Default Suggestion: Name for Bakery
I'm brainstorming names for a bakery I'm hoping to open in a year. Just one
simple, effective and possibly catchy word.

I would like to see if you have any suggestions. The bakery is basically a
homey, rustic type (with mostly an European flavor/twist) - scones,
poundcakes, pies/tarts, cookies, crackers, breads (and eventually sandwiches &
soups).

Thank you very much.

Ciao, Michael

How's about "Bakewell's", or "The Cake Walk", or "Loafers", or ... ahahahaa
.... "Starring Rolls" or "Nice Buns"?

Now this is something I've been thinking about posting here, but haven'thad
the opportunity until now.

I do not care for this new trend of naming restaurants, stores, etc one word
names.

There is a restaurant nearby me called "Wish". Silly.

I have heard of many new, trendy restaurants in NYC, especially, being named
with one-word names. Here's a samplling from "Citysearch.com"

Mix March Hunters Jane
Veritas Icon Punch Taste Deborah
Sage Alias Relish Village Clove
Zoe Anytime Craft First Prune Town Josephina
WD-50 Pop Thalia Inside Jefferson Compass
Merge Pfiff Amuse Thom Elmo Butter No.9
Choice Nikki Eugene Charlotte Demi Public
Island


Enough!!!! (there's probably a restaurant named "Enough" somewhere, too, if
not, yet, there will be, soon).

When did this trend start?
Does anyone agree it's pretentious?

It's one thing to name a restaurant "Elmo's". One would assume either the
chef or the owner were named "Elmo". It makes sense. It's like saying
"Elmo's restaurant", only the "restaurant" part is understood. That's cool.
That works. It's descriptive. But the restaurant is just called "Elmo".
Like it's a person. Strikes me as pretentious with a capital P.

And really, who would want to eat at a restaurant named "PRUNE"? Or "Pfiff"?

I am obviously not up on what's hip, chic and trendy, thankfully, because I
think the new naming style is goofy and silly.

Your bakery should be called "Michael's European Bakery". Because that's
what it is. It says everything the name of a business needs to say: "This
is a bakery. We sell baked goods like those found in Europe. Michael owns
it." And when you branch out into soup and sandwiches, add the words "and
Deli" to the sign!!!

Voila!

One logically named bakery.

Where I grew up, there's a lovely place called Pie in the Sky. If it
ever closed, the community would shrivel up.

There are 12,000 restaurants in the city. Maybe they ran out of names.

Not really. What's it pretending to be?

haha, Prune in NYC is one of the best places I've dined at in the last
couple of years. I look at the menu, not the name of the restaurant.

Probably with "Eats." :>

Not necessarily. Mario Batali has (or had) several one-word-name
restaurants: Po (not only one word, but only two letters!), Babbo,
Lupa, Esce. Then there's Lutec and Aureole.

Some of the high end restaurants in NYC do have one name, eg. "Daniel"
and "Bouley"

Those are all fairly established restaurants, I don't think one word
per se is a new trend.

OTOH, some of the examples you gave do sound odd as a name for a
restaurant ("Butter"? "Town"? "Public"? "Merge"?). But others are
nice, eg "Sage." I don't know why they strike me differently :>

Whimsey can be nice. There is a bakery around here called "Himalaya
Joy Bakery" It's a nice, conventional restaurant, no Himalayan
treats, run by women who are in a cult.

Run by women who are in a cult? That's intriguing. What sort of
baked goods do they produce?
