    Help us name our expo

    OK so my new business is holding an expo in conjunction with another business and we are looking for a name for our expo - it is incorparating business and services from pregnancy/birth, baby through to teenagers and other general family stuff. The other business I am working with is a photography business and so we are holding a modelling competition for the older kids so we need a name that will appeal to teenagers as well as families - got an ideas????

    these are a few we have but we arn't overly keen on any of them

    My Child - family lifestyle expo
    Australian Baby and family expo
    Parenting, children and youth expo





    Thaks guys

    Umm, you better watch those first ones - isn't there already a My Child something-or-other? Or am I thinking of the Melbourne Child magazine?

    There are the parents/babies/children expos running already, it might pay to check if you can use the last names on your list.
    You might find it hard to appeal to teenagers, aim at the parents cos they will be the ones dragging them there!
    I'd incorporate Family somewhere in the title.

    gl!

    yeah the my child sounded familar to me also

    The only ones running that we know of is the pregnancy, babies and children expo.

    Yeah our main audience is obviously the parents but due to the fact that a large portion of our time is going to be dedicated to running these modelling comps in heats etc leading up to the expo with the finals being held at the expo I thought it would be good to call it something they were happy to tell their friends about "ie - we are going to see the ... expo" or "I'm in the finals of the ... expo" IYKWIM. Ultimately I guess we could name the modelling comp something seperate and just incorpoate it into the expo as a side event

    Just be careful they can't hassle you if your name sounds like theirs. I'd would be nice if I could actually offer a good name idea myself but I think my head is broke today

    Thanks Lulu - have had a look and they don't seem to have the name registered in any way except as the name of their expo - so should be fine and we are only going to be a little regional expo - they probably won't even hear about us, considering they only go to the "major capitial cities"

    Would love to pick something different but my brain is complete cotton wool when it comes to picking names

    I was trying to think of something that rhymed with 'steps' so it could be "baby steps to something-that-rhymes-with-steps-that-represents-teenagers"
    hmmm, didn't quite come up with anything sorry

    And I do declare I used my last bit of brain power on that one . I was about to log off to do some homework (yeh, right), and I thought "I'll just go check on that tots to teens thing, see if someone came up with a name". Nuts.
