Cohousing-L Mailing List: re: Group name, Project name, Domain name

[Karen Schwalbe (kschwalbe]

Alchemy Farm (Falmouth, Mass) incorporated under the name Cape Cohousing.  It
wasn't until we were well into the design process that we came up with our
permanent community name of Alchemy Farm.  The name Cape Cohousing has stuck
though.  It is hard to get rid of, and takes some explanation to clarify, since
it's the name we did business as for years.

I have to agree with your view that it is confusing to have more than one
name.   In your case it sounds like the group has a stronger connection to
Lawrence Cohousing than we had to Cape Cohousing.  For us, it wasn't our
identity, just our business name.   In the long run, you will probably be known
by the project name/location, so it would be clearer to start from there.
