Scientific research company names

[Dominatus]

I have a project in my entrapraneurship class and I could really use some creative assistance. I am "founding" a private research company in the Silicon Valley area, CA. Basically, like Portal's Aperture Science minus the mad science factor. All kinds of research will be performed depending on the contract the company is given.

So here's the challenge... What in the heck do I name it?? I can't for the life of me come up with a clever, creative, cool-sounding name that is also original. So I am coming here for ideas. Aperture, ascendant, all sorts of companies in the real world and in worlds of fiction exist. I want a name that sounds cool and clever while having a futuristic sort of name that inspires a feeling of hope for the future of science. I realize this is not directly related to the science thread but I figured if anyone could provide me with some neat and original-sounding terms based on real science that it would be all of you fine ladies and gents. Thank you!

Open up any graduate textbook. Go to the index. Start reading until you find something catchy. Worked for Valve.

Maybe try playing with the word 'Aspirant'? See if it sticks to something you like?

Silicon Valley is done. Austin, North Carolina, San Diego. The whole central California thing is a big disaster waiting to happen.

Can you tell me what the legal implications are for using names of businesses that already exist?

I KNOW I've encountered multiple businesses that use the same name, so is it illegal or does it depend on the industry?

Generally I have arrived at the conclusion that it's IMPOSSIBLE to be original anymore. Trying to come up with an original name for something is like trying to take a hike in the woods without trespassing on someone's property.
