How to pick the right name

Pick the bread first

Bagel, rye, brioche and baguette all bring their own puns. Choose the bread you actually bake or sell, then find the pun that fits it.

Say it on the phone

A bakery name gets said out loud all day. If you have to spell the pun for every caller, choose a simpler one like Breadquarters or Life of Rye.

Check the neighborhood

Before printing a sign, search your state's business records and local listings to make sure no nearby bakery already uses the name.

Match the tone to the use

Celebrity puns get big laughs at a bake sale or on a team shirt. A storefront name should still sound appetizing in five years.
