Christine, first of all...welcome to AR! I just love how you've jumped in and gotten your feet wet!
There are some stagers her that use their name and then there are those of us that put some other spin on it! What are you leaning more towards.
I started by writing a few words down on paper that I liked and started playing with them.
I used to be Inspirational Home Interiors but I though it was too long so last year I changed my company name to
Elite Home Decor
I wanted something that would encompass all I do as I do decorating, colour consultations, organizing along with staging.

Ok I thought of a few new ones which I am really starting to like. Let me know what you think...
Decor Elements
Staged Right
Design Essentials
too bad my favorite name ever is taken by a fabulous store in town...Rooms & Gardens
Welcome aboard, Cristine.
Your current business name could easily sound like a label for designer clothes if no one knows what you do and if there is no image (i.e. a house) to go along with the name / logo. Sometimes a surname works well in combination with an industry term i.e. Sharp ReDesigns or Smart Staging Solutions (I just made that one up ... don't know if it belongs to anyone).
I just can't come up with something that includes either "Christine" or "Craig" ...
Hey again Christine!
I hear you. I didn't want a cheezy name either. I came up with one I liked, Velvet Plum, and would you believe it, there is already a stager with that?!
I too wanted a name for straight interior decoration as well. I finally came up with 2 Hounds Design (after my 2 dogs). Some say it is a liability, but most don't.
I like Decor Elements. How about Decor Elements by Christine, if you want to include your name?
My company is Moving Mountains Productions, Inc. dba (doing business as) Moving Mountains Design, Moving Mountains Design & Home Staging and Moving Mountains Home Staging. I use Moving Mountains Design for my Interior Design company, and the others are self explanatory. My domain is www.MovingMountainsDesign.com . It definitely helps to have the term "home staging" or "real estate staging" in your company name and domain name in terms of search engine optimization.
IMHO, having your name in the name of your company makes it sound like a one woman show, not a larger company.
http://realestatestagingassociation.com/choosing-a-business-name/ here is an article I wrote on choosing a name. hope it help
I agree with Michelle, about the larger company issue. you can always ad and Associates to make it feel larger and work with other stagers.
I'm curious what you chose after all? You could just go Christy Interiors:) Very friendly.
