I'm going to set up the mama store, as suggested by Springy. I love the idea of having a central site for mamas to post their goodies.

Many details will follow, but first things first...

we need a name!

What should we call it? No "hipmama" anywhere in the name for trademark reasons.

Whoever picks the name, WINS! (As in, "first one to the tree wins!" OR "whoever eats the most bugs wins!"... no real prize...just the honor)

Feel free to post new ideas for names, or vote for names you like.

what kind of store is this

an online store? i guess for the same reason you can't use HM, you can't use R Us.

Ooops - I guess I should

Ooops - I guess I should have given more detail. Its an online store for hipmamas to sell their artwork, crafts, skull-hairpins, etc.

See http://www.hipmama.com/node/20144

And I dont mind pissing of the R-US people so that would be fine. I just dont want to piss of the hipmama people.

pissing them off

is one thing. they have the money to rape you legally and financially if you boost the name.

maybe

the name should include what the store is about...not just mama-whatever but mamacrafts or something along those lines.

I agree

I've been mulling over names in my mind. Something that's catchy but memorable, and gives an inkling to what's offered (that part could be in the tagline).

would this be a collective?

I mean folks will handle their own money-end of things...boomer is putting it up the site and I think maintaining it?

Yes, everyone will deal with

Yes, everyone will deal with their own money... paypal is best for buyers. I'm going to put up the site and maintain it. I will likely put up a donation button so if anyone makes lots of sales they can donate to site maintenance if they wish, but it is not a requirement.

I am working out the details and will post them in the next week or so.

Cool

sorry, I thought I knew that, but I've been so scatterbrained lately (You know how my life is these days...)

Okay so collective is out.

I like 'mama-made art wares' as a tag line but nothing has really jumped out to me for a over-all name. I do like Mamarama but I know I have heard that somewhere before (can't remember where tho).
