want opinions from. (You might want to be selective on posting the list on CP, you seem to have gotten a couple useful suggestions and a bunch not so much.)

Your next hurdle is to try and get a site which fits the name. Most of the normal dot coms are taken which might influence which name you end up with.
