  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Am I in the wrong?

Choose something that sounds good to a lender. Something that has meaning to you and appeals to clients. Something that makes your company sound friendly but more than a mom and pop operation with an office in the basement of one of the buildings.
 
What will be the cost of changing the name of your company? Figure it out and tell your b.f. he needs to chip in.
 
Keep the name your current bf will get over it if he loves you . Also don’t get any of your bf’s names tattooed on you lol

But why the fuck would you have a company that was a combination of your name and your ex?

My eyes just roll whenever I see these names like KevDan Appliances or CharlBeth Holdings. Either just use your own name if you want it to look like a small time company or use something that will appeal to your customer base or to business partners and suppliers. It is why I suggested Lotus earlier. Or another flower or plant...or something from a piece of music that you love. Something with poetic power and grace. Something that is auspicious.

hahaha.

None of these are in land holdings. They were all manufacturers, retailers or in the case of Disney, inventors and imagineers of the last century or before. And anything in finance often starts as a professional LLC.

I can guarantee that if Musk were to rebrand Tesla as Muskmobile, sales would die.

General Motors was a great example of a company founded by Sam McLaughlin that was smart enough to see big. General Electric saw beyond Edison. Very few individuals have the presence to carry it off.


Even Trump has found that you can destroy a brand with more than half your potential customers. It was great on the way up, when you could bloviate and cheat your way to fame...but even the kids were smart enough to realize that the successor property development company would need to be called Scion.

Now, absolutely.
But that might not have been the case five years or so ago, before he let the entire world see his jackassery.

I understand that Tesla sales have started to fall anyway because of the association with him.
 
^ And this the core of the advice that I am offering.

Divorce a brand from the person. Protect the brand above all...no matter what stories appear in the paper. Keep a distance between the company and the people who own it.

The person at the helm can be an axe murderer...but as long as their company is named something like Windsong Holdings....most people will never click.

If Harvey Weinstein had been smart enough to call his ego project Vinum Lapis...it might have sailed through
 
Ladies, last week I filed with the state business department to have my company name legally changed. They just approved it.

I thought long and hard for a new name. Couldn't come up with any. So I just ended using my childhood nickname, which is in another language and the only people who recognizes it as my childhood nickname are my immediate family members. To anyone else, it might as well be something like ABCDE Properties (I almost chose this name). It's pronounced Ab-si-dee.
 
Sounds good.

Well done and now you own it. And it has good associations (I hope) for you.

Onward and upward.
 
A good choice! Congratulations!

Has the boyfriend calmed down?

I started my company when I was still with my ex husband. We combined part of my last name with part of his to come up with the company name. The resulting name is original and I like it.

Fast forward to now. A couple years after our divorce. I kept the company name. My boyfriend keeps telling me it's a slap in the face every time he sees the name. I've been trying my best to keep the name out of sight from him, but it's my company and it turns up every so often. He really wants me to change the name.

The thing is I like he name. And everything is intertwined with that name by now.

Am I in the wrong for wanting to keep that name? Or should I rename my company?

Edit.

No I will not tell you guys my company name. This forum has trolls. I can name a few off the top of my head. I just don't wanna deal with the headache of trolls attacking my business.

If your ex is not with it change it. Did he ask you for anything; compensation, alimony, etc?
If not, just do it

LOL he ran away with all my money when the hard times hit. Every startup has to go thru this trial period. Man, those were tough times. Anyway, he also bought a $100k car while I was driving a rust bucket with $250k miles on it. Heck, there was a time that I had to sleep with my dogs in that van.

Once I stabilized the company and got the books to be in the black, he wanted half when we were going thru divorce.

I still love him. I don't have control over it. But looking back, good God did he eff me over.

The (current) boyfriend isn't that much better. I have a knack for letting guys eff me over. I'll figure something out.

Quick word.

Dump the current BF as well. Just do it.

Stop fucking down. Start spending time with guys who are at your level or above it.

You don't need to be the superior one in every relationship offering hand-outs to the needy.

Hell, at this point I'll take a sugar daddy any day. Unfortunately, I'm too old. The big 40 just knocked on my door and told me my life is over.

It was lying.

And if that's you in your avatar pic, it wasn't even lying convincingly.

One point worth taking from that article I posted in the new thread in Hot Topics on prioritizing friendship over romance is that too many people stay in romantic relationships with people they don't even really like.

Bad idea.

If you can't find worthwhile gay men in or around Indianapolis, start making weekend trips to Chicago.

You can do better than boyfriends who steal your money or pitch petulant fits over the name of your company.

PS -- If your ex screwed you over that royally, maybe it's a good thing your company no longer has him in its name.

Agree. The BF's request is a HUGE red flag and a warning of things to come.

You don't need a sugar daddy. But you don't have to be one either. At 40, your life isn't even likely half over. Do you really want to be spending the next 20 years fucking guys who see you as a cash machine? Better to be single and just play around with casual hook-ups.
