Kalon Management

Held names

Ordinary words, in the right order.

We keep names a customer could guess: what the business does, sometimes where. There is no public list. Ask about one and you get a yes or a no.

Four kinds

What the crew does

Roofing, paving, well drilling, fire sprinklers, commercial refrigeration. The service in the words a customer would use to look for it.

What is grown and packed

Growers, packers, nurseries, irrigation and farm supply. Names built on the crop or the equipment, as the trade says them.

What is moved

Freight, drayage, cold storage, equipment hauling. Names that state the load or the lane without a slogan attached.

Where it happens

A service joined to a city, a county or a valley. Useful to a regional company that wants the map in its address.

What makes a name worth keeping

It is .com

The ending people type when they are not told otherwise.

It is spelled the usual way

No dropped vowels, no digits standing in for words, no hyphens.

It is short enough for a door panel

Two or three words. If it needs a line break on a truck, it is too long.

It describes, and does not imitate

The words are common terms for a trade or a place. None is another company's brand.

What we leave alone

  • Names built on someone's trademark, or a misspelling of one.
  • Names of people.
  • Names that only work as a joke.
  • Endings other than .com.

If you believe a name we hold is rightfully yours, say so on the contact page. That gets read first.

Why there is no list

A list invites browsing, and browsing is not how these names find their owner. Each one suits a handful of companies at most. It is quicker for us to go to them than to wait for them to come here.

If you have a particular address in mind, send it. If it is kept here, you get the price. If it is not, you are told so, and that is all the reply contains.

Have a name in mind?

Put the address in the first field of the form. A yes comes with a price. A no comes without a pitch.
