Welp.

I need some help. My family has acquired 3 new businesses, and one of them is in desperate need of a new name.

How would you go about naming it? I'm not creative in the slightest when it comes to chit like this. If I had a name or something to go off of, my brother (who is wildly creative/artistic) could design something. I'm giving him absolutely nothing to go off of though.

I don't even know where to get started. Think Alaska. Think a business similar to a Newport News type thing. And fkk, I don't know.

A real prize to the person who gives the name we end up selecting.

See. That's the problem.

Artistic talent? No problem. My brother could design a logo for anything. But when you have nothing to go off of, what do you do?

Wait, so what does this business actually do? Why are they in desperate need for a new name?

My family just took the plunge and bought a family business (3 businesses, small corporate structure). One of the three businesses needs a new name.

Think along these lines:

And because right now the sign says "AIRPORT GIFTS" or something stupid and unattractive.

This is serious.

There is something to be earned here! I'll make it worth your while if my family picks the name you suggested (general you).
