I need a name that suites a safe reliable real estate company.
Uh... Sutter Real Estate? Can't get more safe and reliable than a Sutter. No, wait! Saturn Real Estate! Nothing like capitalizing off another company's hard-earned image.


How about naming it after a tree: they're safe and reliable. Unless you're standing under one in a lightning storm. Maple, Oak... not Ash, though.

I say no to Titanium. Way too many things are named after titanium.

Ironically, the firm's staff later received phone calls telling them they had a nerve naming their company after Adams's character.

Hotblack Desiato. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Character was orginally named after a real esate agency, so that seems pretty appropriate.

Quote is from wikipedia.

Oh, what am I gonna call my Internet company? All the good names are taken. Oh wait, I've got it! Flancrest Enterprises! (looks in a book) D'oh!

MARGE
What exactly is it your company does again?

HOMER
This industry moves so fast it's really hard to tell. That's why I need a name that's cutting-edge, like CutCo, EdgeCom, InterSlice... come on, Marge, you're good at these! Help me out!

MARGE
How about... CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet?

HOMER
Fine, it's not important... What really matters is my title. I think I'll make myself... vice president. (excitedly) No, wait! Junior vice president!

Reality shows are popular these days. How about Reality Realty.
On that theme, and to appeal to the youth oriented market: Keepin' it Real Realty. Or Real Deal Reality.

Failing that, Berkshire Realty sounds good, although you may want to see if Mr Warren Buffet has to say something about that.

I thought of Refined Realty. It implies you know what you're doing but are always looking to improve, also it has a subtle class thing "he's a refined young man" plus it has links to the oil and gas industry which lets face it if you can attract them you've made it.
