Whether you're starting up a physical bookshop, selling online, or perhaps just playing around with a dream or two – A catchy name is the first step to opening shop.  Okay well that..and inventory 😉

But sometimes just the name itself can get the ball rolling into what may become something much bigger than imagined.  This is exactly what happened when I opened my vintage Etsy shop (OMG I Had That).  I have received quite a few emails with such wonderful compliments on the catchy name and how it's so fitting to items of the past.  If you're in a reading mood (and I have a sneaky suspicion that you are), we also sell lots and lots of books that may pique your interest if you love those vintage memories and reads!  

I digress…
Let's get back to the books (oooh, another good name…maybe).  Some of the names you see on this list may already be in use for online shops or even a real life bookstore; but I'm definitely trying my best to come up with unique and creative for you.  Actually, I have been toying around with the idea of opening a bookshop of my own (unlike my vintage shop, this would be strictly books!), so this is a great way to get those creative juices flowing for everyone!

Let's get started on the list, shall we?
