We are looking to re brand a game studio.Now we have already reduced our list of 40 odd potential names down to five, but would very much appreciate getting the communities feedback before pulling the trigger. Our priorities in order of importance are.
1-The new name is catchy
2-The new name is professional
3-The new name is “fun”
The options we have narrowed it down to are
Forging New Realities
Begin Again Interactive
Feet First Entertainment
QBit Productions
Installation Interactive

If you do vote, we would welcome discussion regarding why you picked the name you did. Alternatively, we are also open to new suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance for your time.
I don’t like any of these. They’re all too long, and not catchy whatsoever. QBit Productions is the only one thats semi decent. Sorry if i’m being harsh, its just an opinion.
I voted Feet First Entertainment, because I didn’t understand QBit Productions and the other three are not “catchy”.
Begin Again Interactive and Installation Interaction feel like slight tongue twisters, and Forging New Realities just doesn’t sound like a game studio at all.
If there was some context behind what QBit was referring to and why it’s a good name for your studio, then it’s a fairly short catchy one too - but without any information at all, Feet First Entertainment is the only one I could go for.
While I personally voted for Qbit productions for it’s professionalism appeal , feet first entertainment is the most memorable by how meme-able the term is. I won’t bother going NSFW however the logic behind my theory is self explanatory.
Go with feet for a fun, catchy appeal or Qbit if you would prefer to have your studio maintain a professional appeal. While a name is a nice touch, what matters the most is the logo’s design, content your studio aims to create.
I still don’t really see the link to Roblox games. If you’re going for a computing term in the name, I’d pick one that is quite relevant, otherwise I’d branch off and go along the “feet first entertainment” route as I think it makes most sense and will stick in people’s minds a bit better.
Most of your players won’t know that much about computing, so I’d keep it simple
I feel like there’s more logo options with feet first too.
I agree with @SchwarzWalde. The most semi decent is QBit Productions. It isn’t too bad, quite long but good enough and is a pretty good name for production groups (shirts, t shirts, pants, games and gamepasses).
I’m sorry, but, they are all bad. They don’t fit your criteria at all and no one is going to get inside jokes except for your team as you are the ones who came up with the name (referring to QBit).
I don’t know if the boys at top have considered this or it’s just such names didn’t make it through, but you’re going to want to expand your choices by trying not to force some studio word in there (Studio, Production, Entertainment, Interactive, Games, …). Perhaps you might find something better fitting that doesn’t use a generic finisher. Regardless though, the focus is still the first part of the name, since that’ll probably be the most memorable in any publisher title.
Now, the grit of it. They’re all far too long and they miss the criteria you’ve outlined. I don’t know if your game studio is focused on a certain type of game or if it’s an all-rounder so that makes directed feedback difficult, but I can do a quick review on all your names. To address all the names altogether though: what do you define as professional? Any name can be considered professional because it’s in a formal environment. I could call my studio “Three Idiots” to represent a team of three developers and that’s still professional to me.
Forging New Realities: I have no clue what this is. I’ll just be screaming “FNR! FNR!” whenever I want to talk about your studio. It’s far from catchy, it’s not fun at all and it generally seems distant as a studio name. Do you know the feeling where you know something’s wrong but can’t articulate yourself well enough to put that feeling into words? That’s what I get with this title.
Begin Again Interactive: Same title as above, just with different words. Criticism does not change; still a feels-wrong name.
Feet First Entertainment: I have no clue where this came from but it doesn’t even sound like a game studio in my perspective. It’s not fun to read and it doesn’t have that ring to it; that special ring that you know you’ve made the right decision in selection a name. What was the goal behind choosing this name for initial selection and the rationale for selecting it among the final 5? Name’s no good.
QBit Productions: I pretty much summed up my complaint/criticism about this name in the first bit of my post. QBit alone sounds fine. Yeah there’s still the inside joke so it contradicts my statement but QBit as itself sounds like a memorable name. Not quite as fun as it sounds and it’s not catchy, but it’s the lesser of five evils.
Installation Interactive: Understandable why this has the lowest votes. Just read the name. I love creativity and being constructive so that I’m not just criticising things without valid reason, but this name is just terrible. How’d it make it into the top 5? What were your other 40? There’s gotta be more than three that were infinitely better choices.
Pull up the drawing board. Time to crank out another 40 more, or don’t. I just post here.
I picked Feet First Entertainment because it is easy to recall and it is a catchy and fun looking one. QBit Productions looks catchy and easy to recall, but Feet First is a more fun name than QBit.
