Thoughts on new name ?

Not exactly going to come up first in the phonebook (not sure if this is a problem in this day and age to be fair). Think Aaron A. Aaronson!

But my 0-325 electrical comes earlier in an alphabetical list and so possibly would α-Ω electrical :smug:

If Murray Electrical is common perhaps use your first name as well Jonathan Murray Electrical. I agree with the other responses, I think using your name is the best thing to do. Rather than thinking about what you think sounds good think about what the customer would like to see/hear. 'Ultima'... I guess it sounds ok, it wouldn't put me off using you and if you became huge it may well go in your favour, but as a customer I would probably ring Jonathan Murray Electrical first and if I couldn't get hold of them i'd ring Ultima.

Obviously just having a guess at your first name, but you get the idea. Maybe have a rethink if you're called 'Jesus'!

Corrected that for you then you would be near the top of the listings...

It's alright, but it's not really "something different". If you want "something different" try to think outside of the usual 'this that and the other electrical'.

Ultima Electrical. Nice ring to it. You might find you'll get calls to fix hotpoints ultima washing machines!
I used to work for a firm called clear channel. Was always asked (when stopped at red traffic lights) to fix TV aerials/install new points, the company was outdoor media maintenance!
