KISS

Short and memorable is better

Avoid using "solutions", "systems" or "services" if you can - there's thousands of us already.

Choose English words which are easy to remember and spell. If you have to use a makey-up-y name then try to make it phenetically pleasing as much as possible.

I have no problem with words such as Solutions or Services used in the name as long as it's relevant to the business. It gives a professional gloss.

You might also want to consider choosing a name that begins with A, B or C

Thanks for the advice.

I was thinking of having the word "media" in the name.

It depends what your business is focusing on. If it's a design/development house then media and studios is a good option.

Not just the yellow pages. A lot of things list companies alphabetically

add "damain name availability" to that?? :P

I'm sure as long as your name gives some (even vague) indication of what you're about, it will be good. You can't do worse than 0001-Media-Systems-Solutions.info ...
