Can Kibkomers help me out with a name? Been wrecking my brains. Need something catchy that is not currently being used.
Shop will be like Starbucks, Costas, Neros, Gloria Jeans etc...
Suggestions would be much appreciated.

'the Green Line' ???
'Soner to go';???
'coffee kioufi' or 'Kioufi Coffee' (I think that has a real ring to it.
'Kioufi Kibris Coffee'
The One Stop C offee Shop
The one Stop Kioufi Coffee
Can't think of anything else - no that's not a title, but a comment by me.

Agree Marions, KIOUFI'S COFFEES has a good ring.
OR
KIBCOM COFFEE, or simply, SONERS.

Thanks , keep 'em coming please, but I think best keep Kibkom, Kioufi and Kibris out of the name.
Like Kaff-inn and One Stop Coffee Shop so far.

Soner, how about just calling it ''THE coffee shop''?, it's easy to remember, and that's a step in the right direction
for a new business.

Need something snappy, doesn't have to relate to coffee.
Like Razzlebury's or Viva Village
Shop not snapped up yet, need to negotiate, but will be very near to East Croydon Station with outside seating for at least 40. Know type of business is competitive, but that's good, keeps you on your toes to do better.

Why keep out the Kibris/Koufi/Kibkom? Scared of racism? Serious question this.
however, if you are registering the business then obvioulsy it has to be a name not used elsewhere, which does add that other dimension.
If there are any jobs going , happy to come over, although my days of waitressing were mainly confined to Uni and aberyswyth, but I could make a good barista!

No not scared of anything. Just want something catchy, most people in UK would not be able to pronounce Kioufi or Kibris.
Name has to be unique so need to check with Companies House to make sure it is not registered already.

Hi Soner, I googled 'Soner' for an english translation and it came out as Flash. So it could be Flash, or coffee in a flash, Flash and dash (if catching a train). Or I suppose harp back on Flash Gordon, which would be a blast from the past.

Zarafet, translation of Soner is actually "Last Boy" or Last Soldier".
But I like the "BLAST" in your Flash post.

Many moons ago, my wife and her friend (who was half Italian) were going to open a coffee/sandwich shop before ill health took over, here are some of the ideas they had:
Ciao (Means 'Hi')
Capiamo .... (Means 'We understand....' , implying that they understood coffee and understood what the customer wants)
Bel Caffe (Means 'The Coffee House')
Can't remember the others!

Poshin devon is quite correct Papachinos (as I have spelt it here) is a registered Pizza franchise in South Africa.

Never realised Papa Cheenos was already a name taken.... For me it sounds just like a pizza/Italian place. Not sure adding Coffee on the end really helps with the snappiness - if you get where I am coming from.
For me it either has to be a snappy easily remembered single word - as Soner has said or maybe a memorable word associated or linked in some way to coffee.
Think I have a blank now... Will post if I have any inspiration
Good luck Soner.

Barista's I like but already taken.
Also, like Bel Caffe.
Papa Cheeno's is spelt differently to the Pizza franchise. I just thought it sounds very similar to Cappuccino's. My brain cell is close to dying....but still time to come up with something.
Thanks again everyone.

You are going to end up with a big headache here - are you going to include Celan's name in this? Cos you could have Capocelan's
Or what baout Barista Baba's
Now do you have anything that is sending an echo to your soul, or to anyone' elses.
