    Or:

    Green Sky Media
    Spelbot Media
    S2 Media

    I only prefer media because it can span a wider swath of prospective customers. And rolls off the tongue pretty nicely too, eh?

    Acronyms would be:

    GSM
    SM
    S2M

    Hmmm….round here a Green Sky means a tornado in a few minutes!

    Too many Northern Sky out there.

    Monster in the name doesn’t sound like a pro.

    People don’t like bots because they collect email addresses for spamming.

    S2 is good, so is Keylight.

    Good tips already…. in addition, you might want to Google all your choices too to make sure there are no (or few) others with those names. You don’t want someone searching your company name and it popping up on page 7 because there are 232 other companies with the same or similar names before you.

    I’d stay away from alliterative names, too, especially Ps (Pixel Perfect, etc.).

    Don’t forget to say the names out loud, what does it sound like when answering the phone, or telling someone about your business, etc.? A lot of names look great visually, but don’t roll off the tongue easily or are easily confused with something else.

    Helps to be up in the alphabet, hence my name is BIZ Video. Many listings are alphabetical. How about AAAA Video?

    Haha I like the T2. Very good point todd thanks, I have done some light searching on these names and the latter half of the list seems to be pretty free. You think you have a somewhat original idea then 2 seconds of google just shatters that lol. For what it’s worth the S2 should be rather S² if that changes anything.
