zVera.com -- zVera or z Vera

zVera.com -- zVera

"ZVera" would make a great name for a product line or website. The root word "Vera" is a girl's name, from a Russian word meaning "faith."

On its own, "Zvera" could be a variant of "Vera."

One caveat: there is a yearly festival in Latvia called "Zvera Fest," so if you plan to use this name for a festival (especially in Europe), you might want to consult with a trademark attorney before purchasing this name. The domain names Zvera.lv and Zverafest.lv (.lv being the country code for Latvia) are registered but (as of August 26, 2013) inactive. It is unknown if the domain owners are connected with the festival.

The festival organizers seem to be using social media (Facebook and Twitter) to promote the annual festival, but the Facebook and Twitter sites we found were outdated.

Also, "zVera" is not quite a radio-friendly term; the announcer would have to pronounce the "Z" in a distinct manner: "Z-ver-a-dot-com." In essence, this is primarily a visual term: internet, TV, and print media.

Despite the festival connection, "Zvera" and its variants do not appear on the USPTO.gov data base, which suggests that the festival is limited to a specific region.

Zylvia.com -- Zylvia

Zylvia.com (with bees) -- Zylvia

So we think of the famous (and doomed) poet Sylvia Plath, also the beekeeper's daughter and one who was obsessive with the metaphor of bees, hence, the bees in the first logo.

Aside from the literary connection, “Zylvia” is a quintessential company name: short, memorable, appealing, and with a somewhat familiar feel to it.

This is also a variant of  “Sylvia,” a girl's name.

“Zylvia” was not found in the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases. However, there are two live trademarks on “Sylvia” (a comic strip) and “Sylvia's” (seasonings, sauces, and barbecue sauces) and several where “Sylvia” is part of the mark. We tell you this because “Zylvia” might be viewed as a typo of “Sylvia” (“Z” is close to “S” on the keyboard), particularly if your product is the same or similar to one of the established live marks. For legal information on trademark law, consult with an attorney.
