I think I heard somewhere that business with the x/cks sound tend to catch in people's memory. I like "Earth to Mommy," as already suggested, but the first one that jumped into my mind was "Mommy Organix"

I have a home business and names it based on what the business was doing for my life or what it could do for others. You have been given some great suugestions here so far, my thoughts... go to www.godaddy.com and play around with some names. If what you try is taken, they will give you several suggestions and sometimes the ideas are good or might help with your imagination, also look up words in a thesaurus for similar words with same meanings.

How about you make up your own word like "Organicky" (Organic clothing for picky moms) or "Organomics" or "Organomitry"

Good luck on your new business venture!

Added - just thought of another good one! How about "Earth to Mommy" ?

You'd be amazed at how many names suggested are "taken" already. make sure to research any name you choose.

Personally I think the market is over-saturated with "green" baby product names so try something more unique, but totally memorable: Kaola Care or Teeny Beanies or the like. You know, not re-stating the green/organic angle by using "green, pure, nature, natural" etc as I feel those terms are being tuned out by consumers. And avoid weird spellings like Kare, Shak, etc. Good luck!

Maybe put your last name into it, or your first. Something as simple as Georgetown Organics sounds good to me and easy to remember. I like Earth to Mom or Mommy Organix. Other ideas that come to mind:

Simply Smith (last name Smith)
Pure Fun
Simply Pure
Lullaby
Cradle and All
(take other song lyrics from Lullabies - that's where I got "Cradle and All.")
Wonder Organix

Here's an idea....You should put a name list together and survey what people think. In school I ended up naming my business for a project I was working on based on a survey I passed out. Otherwise:
Simply Natural
Simply Pure
Nature's kiss
etc....Good luck :)

I would actually name it something sightly offensive. Something like:
Screw the Earth
and have a tag line like:
I do this because I love my kids, not the earth!

You need something memorable and memories are based on emotion. If you can link an emotion to something, then you can get people to remember the name of your store. Happy emotions are hard to get to link to something, especially in an over saturated market, so offensive is the way to go on that front.

Also people remember 2 things that go together (rhyming or synonyms) and then a 3rd that seems out of place. People remember it because it is expected that the 3rd thing will go with the 1st 2 and when it doesn't it stands out.
