Tips when using a Foreign Name for your Bakery
– Be careful with the choice of words; people must not mistake your bakery to specialize only in the products of that region.
– Have a food product from that cuisine, or at least add an element in your bakery related to that language.
– For instance, if you want a French name, have French goodies in your menu, or design the interiors of your bakery in the French style.
This may sound clichéd and boring, but using your name is one of the safest options.

Factors to Consider
Keep it Simple
This key rule is applicable to practically all walks of life. You can go all bombastic with words, but for a business to flourish, even a simple name will do. You can pick something that comes to your mind first. Keeping it simple does not mean it needs to be plain and common, it just has to be less complicated and clear to understand. ‘Clear’, as in, it should convey to the public that your shop sells baked goodies and not anything else.
Shorter Names Work
Have you heard of the adage, less is more? Your name need not be a long sentence. It can consist of a few words, just enough to tell people what you sell. The key here is to use those few words effectively.
Prioritize and Choose
Many a time, people tend to get confused about how to choose. You might want a family name, or may be a foreign name, etc. So first, think about what kind of name you want, and then choose.
Limit the Cheesiness
Just because you want the name to sound cute, it does have to be cheesy. Do not have a cuteness overload, for it might begin to sound irritating later.
Get Personal
Use your name, your family name, your pet’s name, etc., they all will do. Sometimes, there may be a scenario where a woman wants to start a bakery business because she promised her grandmother, or may be a man wants to do the same to pay tribute to his pet who loved baked stuff. It may sound melodramatic, but it does happen, and if you feel so, you can have a similar name as well. ‘Jerry’s Jams and Donuts’ or ‘Susan’s Scrumptious Treats’ sound great.
Shakespeare had famously questioned, ‘What’s in a name?’, but nowadays, a good business name is very important. So, do spend some time in choosing a good one. Do not get worked up thinking about it though, because even if the name help you attract clients, ultimately, your products will do the talking. Good luck and Happy Baking!
