Soon we will be changing our name!.. If you are wondering why we are changing... Well... For starters we wanted something to reflect us a little better. We also wanted something that no one else has as a name. Your probably wanting to know what this new name is.. Guess you'll just have to wait and see!

Probably not.

There are FAR much more important parameters than the name: as price, quantity,
diversity, service, speed, packaging, difference, whatever...

However, I would avoid a name with negative connotation - like StupidBricks
for example.
Who'd wish to buy there!?

Not strange: they don’t offer any ‘onsite’ payement method (PayPal Onsite or
Stripe), so BL can’t collect your sales tax, so BL says ‘doesn’t ship to you’.

Thank you, I did not know that. There are so many things for a seller to know
now. It was so simple back in 2010.

Being honest, if someone’s store name was “StupidBricks,” I would literally buy
from them simply because they made me laugh 🤣

So is that a "yes" or a "no"? Asking for a friend.

Good luck on the name change. I kinda like the name you have now but hope it
all works out.

This would be the third name. If I were a buyer I would wonder why.
I have seen a lot of stupid names for stores over the years. Like someone said
avoid negative names like Ripoff Bricks, Give Me Money Bricks, 666 Bricks, You'll
Be Sorry Bricks, Bricks You Will Never Get, and Dirty Old Man Bricks (which was
my first choice for a store name.)

Seeing as you're a new store, it shouldn't. If you were a more well-known
store, your repeat customers might get a little confused at first. But you should
be fine.
