What's in a name?

Hi, everyone!

I'm in the middle of searching for an apartment (not much available out there right now!) and revamping my portfolio website to focus on getting clients rather than on being a student looking for a job.

Here's my question:

Right now my website is very simply "Sherry Sink Web Design."

As a "company" name, that feels very beige wall to me. Should I come up with a creative business name instead of using my own name? Something that I can turn into a fun logo (or at least something that doesn't have the seemingly negative word "sink" in it, LOL)?

What makes you stand up and pay attention when looking for a business (whether it's looking for a plumber, or an apartment complex, or a clothing store, or any other need)? Does the name stick with you if it's something clever? Or does that matter to you in the long run?

I'm not sure I'm asking the right questions, but I'm hoping to stir up some discussion.

What do you think? I'd love to hear. Thanks!

My fan is going to kill me ;)

It's humid here tonight so I have a box fan propped up in my bedroom window. Every time the wind picks up out there, it makes the fan sound like it's revving up, about to take flight like an airplane.

A year ago (last summer I think it was) the fan actually went FLYING out AT ME because it wasn't secure in the window and the wind was really flowing. So I keep looking over at it, fearing it's about to attack me.

Apparently I have fan PTSD.

;D
