What's In a Name?

Where did I come up with the name "Blackberry Bramble"? 
     I wanted a really cute and fun name for my business, and called on a beloved children's book I used to read to my son.  Jamberry by Bruce Degen is a delightful rhyming read-aloud depicting the rollicking adventures of a boy and a bear through all types of wonderful berries, including a blackberry bramble.
     Blackberry Bramble . . . b.b.b.b . . . I love the alliteration, the flow, and the fanciful sound of it.  I hope it brings to mind warm, sweet berries on a lazy summer afternoon - What do you think?


Did it have anything, and I mean anything, to do with a certain cell phone line named after a berry? 
     Absolutely, positively, and definitely NOT. I never even thought about a connection between the two, until I tried to register the domain for my e-shop.  Turns out, I had to go through a verification process, to make sure I wasn't trying to somehow glom onto their reputation.  However, I do not mind in the least if you access my blog or website via your "Blackberry", as I have a non-discrimination policy! :)
