How to name a publishing company and media group

In the last week I've set up my new publishing company as well as a media group (which acts as a holding company for everything I do).

My first issue was naming them both.  I wanted something unique...and awesome.  I researched and read up on how to name a company, and when it came to the publishing company I decided to go with the likes of Acer et al, and pick a name in another language which was meaningful.

Now most people would go with Latin.

But I'm not most people.

I named my publishing company Irri-Aepha Publishing.  Irri meaning "believe", and aepha meaning "compose".  And what language did I name it in, you ask? I named it in Rihannsu.

Which is another name for Romulan.

Here's a Romulan for non-Trekkies.




















And then there was the media group... What name could I use for that, that was equally awesome?

This:



Yeah, I did.  Interestingly, there is actually a whole Roman mythology thing behind the names Romulus and Remus, and it's apparently popular to name companies after mythological figures.  So I could go with that line if I wanted to.

But we all know I won't! ;)

And now for the plug:
