what's the best name for your own company?

Recently we have been thinking so hard for a name of our very first company (honestly when I had the first kid, I didn't even feel so struggled). we want a catchy but not a cheesy name -at the same time it should be obviously meaningful but not so shallow...... we are going to do cross culture training, market strategy consulting, Asian political and economic environment analysis, and business talents exchange programs. So it's business oriented, focused on Asia-US communication. It shouldn't be that difficult, right? why am I so struggled??? any ideas???

I named mine by thinking deeply (AKA with wine!) about what I was trying to accomplish, and what drove me to do it. I wrote down words that resonated with what I was thinking about, then used a dictionary and thesaurus to generate a shortlist. Several rounds of feedback from family and friends, and google searches for existing businesses that were too close in name, finally got me to Fundamental Capabilities (www.fundamentalcapabilities.com )

Forbes had a great article about naming your business a few years ago. I found it online here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/allbusiness/2016/10/23/12-tips-for-naming-your-startup-business/#7acdfbd2904e It includes several websites that help generate a name. Good luck!
