Choose for the work you do
Choosing a pub name
Make the short form work
Regulars may shorten a two-part name to its most memorable word. Try that version before deciding, and check whether it becomes indistinguishable from another nearby pub.
Sketch the hanging sign
Choose one simple image that represents the candidate. If it only works as a long text explanation, consider a name with a clearer visual anchor.
A mismatch to avoid
Check for nearby pubs with similar animal or landmark names.
