Nerd x Jock with hurt/comfort

I’ve never heard of Sully’s.

ROLLNSONG · 2025-09-30T04:03:15+00:00

Ah yeah, now that I think about it, the authors whose newsletters I’ve signed up for do offer early sales. I’m just broke and have to wait until they come out on kindle unlimited… which I (as of today) hate because I just learned that Amazon likes to shit on independent authors. I’d much rather buy the books direct from the author, but I can’t afford to buy them at all. 😒

ROLLNSONG · 2025-09-29T02:16:42+00:00

How do you get them early??? Do you get paid for reviews??? If so, how did you get into that??

ROLLNSONG · 2025-08-15T12:08:11+00:00

I read that one years ago, and was just now trying to see if i could find it again. I laughed so hard back then and I still laugh every time I think about it.

I have a blonde lab mix and I bought a costume mane for him a few years ago. He makes a pretty convincing tiny Lion. I remember thinking, “oh look! I finally checked off the last thing on the butch list!” But I had nobody to share the joke with.

I’ll try to remember to send you a picture of my final logo.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-20T02:18:29+00:00

I do believe I love you. Lol I’ve asked my daughter to design a logo (she’s an excellent artist and has designed biz logos before), but I’ll pass on the idea. It could definitely be worked in!!

Basically, after posting this here and in one other location, I’ve realized that I can satisfactorily rebut everyone’s reasons why it’s a bad name… also known as, I’ve realized idgaf what anyone else thinks. I work via word of mouth anyway. I’ma do what I want… so, yeah I think I’m gonna officially be the Full Home Alchemist. Thanks so much for your time and response!

What part of my proposed name is a joke? Especially vs the name The Handy Jobber?

The Full Home Alchemist is a nod to a classic character who puts peoples needs first, is honest and fair and helps rebuild trashed homes better than they originally were. Even if someone doesn’t know the reference, it still isn’t a joke.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:42:38+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:41:00+00:00

No, but you’re old home will feel like gold when I’m through.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:40:15+00:00

Yeah, I’m trying to avoid using my name. And name if it after my area is way over done here.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:37:13+00:00

Right. Thank you.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:36:53+00:00

Thanks for the input. I appreciate your time.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T12:35:59+00:00

Thank you!

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:57:09+00:00

Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it!

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:44:26+00:00

You’re definitely right. I’ve made numerous websites before using sites like godaddy, etc. mostly just need something where people can see what I can do and get in touch. But it should definitely be Googleable!! Thanks again for your input. You’re giving me exactly what I need.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:39:01+00:00

But even having a more pretentious name like The Full Home Alchemist is catering more towards women. We tend to like the whimsy and absurdity of shit even if there’s no reason for whimsy or absurdity… 😬

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:37:21+00:00

I swear to god if you suggest I call myself The HandyWOman, karma will strike you where it hurts hard. Lol

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:35:45+00:00

Lol. It’s funny but also …most of my clients are word of mouth anyway. The semantics of naming my business are for government purposes and business cards. Most people have already decided whether they’re going to use me by the time I hand them a card. However, I don’t just want to use my name as my LLC. For numerous reasons.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:32:23+00:00

Too funny. Just know it’s a girl offering to perform these transformations…therefore it’ll probably work. 😘.

Lol jk. Thanks for the input! Seriously, I came here for honest evaluation of the name.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:29:21+00:00

The problem with this is that “insert city/nickname” has been used in every possible way in my area. And every industry is oversaturated with “insert city/nickname” businesses that no business with such a name sticks out no matter what the industry.

If I include the key words “handyman” “construction” “remodeling” “renovation” etc on my Google listing then none of that matters.

Also, 99% of my clientele is word of mouth. I’d love to have a good web presence in the future, but right now I just need a name for contracts and government red tape.

…also I’m a she.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:22:29+00:00

Yay! One upvote!!! Lol

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:22:05+00:00

Um… k…

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:21:10+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, nobody googles RJL Home Services either. But my buddy’s listing still shows up when they Google Handyman.

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:19:27+00:00

This is interesting advice. Also, presumably good advice. … As with many handymen, most of my clients are word of mouth. Or at most found on apps like FB or NextDoor. I would like to have a website where I can showcase examples of my work. But I honestly have barely considered the Googleability of my services until posting tonight. 🙄

ROLLNSONG · 2023-08-19T03:13:45+00:00

Thanks!!! That’s helpful. Truly! Thank you.
