Indie Game Company Names?
Author
I don't have a game development team and I don't know if I need a name for my company. I could use my name but, I thought of a name for a company and I don't know if its good. The name I thought of is "dumbfounded"

Hmmm...not sure if younger audiences will ridicule the word "dumb" in your company name.

Dumbfounded is greatly astonished and amazed. I want my audience to be dumbfounded when they play my games. And I don't think anyone will introduce me as 'the dumbfounded guy'.

The name of your studio is usually either emblematic, unrelated, or describing the attributes of the studio (and its games). Epic Games make epic games. Codemasters are masters of code.
Calling your studio "Dumbfounded" says "We are dumbfounded" not "You will be dumbfounded."
You could maybe add a prefix ('Be Dumbfounded'?) but it probably wouldn't have the same ring to it as you expect.
Of course, you're free to call your studio whatever you like.
Have you tried using other words that have a similar meaning or are in some way related to it?
Thunderstruck is pretty awesome.
Other words that have some form of relation to it are:
Stupified
Perplexing
Confused
Awestruck
Perplexed
Speechless
Surprised
Amazed
Amazement
Ingenious
Genius

They definitely will.
edit: I think the problem is that dumbfounded has a negative connotation. There are some ones with positive connotations in your list, but they all sound really generic to me.
I kinda like the "dumbfounded" name (stylistically uncapitalized, too, just like that) because it implies a certain amount of humbleness and self-depreciation that I find more more appealing in indie devs than blustering self-confidence...
...but it sounds like that's not actually what you're going for. Also, you would definitely forever be "the dumbfounded guy."

Thanks for commenting and sorry for not replying, my topic isn't on the game design forum. And that's kinda what I was going for. I don't want all capital letters. And I really don't want to be "The Dumbfounded Guy"... I want my audience to be dumbfounded.
