Name my specialist privacy consultancy
June 7, 2017 10:53 PM Subscribe
I'm quitting my stable job with a big corporation and going into the rough and tumble world of consulting as a specialist privacy consultant.
But I need to come up with a name for my consulting business and I'm struggling. Hope me, Mefites?
I'm a specialist privacy lawyer - the consulting work I plan to do is on privacy and technology regulation, compliance, and policy. Rewriting policy frameworks and such...
My name is pretty common, so "[Name] Consulting" is out.
I'd like something that uses the concepts of privacy, security and trust OR is just meaningless and cool sounding.
And it needs to be unique enough for me to be able to register a domain.

Response by poster: Does it have to be your name?
Nope. I'm open to anything. I was thinking about 'Ansible Consulting' but it's taken by many, many people.
I see what you did there.

Best answer: Palisade, Palus, Bulwerk or Bulwork (Bulwark is taken; Bulwork is an HR agency in Bulgaria but maybe you'd be fine if you don't live there?), Garrison

Privacy Assured Policy Consultants or perhaps Privacy Secured Policy Consultants.
Or more whimsically - Privacy Assured Legal Specialists (PALS) - Slogan? "You can trust your PALS!"

A workaround I've often seen is to promote yourself as [yourname] Consulting, but your domain name is a reference to a service you provide. It's actually a very clever way to showcase your services so that people remember both who you are and what you do.
Example: John Doe Consulting at www.yourprivacylawyer.com (not available, but yourprivacy.lawyer is)
Other thoughts on available domains: Securitechlegal.com, soxstar.com (if you do a lot with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance), yourpolicyguru.com
