Brainstorming Tips for Creating a Name:Any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party and/or may be trademarked so I wanted to go a different route...Here s a few things to keep in mind:1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind. 2) The more unique distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray? Specific brainstorming tips:Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON T want. If you don t want a 3-word name, don t bother with those. If you don t want non-English words, don t bother with those so on and so forth.What are the types of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.js�� �C Click Search Marks: USPTO �C Preliminary Search of Federal trademarkshttp://www.statelocalgov.net/50states-se�� --Go to your state s Secretary of State page to see if they have a searchable database of business nameshttp://www.hoovers.com/free/ http://www.thomasnet.com �C Must register (free) to search their databasehttp://www.nameboy.com �C Domain name searchhttp://yellowpages.superpages.com/yp.adv�� �C National yellow pages; leave location blank to search nationwide However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what s out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free a great place to start, so I d try them out first. This entails searching the pending registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. Hope that helps! I wish you much success happiness in all your ventures!

You can t.............Non-profit means you DO NOT make a PROFIT (aka money). Maybe you should take them to a consignment shop. They will sell the clothes for you and give you a percentage. Or sell them on e-bay. You could always give some of the profit to a charity, if you want to help the needy.
