We're looking for a name for our new big damn theatre at 111 Grace Street in downtown WIlmington, NC. I've been told by our marketing gurus that "The Big Damn Theatre" isn't a good idea, so now I'm turning to, you, my friends for help.

We're going against the grain with our new pub and theatre, rejecting the all to common sports bar motif. We're also staying away from the posh atmosphere of a martini lounge. Instead we're going for something that appeals more to our core audience. Theatre and film geeks...or just plain geeks in general...a sci-fi leaning, movie inspired fun place to hang out an have a beer while watching a play or film.

We've narrowed our name choices down to the following three. Please feel free to comment and toss them around to your friends. We really do need help with this very important decision.

1. The Brown Coat Pub & Theatre

2. The Blue Sun Pub & Theatre

3. Kobol

Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

It sounds like you're going to have more than just Firefly going on there, so I might try to do something that sounds a bit more sci-fi. "Browncoat" is awesome, but it doesn't exactly scream "Sci-Fi." Maybe "Browncoat Stardock" or something like that. That would attract fans from Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate (notice a "Star" theme in those names?), and even help introduce them to the 'verse.

A very solid concern and one our real estate attorney is looking into.

Also, for right now, that's why we're focusing on "The Brown Coat Pub & THeatre" rather than "The Browncoat Pub & Theatre". A little space can make a big difference in copyright issues. Or so our attorney says.

My biggest concern is wonderign how Mr. Whedon might react if we go this route. My worst nightmare would be to do something that offended him or the other creators or somehow stepped on their toes.

Folks seem to think the Brown Coat sounds either classy or militant and the Blue Sun sounds "hippie" or fun.

And if Joss or anyone from the show ever did pop in, drinks are on the house.
