I'm incredibly offended by this; how dare you forget the gypos; some of his best work.
>>53206826
Who is your demographic? Are you hoping that people from outside will like find this little store charming and thus shop in it?
The Gulag Of Fun
>>53206966
Probably more of a general catch all name that everyone can connect with, but if I see a great name I might go with it even if it's a it of an inside joke.
>>53206126
"Da Game Shop"
Perfect name for an establishment in either UK or US.

Pixels, Packs & Play. logo featuring a some non trademarked yet easily "that's the main character from an old retro game" ontop (but in the backround, ofcourse) of the left corner of the word "pixels", over the word "packs" so should there be three unopened card packs, make SURE to put emphasis of the edge of the pack and the sheen. in the right _lower_ corner _infront_ the word "play" so should you have dice.
>>53206388
Not op, but I like this one.
This is a good one.
>>53206826
> little bit of south.
>>53206194
>>53206489
>>53206657
>>53206837
For my money, these seem to be the best ones so far.
>>53206910
>>53207000
>>53207187
But seriously for my money, Chimchar is probably the best Pokemon.
>>53206388
That actually sounds pretty good.
>>53207080
those last two may be a little on the nose
>>53207106
i immediately thought of a gun store myself
>>53207041
Just go with a clearly recognizable name. If your town is named Midtown or some shit, just name it "Midtown Games and Cards" or something. It doesn't have to be clever, it just has to be easily recognizable so people know to fucking go there.
>>53207619
the problem with that is doing online sales, you don't want a local town name in there for your site name.
>>53207647
You didn't say you were selling online, thats a different beast altogether.
>>53207687
Doing both, with the store front coming first.
Crazy Hassan's
do it faggot.
>>53207724
Call it something really 80s faggy fantasy like Dreambay or Skylar's Castle.
Just call it <last name>'s Gaming Hobby Shop. The locals who are into games will call it by <last name>'s while also being descriptive enough for the non-nerds who don't care anyway.
Why not open a sex shop instead called The Beast Arises?
>>53207912
My last name would be total ass for that, in 30 years I can count the number of people who have pronounced it right on one hand.
>>53206126
Call it /tg/
What're they gunna do? sue you?
>>53206811
More like Isen'Card
>>53206126
Da Ork Dungeon
>>53206573
>>53206598
>>53206612
>>53206630
>>53206649
>>53206665
The Guild's Workshop, hobby & games.
>>53207000
YES
>>53206126
"I'm Too Clueless To Understand Retail is Dying and Hobby Stores Are Especially Fucked Store"
>>53208277
Well this is my third opening in 5 years, but if you say so.
The loaded Dice
What realm doth thy hail from mysterious ontropernior
The jokers deck, maybe a full hand of joker cards, also do you do fantasy books on the off chance you have the sacred works of Hugh cook my collection needs completion
>>53206909
>Leto's Library
Atreides Alcove isn't too bad either.
Fat Cock Assfuckerz Plastic Crack Store... and cards
>>53208823
It seems plastic crack covers the cards part but it's catchy and most likely not already taken
>>53207213
fuck yea anon, up top!
>>53206388
this one rolls off the tongue real well
>>53206388
I like this, but having something in front of it would be good. I know you already shot down the town name, but is there another name your town goes by that is also good for a website?
For example, I am from Idaho falls, ID. This is a shit name for an online business. But the town was originally Eagle Rock which is great for online marketing.
Maybe a local feature would work? Like the name of a forest nearby or something?
If your last names hard to pronounce I suggest a dictionary type brake Down of syllables under the name, it looks good when done well imo
>>53209233
That can actually fuck with search results since you would be fighting with whatever else is called that for search relevance. X + games will also yield anything in that area that sells any kind of games, so walmart, target, best buy, etc
>>53209233
Clerics, Cards, and Cartridges?
Cleric's Cards & Cartridges?
>>53209273
Ah, good point.
>>53206126
>selling retro video games
Why download an emulator for free when you can travel to a physical place and pay?
>>53209289
Would putting "cartridges" in the name make people think it sells guns and ammo?
>>53207726
Yeah. Crazy Hassan isn't too obvious, but he can also tack on whatever he wants to it. Emporium, game store, etc. And Crazy Hassan has the best deals. He can play it up all he wants and have that be the main draw.
Draw four
>>53209373
Cartridge bait belongs on /k/
No Furries
Might as well name it The Big Bang Theory to appeal to the fucking normalfag and poser aka FAKE nerds who are ruining the good name of gaming.
>>53211716
Who cares if their fake as long as they keep op in business.
>>53206126
Dragons lair
>>53206388
This please.
>>53209373
>Would putting "cartridges" in the name make people think it sells guns and ammo?
yes
I am amused at all the posters who believed the OP. Sad. Might as well call it 'Mom's Basement' since that is the only 4 walls he will ever see.
>>53206126
Closing Soon

The Upper Hand.
