Well as some may know I run a stall in Ojaveda. I am once again thinking about changing the name of my nice stall and I don't know what sounds better.
Gwestav's Armory (I sell more than just Armory)
Gwestav's Weaponry (I sell more than just weaponry)
Gwestav's Blades and more (a bit long)
Gwestav's Warlock Equipment (to long)
Gwestavs Warehouse (to cheap)
Gwestav's and Co (a little OOC)
Gwestav's Ltd (a little OOC)
Gwestav and sons (a bit weird)
Gwestavs (sounds like McDonalds :P)
Please post blow your vote or if you have any ideas (be sensible).

you do realize that armory can have more than armor. some of the definitions of armory are
a collection of resources
a military depot used for the storage of weapons and ammunition
all the weapons and equipment that a country has

Gwestav's Depot
-
Gwestav's Metal
or
Gwestav's MetalWorks
Because metal is such an inclusive word, and has a second meaning of the basic character of a person, also spelled mettle.
According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009:
"metal" can include all forms of elements that ' usually have a shiny surface,... and can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wires.
Typical metals form salts with nonmetals, basic oxides with oxygen, and alloys with one another.'
'Metal' can include:
Broken stones used for surfaces, Molten glass, Molten cast iron, and alloys. It can refer to heraldry gold and silver, the weight of naval projectiles, and bookmaking printers type.
[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin metallum, from Greek metallon, mine, ore, metal.]
Word History: In modern English, metal and mettle are pronounced the same, and they are in fact all related. Middle English borrowed metal from Old French in the 14th century; Old French metal, metail, came from Latin metallum, from Greek metallon, "mine, quarry, ore, metal." By the 16th century, metal had also come to mean "the stuff one is made of, one's character," but there was no difference in spelling between the literal and figurative senses until about 1700, when the spelling mettle, originally just a variant of metal, was fixed for the sense "fortitude." The history of English has numerous examples of pairs of words, like metal and mettle, that are (historically speaking) spelling variants of the same word; two other such pairs are trump/triumph and through/thorough."
{that was all from various dictionary entries for metal. I like words... :/ }
and MetalWorks because of it's double meaning- it implies that the product is sound, it 'works'. It implies strength, solidity, dependability. Good marketing words, even in a dark ages fantasy land.

Lol @ Maisents!
Hmmm...
Khoridor you have some good ones, other than Gwestav's Finest... well nice name but I sell Valuable and Rare items (looted) not 300Q weapons so I don't think that fits criteria.
I like Gwestav's Bazar sounds good.
Lol Roled I don't think I will like to explain that to every customer.
@ Lollo whats a Depot?
Sarva I know that is my original name but it sounds... weird. I think I might change it to just Gwestav's. Just short and simple one word name :)
