I like Hammered Mettle the best so far.

I have no fear of some Pookah coming and giving me a wild ride in to Sidhe exile. The Sidhe know their own, and I am sure there would be room at their table for me. :grin:

If you've no objection to a name in Dwarvish, I'll check in the appendicies of Lord of the Rings and see if I can come up with something.

The problem is with the LoTR stuff, the general public doesn't always know how to speak it or say it. Which can be bad. But it is a source of good ideas.

Funny, that's what I thought about Sidhe. I don't know what it is or how to pronounce it. Company names should be easy to say and easy to remember.

Celtic mettle (actually the name of an album by Loretto Reid).

what about including the word Celtic? I know it's often used, but it sends a clear message as to the style of your work (if indeed that doea describe it).

I find that odd with your fae logo. Sidhe, pronounced Shee, are the faerie folk of Celtic lore. :-D

How about Skelly Sumph's Silverworks? Taken from a recent forum post. It struck me as being both clever, funny, and even memorable.

Input?

I used to do this sort of thing before I went to Seminary, so take this for what it's worth. I could probably write an epistle on why, but here it is...

The best one I've seen so far is Dreadbelly Metalworks.

It says who YOU are, what your business does or is about, is short and different enough to be memorable.

I did logos and brand ID for years. You would be hard pressed to improve on that. The logo, of course, is important, but you were asking for the name.

That's my two cents.
