GPA counts most to employers if you’re applying for an internship or cooperate job and you’re still in school. When you’re out of school it really only matters for your first job post-college, and even then only in certain situations can it make or break you.

It largely depends on the nature of the business, the target audience, the values and attributes of your startup. Different names will appeal to different target audiences.

Are certain words used frequently? Are the names long or short? Are they jokey or serious? You’ll discover by doing this, for instance, that fast-food shops often have jokey names, but accountants don’t. This sort of information is useful for you when it comes to naming your own business — you are picking the brains of people who have been through what you are going through now. Then think of the values and attributes you want your business to have. Is it a cheap price? A friendly service? A local business? Something unique? Something luxurious? Names should reflect these qualities and tell potential customers something about you.
