Good luck with it all! [ Edited by: msteeln 2008-03-26 06:27 ]
BB Bongo Bungalow Member Indiana Joined: Aug 20, 2007 Posts: 1295	BB Bongo Bungalow Posted posted on Wed, Mar 26, 2008 3:20 PM There are too many great name ideas! Some considerations in such matters: For one, the desired degree of sophistication, then there's the the cute factor, the authenticity factor, the "first read" element by the public within the particular culture, there's the consideration of competitor's names, second meanings and just-how-clever-can-you-stand-to-be, and on and on. AND after all this the owner decides to name the place after his daughter! (It happens!) [ Edited by: Bongo Bungalow 2008-03-26 15:21 ]

O Ojaitimo Member Joined: Aug 04, 2006 Posts: 1317	O Ojaitimo Posted posted on Fri, Mar 28, 2008 9:57 AM Good luck with your new island bar. How about the Cheeky Tiki for a drink because I have the perfect name for your island bar. Kiribati island. This island was the first one to sink beneath the ocean about 10 years ago. Followed by Vanuatu and the rest are gone or going. Lohachara island, Sagar island and Ghoramara. You might want to talk with SOK over at Yo Yo Island, they sink and rise from the ocean every day.

Anyway in the end the name chosen was...... ....Shangri-La Thankyou LynnMcTiki, PM me your details and we'll send yousomething cool from CheekyTiki. The name was chosen for it's link to the Kinks which creates a good back story and the fact people here should understand/ be able to pronounce it etc. Again thanks to everyone, trader Jim if you would like to continue this thread for your own pleasure with more of your suggestions, you are welcome

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sat, Mar 29, 2008 9:19 AM Ray Davies should be happy! It is kind of a pre-Tiki, 1930s/40s term, but it will probably ring a bell in Europe more than its Tiki equivalent, Bali Hai. I have a nice Swizzle stick design for it already :): Look at that detail! Will anyone remember the original? Too "dated"!

Well done to the winner. Looking forward to the opening of this new edition to the world of britiki. I did get a sneaky peek at the space and at the designs. Some great touches and features, can't say anymore...

Our computer has been down since Friday so I just found out about this today. Thank you CheekyTiki for the opportunity to take part in this! I’m really excited to find out that that I helped name a Tiki bar and as a Kinks fan I’m happy to hear that the new bar will still have a connection to the band. Hope to be able to visit Shangri-La someday and check it out. Cheers!
