The characters in my series run a matchmaking agency and VisitasKeat gave me some great suggestions for names. Thanks, VisitasKeat! Thanks to her, I now have a name for it that I’m very happy with: Cupid’s Kiss.
I'm also looking for a name for the dating classes that my characters run.
What do you think of:
The Love Files
The Dating Files
The Love Wars Dating School
The Lovebirds Dating School
Davina's Dating Do's and Don'ts
Davina's Dating Do's and DEATHS
Darlings' Dating Do's and Deaths
Kill Your Darlings Dating School
[the above means get rid of all the moves and come-ons you thought were so good but seem too obvious or just plain bad. It might be a bit too subtle for readers to understand but Davina would explain what it means.]
or can you suggest anything better?
the agency also runs a Makeover School. they give men and women physical makeovers, improving their hair styles, posture, wardrobes, dress sense etc. and also personality development classes to help them improve their personalities.
Which names do you like best for the Makeover School:
The Frog to Prince Makeover School [I think that could sound insulting]
The Duckling to Swan Makeover School
Swan Makeover School
Makeover Magic
Ramp Up Makeover School
Fabulous You Makeover School
Frump to Fab Makeover School
Glum to Glam Makeover School
Glum to Glam, Frump to Fab Academy/School/World
Glum to Glam, Frump to Fab Prep
or can you suggest anything better? Thanks!

Davina's Dating Files would appear personal and brand intensive. Davina makes for a strong opening. Nice name selection. Looks good for me.
Some more to consider:
Rendezvous Secrets
Celibate Cravings
Loveshine Roses
Darling Roses
Bouquets & Blushes
Sorority Pass
Sassy & Prude
Body Sparks
Yin & Yang
For makeover school:
Frog idea is very interesting.
So, how about Kiss Frog Makeover School?
-
I think the class names should give a strong hint as to what the classes are about.
"Do's and Dont's" makes sense
Some others:
"Dress For Success"
"Don't Ruin It"
"Hook, Line and Ring Her"
"Meeting the BFF (or Family, or Squad, or Crew)"
"Learn to Listen - And What To Do With What You Hear"
"Plan the Best First Date"
"How to have a great first date on Zoom" (classes offered remotely because of COVID)
-
Thanks a lot, VisitasKeat and Amanda. Some of your names would work well as chapter titles and I’ll save them in my file.
"Hook, Line and Ring Her" is very clever and it gave me an idea. I also need a name for the flirting classes that one of the male characters runs, classes where he teaches how to seduce women.
I’ll call his classes: "Hook, Line and SINK Her."
and for the dating classes, I’ll use Davina's Dating Do's and Don'ts since as Amanda said, the class names should give a strong hint as to what the classes are about and "Do's and Dont's" makes sense.
I’m not satisfied with my names for the Makeover School. What do you think of:
Amp Up, Ramp Up Glam School
Amp Up Your Glam
Ramp Up Your Glam
I’ll also feature characters with jobs that have potential for humor. Eg, one will run a sex toy shop or a business that manufactures sex toys. Can you suggest a good name for a sex toy shop or a business that manufactures sex toys?
-
Toys XXX Us
-
Toys XXX Us –that’s pretty good! But will I get into any trouble since it’s so obviously a play on Toys R Us?
-
IANAL but Toys R Us doesn't exist here anymore.
