Pick something that makes you sound like a long established business that can command premium rates.

Tyrell* Designs sounds more impressive than Donald Duck Web for example.

Think customer.

*Tyrell is also a nifty make of bike

couple of points, once you have a name look on companies house to see if someone got there first and don't put a date in the name. If you go and call yourself tyrell designs 2010, first you haven't been around long so what experience, and secondly, how many times have you gone bust already? maybe working around building contractors makes me cynical about phoenixes.

something completely not associated with design or the internet seems to be the way to go, how about Rock Salt - just checked it's already been used, so maybe not.

Basically you want to be really anal & poncey about your hard work.

You need a name that instantly tells people what you do without them having to think about it.

For example - Rock Salt - May be a cool name, but sounds like you're selling something to grit your drive with.

Boba Web Designs - Not so cool, but tells everyone instantly that you do Web Designs.
