The nappyneedz name

The blog challenge post for today is about our business name, where did the nappyneedz name come from?

Early name

When it comes to cloth nappies, there are heaps of business names out there, and I wanted to come up with something great.  To begin with I played about with the idea of ‘little ducks’ as a name.  Partly, because in the part of the world I come from Duck, or little duck is a term of affection.  It seemed to follow that seeing as these were for babies, and something that got wet, it might be a good name for the business.  Except, when I looked into it a bit more, I found that quite a few people had used the name before.

Nappyneedz name

I started to try and think of a name that reflected the business; somewhere that provided cloth nappying needs for New Zealand.  Nappying needs? Nappy needs? But that didn’t really reflect New Zealand at all, Suddenly it came to me, New Zealand is also often referred to as NZ, so if I incorporated that into the name: NappyneedZ. It almost works as one of those picture puzzles; offering nappy needs within New Zealand; NappyneedZ.

After a few fairly rubbish attempts at a logo myself, I got my brother (who is far more talented in that area) on the case. He soon came up the nappy needz logo, with the little baby sleeping on the nappyneedz name, I’ve loved it since I first saw it.

So there you go, the story behind the nappyneedz name.
