I was on the site one day, and my wife actually asked me, "hey, what's that site you're on?" I told her its a new stock site I had just joined. She goes, "What a great name for a stock site, I really like it." She's a non-photographer, who only recognizes a few of the names of the sites I blab to her about...like when I tell her, "guess what honey the photo of the dog sold 3 times today on Shutterstock". I don't know. Not that it means much, but I just thought I'd share her opinion.
I can understand what Mike's saying, about pitching the name of the agency to your boss. But then again, what's the difference between a name like "Yaymicro" and "Dreamstime", or even "Fotolia". Google and Yahoo are among the internet's biggests names. You could name your business something riciculous like "POOPtropolis" or "dingledongle"...as long as it does what people need it to do, and you have good marketing - it just might catch on. Who knows, nowadays.
