Deanna Chaffee replied to the discussion 'deciding on a business name'"An important thing (I think) is to also see if the domain name is taken. I too stressed and went back and forth. When I finally decided on one, i'd plug it in to the computer (xxx.com) and see what came up. Another thing I found, is that…"
