I am planning on starting an "etsy-like" shop, although I might not use etsy to host it. Anyway one of the tasks on my list of things to accomplish in order to get the ball rolling is to come up with a fantastically great name, or at least one I will like to use years down the road from now, just in case my shop really takes off.
In my search for "the" perfect name I came across some articles and helpful resources that made me a bit more optimistic, and even a bit giddy about starting this task.
How to Pick the Perfect Brand Name: A great article that talks about how one brand/product naming company goes about finding the perfect "home-run" names, with great examples. Great inspiration.

How to Name Any Brand: A few more tips on how to get started, and some "Do's and Don'ts" as well.
Now since this will be an online shop, and it's pretty hard to find any business that doesn't have a web presence in this age, you'll need to pick a name that will lend itself to becoming a good domain name as well. Since a lot of domain names are already taken.
How to Name Your Domain: Gives you some tips on how to get around already staked domain names the right way, and a few things you shouldn't do when coming up with your domain name.
