Since almost the day we started my consulting company I’ve been wanting to change the name as I haven’t truly been happy with it. Personally I am enamored with the idea of running a company with a name like Architel or Everon, and want to change my name to something similar.

I believe we may have found the name that is owned by someone in Australia that is basically letting the domain stagnate. Hopefully he’ll see my offer as a valid one and in a few weeks we may be doing business under a new name. We don’t have a huge budget for the name change, but hopefully the owner will see that since he is doing nothing with the domain, he’ll be willing to part with it for what I believe was a reasonable offer.

Has anyone out there ever changed their business name to something new and in the process purchased a domain from another person? This is something new to me and something I’d be interested in hearing more about peoples experiences.
