Hey #paleobubble and fellow fossil nerds, What would be a good name for a company building #dinosaur and other #paleontology #exhibits for #museums? We plan to include hands-on science labs, the latest research, and original fossils in our displays. Four suggestions in the poll below, multiple choices are possible. Please add your own suggestions in the comments and boost boost boost! Now I'm curious 🧐

This seems a niche market where clients (museum curators?) find you via word-of-mouth and trade exhibits rather than ā€œa quick google searchā€? Then consider something unexpected, something that describes your passion and take on the job rather than the job itself. Exhibiting Prehistory is punchy, but to me it sounds like a caterer called ā€œServing Foodā€.

E.g., The Brain Scoop (Emily Graslie’s show from the Field Museum) is memorable and reflective of her approach, but not obvious.

Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing!

@etschopp @johannes_lehmann Yes, this is an important point, we often think too literally, especially as science-y types. What you want is a memorable name, any name really, that becomes synonymous with what you're selling.

Amazon doesn't sell rivers.
Apple don't sell apples (although Amazon does these days!).
And Nothosaur don't sell nothosaurs (look it up)!

So, how about 'Tschopp'. ;)
