Naming an Etsy or Shopify shop
Etsy shop names can be up to 20 characters with no spaces, so test the joined-up version ("ThePaperFox"). On Shopify, your shop name becomes your store title and often your domain. Choose something broad enough for future products: "Wick & Co." works if you add soaps later, "CandlesOnly" does not.
Naming a physical shop
Walk-in customers decide in seconds. A clear product word in the name or a strong window sign helps. Check that no other shop in your area uses a similar name, and look on Google Maps before you order signage.
