Help me Name my new Company

I figured Vanity is the best place to post this. It's the first time I've posted anything other than a reply so please go easy on me.

I've just started a company to provide "outsourced IT." It's an off-shoot of an engineering company I'm a partner in. We found that our current customer base needed an IT department while not being able to afford a full time IT person. So, for a fraction of what a full time person would cost, we provide the service for them. And any other business with similar needs. While I've been self employed for years now, I've never had to come up with a name before. I look around and see business with really cool, easy to understand, easy to market (having nothing to do with "selling"). One of the best I've seen is a local company called IMAGINiT.

SO now I turn to my fellow freepers to come up with something much greater than I could alone. Please help me.

How about "I.T.4me"?

I'll be happy to collect my consulting fee when your company goes public. ;)

I'd seriously consider

XXX GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS XXX.

It seems to attract attention.

Just kiddin'! Good luck with your new company.

How about your three initials then , Inc.

How about Rent-a-geek? :)

It may help if you gave specifics on what type of engineering work you do?

Construction?
bridges?
satellites?

I.T.'s ALIVE!

(I want a piece of the action if you like this) ;^)

Mechanical Engineering. Solid Modeling. But, while this will be initially aimed at our current customers, eventually we'd like for it to help us enter a larger market with a different service altogether. Right now we only deal with manufacturers. With this new company we'll deal with every small company in our area.

Bluefish, Inc. might work.

I like yours. Kinda goes with the I.T.s ALIVE thing too

[AngrySpud]

How about ORBiT or orbIT ... you could design a cool company logo to go with it.

Please forgive the clumsiness but these are top-of-the-head ramblings.

Engineers tend to be pretty hardnosed, practical types, but with a hidden playful streak. Since you're doing "external" IT, how about something like XternIT, or OutShop?

Think of yourself as a data wrangler. Is there a cowboy metaphor you could adopt? "ITslinger." "Matrix Marshall."

How about drawing from classical physics? Newton. Fermat. Bohr. Einstein. Euclid.

There are always the Greek and Roman gods: Apollo, Mercury, Hermes, Poseidon ... The names sound cool even if their application to IT is pretty far-fetched.

I doubt if any of this will help, but it was fun to brainstorm.
