Need a name,

For a business.

Quick story: My brother in law and I were shooting the breeze about our college days when the subject turned to beer pong. Half jokingly we said that we should start building custom painted beer pong tables to sell to local frats and sororities, sports teams, etc.

One thing led to another and I mentioned the idea to a friend of mine who is in a newly formed sorority at SUNY Oneonta. She mentioned it to her organization, and they actually put in order, submitted a design, and are willing to generate some publicity for us out there among the greek organizations in exchange for a price deal which we happily arranged.

We're literally starting from scratch, and this is a pretty good way to do it because there's very little overhead. We've gotten advice from my sister who started and runs a successful service business, and my brother in law himself is running a branch of the insurance company he works for. I don't have a head for that stuff, so I'll be handling the construction of the tables themselves.

But we're stuck on what the hell to call ourselves. Our last names are awful to try to get anything out of, Lonecke and Krill (Yes, like the shrimp)

So lets play pretend. Pretend you're in my shoes and have to come up with something clever and catchy, yet short enough to work as a web domain.

If you need more info, I'll supply what I can.

Thanks boys.

I swear that I will consult this forum during the naming process of child #2 when that happens.

Carpe Bibere

FE that's brilliant. OPBN, I like the simplicity behind yours too.
Waterproofing is a must we know that already, I'm toying with urethane or a plexiglass covering over the painted surface.

I've actually got plans for one made out of whiteboard.

google searches aren't limited by the web site title...

T&O Beer Pong Co. Limited.



I fail to see how anything else is even being considered.

Conversely, the Latin might seem 'Greek enough' to your average frat boy, and the name recognition factor is high.

I think Carpe Bibere Beer Pong Tables is a winner.

"Yo, is that a Carpe Bibere?!"

"YOU KNOW IT, BRO"

*Brofist while looking at the camera*

FE stormed in and took a golden turd all over this thread. His name wins so far.

I don't drink, so I don't know the rules or how to play beer pong, but I live next to Miami University. So I see these contraptions EVERYWHERE.
