What are we calling our IKEA store?

Yes, it’s no secret our furniture store will be inspired by the real-world IKEA stores.

Obviously, we need a name, as IKEA is trademarked.

As the title says, what is your suggestion for the name of our furniture chain-store?

Here’s a screenshot of the layout of the building. Obviously, we have adopted the labyrinth layout :sunglasses:

It needs to be something short and catchy.

My first thought is

Furnish!

If you want to get cute, you could offer a free fern (decorative plant) with each purchase and call it

Fernish!

I know it is silly, but maybe some others will have better ideas :wink:

I agree, it should be short and KNUT is a great idea.
Maybe also MALM or AEKI would be a good name.

Will it also have a Hot Dog sales station at the exit? :smile:

In Euro Truck Simulator 2 they’ve used IDEA.
Otherwise I like AEKI from @Kaboozt , or maybe KNUT from @Gerwanese

Another silly one:

EZAM (maze backward).

I think the big question is: do you want the name to be an obvious IKEA reference, or will the store layout do that sufficiently and the name can be more clever and less restricted to a spoof?

This is interesting. There might be something clever in using the same name.

We are already using some blue and yellow colors, so I think we can go pretty broad.

If you go that route, the store’s delivery service should be “Furnishing Movers!”

I’m also now having a horrible image of assembling a dresser in-game with 50 random parts.

Be interesting to add a name generator with option for player enter name for stores.

Is this the idea for the wholesale furniture store?

for a few thoughts…

Just continue the way you did with the brands in SC recognisable parody’s.

I think something like “Furni & Co” or “Wayside Furniture” would be pretty cool. I admit having a parody of IKEA would be pretty funny, but this game is so immersive (right up to a point where you need to queue in a cash register) that a parody name might not be the most appropriate fit for immersion purposes.
