Dragging My Feet

Remember when I did the contest to name my etsy store and then never announced the winner? Yeah, I do too. I loved your suggestions, but none of them were exactly what I was going for, so I was having a hard time coming up with a winner. Ever since then I've been dragging my feet getting my store started because I just don't know what to call it!
Then, the other day I was telling a friend about my grandmother. I was telling her the story about how after my grandma had her leg amputated at the knee she told us that when she got out of the hospital she was going to open a restaurant and call it Peg Leg Patty's. I love that story because it's one of the last times I remember her being coherent before she passed away. That's when I thought, what if I called my store Peg Leg Patty's? Or Peg Leg Patty's Purses?
So I want your brutally honest opinions. What do you think about that name? Is it too weird or is it just weird enough to be memorable? Is it too piratical? Please leave a comment with what you think. Your opinion really is valuable to me. Even if you're a blogstalker and you don't usually comment, I want to hear from you.

Peg Leg Pattys is cute Kim. I wouldn't add purses to it because I am sure you are going to sell more than just purses.

I love grandma and miss her too. I was just telling david a story from when I was a kid and she was in it..and you were too. It made me think about her all day that day.

Makes me want to cry but I love it;-)

I like Peg Leg Patty's. You could even put something like "In Memory of Grandma..." under the name of your store on the home page in pretty little writing (if Etsy is similar to blogs in having that option?). I agree with Natalee about the purses part.

No biting , no spitting, no hitting, no pinching and then we have Lot's of Love that's what Grandma would say. No matter what name you choose she's very proud of you and loves you very much.
