The root word of "ZeQuest" is "Quest," a highly charged word that refers to a hero's obsession to find, via an arduous journey filled with danger, obstacles, and tests, something or someone important:

In mythology and literature, a quest, a journey towards a goal, serves as a plot device and (frequently) as a symbol. Quests appear in the folklore of every nation and also figure prominently in non-national cultures. In literature, the objects of quests require great exertion on the part of the hero, and the overcoming of many obstacles, typically including much travel. The aspect of travel also allows the storyteller to showcase exotic locations and cultures (an objective of the narrator, not of the character) (Wikipedia).

"ZeQuest" suggests video games or series of products having to do with a hero's search/quest for the "Holy Grail." Other uses for this term are possible, but this use is most obvious to us.

No trademarks were found on the term "ZeQuest" or "Ze Quest" on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases. However, a trademark was found for SeQuest for "computer software for performing biomolecular analysis by analyzing data from mass spectrometers." We disclose this information because ZeQuest, depending on usage, may be considered a typo of SeQuest; "Z" and "S" are near each other on the qwerty keyboard. If you avoid product confusion with the SeQuest mark, you should be okay. For more information, consult with a trademark lawyer.

"ZenFair" or "Zen Fair" is a brandable term, created by a marriage of two generic words, much like "Facebook."

We envision a Zen Fair as an event that emphasizes the sale of crystals, rocks, gems, and minerals. Such a fair could also draw in customers who are seeking a more contemplative life and providers, such as Fortune Tellers and Tarot Readers, who are offering services that will help customers find their inner peace and life direction.

This could also be a developed website offering the above through a virtual store.

The terms "ZenFair" and "Zen Fair" were not found in the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases.

"ZestSet" or "Zest Set" suggests a busy and popular hair salon or a chain of hair salons, offering the perfect branding for the discerning business owner.

Also, "Zest Set" rhymes with "Jet Set," suggesting a high-end, yet flirty, salon.

Of course, the buyer is not limited to this type of business; the logo reflects an open-ended theme.

No trademarks were found on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases for the terms ZestSet or Zest Set. Moreover, a quick search on Google did not reveal any hair salons doing business under either of these terms.

_________________

"Zestina" is a play on the word "Sestina," which is a 39-line non-rhyming (typically) poem with a specific form consisting of 6 6-line stanzas and 1 3-line stanza called the envoy. In each stanza, the end-words are repeated and arranged in the following form: 

1 2 3 4 5 6
6 1 5 2 4 3
3 6 4 1 2 5
5 3 2 6 1 4
4 5 1 3 6 2
2 4 6 5 3 1
1 2
3 4
5 6

For the envoy, there is some debate regarding how the end-words should be arranged--one text* says that 5 3, 1 2, 4 6 should be followed--but others often disagree and cite the repetition of the first stanza as the gold standard. And, then, poets (who generally follow their own muse) often have their own ideas as to how the overall form will play out in their own poems (poetic license).

"Zestina" could be a comprehensive poetry site dedicated to the tricky Sestina. Unfortunately, there is little profit in such heady and literary sites--such a site would have to be a labor of love, and, unfortunately, we cannot sell at "labor of love" costs.

However, the term itself suggests a colorful and lively website, perhaps in the tech department. Who doesn't like a zesty website with literary overtones? There is no law that says the owner must use this as a poetry site.

Perhaps the owner could develop a poetry word tumbler, or if you are especially talented in coding, a sestina tumbler: the user plugs in six words, desired order for envoy, and parameters regarding use of each word (for example, use as a root word), and Voila! A computer-generated sestina!

As of 8/3/2013, according to USPTO.gov, there is a dead/abandoned trademark on "Zequin" for an ophthalmic pharmaceutical medicine for the treatment of conjunctivitis, so if you plan to use this term for a pharmaceutical product, you may want to consult with a Trademark lawyer before purchasing.

The CEO of Brands Z grew up in Sioux City, Iowa; as a child, she and her friends often lovingly referred to Sioux City as "Zoo City" or "Zoo Zity," so the term has been kid-tested for appeal, memorability, and cuteness. Also, the double "Z" offers a catchy buzziness that kids tend to love.

A Sioux City start-up business could do very well with this name because of its catchy rhyme to the city name and overall regional appeal. 

"ZooZity" would be perfect for a children's retail store, product line, or service: clothing, games, toys, shoes, daycare center, and kid-themed restaurant (where giddy kids can find a meetup place filled with other giddy kids, fun foods, playground equipment, party events, and games).

A caution, however: if you plan to open a pet store, you should be aware that there is a ZooZity pet store in Denmark, doing business under what is known as an unregistered or "natural" trademark. In that case, you should definitely check with a trademark lawyer regarding regional use of a non-generic term or find another name for your pet store. If you are located or doing business in Denmark, you should probably look for another name.

Good news for everyone else, though: As of 7/28/2013, ZooZity and Zoo Zity do not appear in in the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases, so you would likely be okay for most uses. If you are not certain, check with a trademark lawyer before purchasing.

____________________________ 

“Zobiot” is a possible generic term for a product of robiotic manufacturing, the inevitable fusion between robotics and biology. 

“Zobiot” or “Zobiots” could be a brand name for a manufacturer of robiots, fused robot and bio devices working together to improve our lives: health (a nanobot carrying life-saving organic substances to targeted organs), miniature food supply scrubbers, weight loss and maintenance (Imagine an organic nanobot that could limit the number of calories your body uses each day), self-repairing partly-organic cars and other fused machinery -- you name it: fused organics and robots will be a part of everyday life.

Futuristic? Maybe.

But the future is nearer than you might think, and sophisticated "robiots"/"zobiots" are surely already being manufactured, if only in beta.

Therefore, the buyer can purchase one or both domains, selecting the best one for the company or brand name and redirecting the other domain to its main site.
