Naming a Comic and Game Store

Bonemagus · Post by **Bonemagus** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:52 am

If you were to open a Comic and Game Store what would you call it?

Now heavy gaming related terms are not out of the question but names that are a bit more generic but yet have that gaming/nerdy elment might be better choices.

But all in all I would love some help with a name.

Thanks in advance

I vote for the "Androids Dungeon", its the name of the comic/game store on the simpsons.

"Cthulhu Fhtagn"

But that's probably too geeky...

I would have to go with "+1 Store of Gaming".

Game Depot is the name of the one I go to, I like the name. Working off of bloodknife's idea plus one gaming or plus one games. The dragons den of games, I think it would help if we had some more info on the major games. Fire, Steel and Magic could work, yes that is my final answer.

id call it 'state of mind' or something like that, which refers to immagination, fantasy, and the social aspects of games in general...

I would call it "D6 Comics & Games": D6 makes it nerdy, Comics and games tell people clearly what's the business all about. Later on people would know the store easily as "D6".

I have changed my mind i will have to say "+1 Store of Storing".

imagination outpost?

While you could get quite imaginative with geeky names, a name that isn't geeky might bring in more "off the street" business, as opposed to the same regular nerds.

Off the Street Comics and Games.

I just thought that up.

Sex and Violence Hobby....

On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea.

Thanks for the Suggestions keep them coming in as we consider names they will be helpful.

Imperial Outpost or IO is one near me or warboss. The one I go to is Gamers loot. Very ironic considering when three stores closed and they jacked all the tables and product from them when they were going out of business.

Lowcash beat me to it but "Tha Androids Dungeon" is the way to go. Maybe with "Comics and Games" subtitled underneath.
Yopu might have to check with someone about trademark infringement though.

I'd name my store "Free XXX", the geek visitors would roll in.
Just kidding, I've been watching too much 'Zero Punctuation'.
