How would I create my own brand name?

Create a brand name for a professional service

• We are a firm of patent attorneys. Most of our business comes from filing and prosecuting patent, trademark and design applications (commonly known as 'Intellectual Property' or IP) for our clients, both in Europe and throughout the world. We will shortly be adding to our website a facility for clients to be able to view their own patent, trademark and design records, for cases that we are handling, online. What we need is a good, snappy-but-professional brand name that we can use with this service. Ideas so far include IPView and IPVista, but I'm sure you can do better! Shorter names are better; and please remember they must be suitable for a professional firm. You need not check trademark or domain name availability for your ideas, but please don't copy any names you already know of. I know that open-ended questions of this type aren't attractive to researchers, so I'll accept as an answer at least 15 good-quality names. Anybody wanting to post comments can do so as well, and I'll follow up with individual supplementaries, with the same pricing, to anyone who suggests at least 3 good names in a comment posted by Friday 23rd May. I am posting specific identical queries to Missy, Ace and Pink. Just 'cause I like them.
