| | | Help Needed With a Name
I need to come up with a name for My Wildlife Education centre before the 26th of April. So I really need some suggestions from WAB members 
It needs to be short, catchy, and wildife related, maybe a play on words (see 3)
Here are some ideas
1) Bugs R Us
2) Wildlife Wonderland
3) Woodantitbeefun (Wouldn't It be Fun)
( Wood Ant Tit Bee )
As you can see i am struggling

Well you're in a woodland so what about something relating to acorns...
Or just 'Acorns'
After all from little acorns do great oaks grow. something that might inspire children to think of what they might become while also inspiring the thought that this might be through aquiring knowledge.
It would also look good as an address or on headed paper whereas something like woodland wonderland may sound a bit 'young' to a sulky, hormonal 'I'm a grown up' 13/14 year old.....
after all santa claus hangs out in a 'winter wonderland' right?
Or maybe you only dealing with primary age? |

Hi Kymba
I also like the name ' Wildlife Wonderland' and I've got a couple more suggestions for you to mull over too.
They are:
1) Woodland Wonders
2) Wildlife Wonders
3) Bugs and Slugs
By the way I think you are doing a brilliant job!! and admire both your enthusiasm and gumption!! ....don't suppose you've got some spare have you??  |

Actually I have changed my mind, personally I Like "the sound of "Bugs and Slugs" but it may put a few people off who are not quite at home with all things nature.
Oh I think that is pretty good actually  - how about All Things Nature? |

Cheers Guys Knew i could rely on you
I have made a note in my Notebook of all suggestions you have made so far. But keep them Comming Please
I Like Bugs n Slugs, But the name has to cover all wildlife, and also be relevant for a centre at the Local country Park to. Just incase they do want me to open one there as well ( No Woods there)
When I have quite a few i will list them all on here and see which one you all think is best ( if thats ok with you )
Thanks Monkster I will PM you any I have left at the end when I am up and Running

I think 'Bugs & Slugs' would stir the curiosity of the youngsters in our family.

wildlife matters
nature matters
you'll have to excuse me Ive got a "matters" fixation - when I was a contractor we were conservation matters , while my photography biz is image matters
wildlife fun for everyone
I quite like wildlife wonders - then if you do walks in the country park you could do "wildlife wanders with wildlife wonders"
btw dont use anything R us cos a freind of mine did that and got a legal letter from the local toys r us for brand infringement

If you could use the services of a qualified garden designer with a particular interest in designing for wildlife, let me know. I'm not touting for business - I don't practice professionally - but I'd be happy to help on an expenses-only basis.

Someone else told me about Toys R Us not liking others using the R us in their names
