Default Business/product naming? help

OK, as some of you know, I'm trying to make/sell some things marine related. Just starting right now, but hopefully it will expand. Now, I was wondering if I should make a product name? You know, like Bandit-Marine? Would that brand name turn you off buying a product? I started my Powder Coating business mainly for the Custom Automotive field. I have passion for Trans Am's and Smokey and the Bandit, so that's how I came up with the name Bandit Powdercoat. Just not sure of it would work well for the reef division?

I'd Love to hear some suggestions for a company/brand name if you have any. Even offer some free goods if I use your name.

My loving wife, Reena came up with Scuba Dan.

Ohh if anyone is good with Photoshop etc, what about my Bandit head logo morphed with a Regal tang, or Clown for a company logo?

it really depends on what type of product your selling if its just a company name and it is marine related thats one thing if it is the name of the product thats another. my company name lockmaster security was bought when i took over the business but i happen to like it. so i kept it.

is your product a powdercoated product... if so bandits aquatic powdercoating and design is long but reasonable its part of you and what you do. just be true to yourself.

Ya products won't be powdercoated, but more like gadjets and gizmo's, supplies. etc. The 2 things I have on the go right now are the Automatic Fan Speed Control and a RO safe electric solenoid valve.
Who knows I may even make skimmers down the road. I do have the tools here, so name can't just be services or product specific.

Nothing wrong with Banditmarine, it doesn't specify anything in particular so you can add product as you dream it up.
