My thinking has evolved away from geographically based names... yes I know that trademarks, DBAs and so forth are registered by political jurisdiction which currently means geography, but the Internet is erasing geography, and I think that we would be living in the past if we relied too much on geography in naming. It might make sense for "joes-garage" to be a geographically-qualified domain since the market for automobile repair is likely to be within a few miles of the business, but my little one-man consulting corporation is located in Salt Lake City with it's biggest customer in St. Louis. For a business with essentially no geographic barriers, such as mine, it doesn't make much sense to include geography in the name regardless of where the corporation is registered.
