Names for dating classes and a Makeover School?
« on: August 10, 2020, 03:41:59 PM »

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 –that’s pretty good! But will I get into any trouble since it’s so obviously a play on Toys R Us?
