My suggestion would be to focus the name on the service itself, not the cycling aspect.

Along this same line of thinking, (and without getting too much into salesmanship), consider who the purchaser of your services will be. Is it an attorney, is it an office manager, is it on a per package basis, or do you hope to become the sole provider of this type of service to your clients.

These are all things to consider. As mentioned, does the purchaser (the person making the decision to go with you or someone else) care that you are a bike messenger, or that you're fast, or that you're reliable, or whatever the primary dimension of competition is? How can you use your brand to differentiate?

Having a sense of humor is good, as long as you do the leg work to develop the brand and your service stands on its own. But if your clients are serious people, consider that a funny or tongue in cheek name might turn them off.

I had thought another sort of funny name, Messenger Pigeon Messengers ... but it is a little redundant... and maybe the humble messenger pigeon does not inspire good feelings like Blue Bird Messengers.

Years ago i was visiting a musician friend in the hospital. I overheard two older ladies mentioning "Uncle Ed's ear" and that became the name of our next band.

I now bequeath the name to you for your new endeavor.

My first job was as a messenger one day a week in college. I worked for Breakaway Courier System - I just googled it, and the logo looks the same but it used to be way downtown on Varick Street, not in midtown. Anyhow, 'Breakaway Messengers' or something like that would be my recommendation.

No need to train clients to remember the word, which is a plus

Im thankful for all suggestions and or any inspiration.

A local messenger company here has almost lost all his biz because of digitized 'stuff', instead of hard copy 'stuff'..He has had to resort to food and serving warrants and notices to appear(yikes)..is there a strong demand for hard copy delivery in Sweden?
