an evolution

[location name, as with what Jeff said]
Omnommery
or just Nommery

but that might be way to wierd seeing some of the opinions here.



Mrs Tweedy's meat pies cakes and tarts?

Mrs Lovett's OTHER pie shop/.

Who's the target audience?? If you're planning on selling this stuff (or your wife is) to forum goers like ourselves, then go for NomNom Cupcakery.

Or if you have a lot of kids aged 16 - 24 or some arbitrary number. But I'd go to a shop like that just because of it's awesome name.

I would literally eat somewhere just because it was called NomNom Cupcakery even if the food was bad.

Two Cups One Cake.

"Peace o′ cake"

To be honest with you, I wouldn't be caught dead in a placed called 'NomNom' unless the food was exceptionally good. Do you know what I see when I see 'NomNom'? I see an overgrown man-child with no business sense, no sense of professionalism and most of all no pride in their work. Why would I subject myself to cupcakes from a place that doesn't even take itself seriously when I could probably spend less money at a professional bakers where they actually work for a living. Or better yet, just spend that cash from the supermarket bakery. Unless you're churning out fresh batches of cupcakes on the hour, every hour, I'm not going to visit a kitschy little shop called 'Nom Nom' on the basis that I once found that internet meme funny when I was about, I dunno, 16?

:icecream:

:lol:



I never really liked the meme tbh, and now its just overused and even less funny.

Just call it "A Yummy Bakery". Simple and makes it sound yummy.

Shake and Bake.

"Funny Strawberries"?

there is a chance you might not pull in your target customer with that.

:foodndrink:

Whiskey Business?

I think that its a pretty good name :biggrin:

What? How does that name say anythig abour how serious it's owner is?
To me it says that the owner is a younger person with some humour. We're talking cupcakes here, cupcakes aren't serious to begin with.
And why would it say the owner has no pride in their work?

I think Nomnom is a pretty decent name. It's modern, and really not all that reliant on the meme, most people should be able to recognize the Nomnom sound and relate that to eating.
I actually think it shows that the owner has more pride and passion about their buissnes since they actually cared to be creative and not just go with something you'd find almost anywhere.

I think some of you are looking to much at the meme, and not at the actual sound. It might be a difference here and America, but if I where to say "nomnomnom" in the right context to my dad or anyone else his age, I'm certain they would understand it's meaning.
If you doproper work on the logo "Nomnom" I think the message could come across to anyone, even people who have not heard of the meme.

And I doubt his girlfriend is doing this for a laugh. She, just like anyone else is probably out to make a living. And how do you know she's not a professional?

I would go with NomNom Cupcakery. But I think NomNom Cakery or NomNom Bakery would be better then Cupcakery

Do you know much about the cupcake business or it's demographics??

Quite frankly you sort of sound like someone who's not much of a cupcake eater in the first place. :rolleyes:

I admit, I'm not much of a dessert person at all. I don't know anything about baking a good cupcake or the people that like cupcakes. I would go as far as to say that the idea of cupcakes never really appealed to me at all - the idea of ingesting an overly sweet and sticky collection of icing sugar and flour into my mouth is enough to make my throat constrict itself in sympathy. What I do know is that NomNom Cupcakery sounds bloody horrendous. To me.

I would like nothing more than for you to prove me wrong, that NomNom Cupcakery will be a healthy and viable seller and dealer of sweet baked goods. But NomNom makes it sound cheap and you'll be selling yourself (and your products) woefully short if you have any shred of credibility and self-respect. There are certain connotations that are bundled in with words and I don't need "lolcats" with my food. In fact, let's look at this as a market research exercise - how many purveyors of food do you know that use words which evoke the idea of animals in their trading name? How are your business cards going to look like? Even just the sound it makes, a childish repetition of a single syllable word evokes not only a certain lack of table manners, it also makes you sound like an idiot saying it. Perhaps my views have been spoilt by fine foods, the numerous cafes in my area or the existence of too many cake shops that sell low quality cakes but I still maintain that NomNom is the worst possible choice of the three. Internet memes go in and out of style. Classy names never do. I would much rather walk the line between pretentiousness and elegance than the minefield between being 'hip' and seriously out of fashion. In 10 years time, 'NomNom' is probably going to go the way the word 'radical' was used to describe notable events, persons or happenings.

I don't like any of the names, really. Pink Velvet sounds like a six shop or something selling sixy underwear (actually I just googled it and it's the name of a lisbian porm series). Nomnom sounds ok, lose the 'cupcakery' part and just call it Nomnoms. Or use these:

There Will Be Cake
Night Of The Living Bread
Naked Bun
The Empire Strikes Bake
Raging Bun
Bunset Boulevard
Farewell, My Concubun

There are three bakeries within four miles of where I live. One is called " Let Them Eat Cake", another is namedafter the owner, "*******'s Cakes" and the third is simply known by the street it's located on.

All three have delicious pastries, cakes, and desserts, the last also has a coffee shop and is a full bakery business.
Customers patronize all three not because of the names, but because of the quality of the baked goods.

Pink Velvet sounds like a euphemism for a womans private parts. NomNomCupcakery sounds to me, lame.

And the fact that "nom" is not even a word makes it worse. If I did not know the meme previously and I heard people talking about something called "Nomnom", I would think that they are morons.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Whenever I hear that dreaded meme, I think of some big fat neckbearded guy just chowing down on lard and making that disgusting sound while getting lard in his beard. Ugh... I hate when I see statuses on Facebook like, "I made lasagna today nomnomnom." UGH!

I found Pink Velvet tolerable until I found out it was a euphemism. What can I say? My mind doesn't immediately drift to what sixual connotations I can make with things.

I don't think that it was meant as a euphemism.

Were talking about a bakery that will sell cakes and stuff like that. It doesn't need a serious name, we're not talking about a name for a Jewelry Store or like Financial assistance company, it's cake. I don't even care for cakes or candy or anything like that, not because of the any health or class reason but I just don't care for it when I have a chance to eat a dessert, I'd rather just fill up on more from the food from dinner (tho I do love brownies).
I don't even see Nom Nom as a meme, I guess it is but when I see it I think more of the chewing noise aor kinda like talking to a little baby "oh you want some nom nom's?" but still it's not like he's naming it "u likz mudkipz? bakery"
Again it's just a bakery, I really really doubt that someone (or most people at least) who is looking to buy a cake is going to avoid that place just because it doesn't have a uptight business-guru style name. Now if I was looking for a Financial assistance company and I saw one called "Double Rainbow all the way" Financial assistance.....I probably wouldn't go to that one.
