I can't use the name I planned for a new used bookstore I was going to start! I was looking through a list of bookstore names and they're all terrible! It's a general bookstore with a bit more focus on non-fiction. Help me come up with a name!

studies (my own observation) show that the most successful business are named after men. i guess you must need a strong ego at the helm. something to instil confidence in the consumer. marks and spencers, barnes and noble, john lewis etc

OP here, well right now we're thinking Bibliocracy but generally we find people are too stupid to:
Get the name, they think we're a some kind of bible store
Its hard to remember, people think 'Bibliocrazy' 'Bibliocity' and 'Biblio-city'. Also we're in Canada, maybe a Canadian theme?
