Ask HN: Crowdsourcing a company name

[volodarik]

Hello, HN community. I'm the CEO of Coding Ninjas; we connect studios and marketers with qualified and vetted freelance developers and designers. We love our name, but some time ago we discovered that there is a big Indian coding school with the same name and we don't want to be associated with young developers, as everyone in our community has 4+ years of experience and is not from India. It is such a pain to find a new one that will stick forever. Especially that our first language is not English. We don't want to use in the name: freelancer, coder, online, marketplace or anything like this. There are a bunch of names like this, and they sound needy.

We want something that will be associated with the safe space, where you can come and delegate coding and design and concentrate on your main business. I want people to think that this is their dedicated team that is always there in their back pocket.

If you have any ideas, would appreciate your opinion.

If you want to get across the idea of putting trust in you, maybe something like Safe Hands?

Thank you for your comment. Something like this, but safe hands sounds more like an insurance company, we are a dedicated team, that you can trust and be sure your work will be done. Something like "Trusted Team", but I don't like trusted team :)

Just replace Ninjas to something, what about Coding Сossacks ))

This is funny :) and actually, could work, but we want to change "coding" too, as we are already beyond coding, and want to expand to design, marketing, data entry, accounting, etc.
