Our mystery naming
That’s a typical conversation:
- “Send me an e-mail to barbara@ebavs.net”
- “What?”
- “Yes. EBAVS”
- “EVAVS?”
- “No, I spell it: E from España, B from Barcelona, A from Alicante, V from Valencia and S from Salamanca”

EBAVS
What’s this? Why EBAVS?
People write as EVABS, EBAUS, IBABS….but never EBAVS.
We think that we have a serious problem with our naming: a name so obscure that customers never know what it means.
But, 18 years ago we created this naming thinking to do something that we loved, coding and the internet but never in business…
EBAVS was a contraction between Bárbara and Víctor, Víctor and Bárbara.

- E: In that ancient epoch, the “E” (Email, Ebusiness) was COOL as the “I” nowadays (iPhone, Ipad), so we thought that the E was a great decision.
- BAVS: We used the diminutive of BARBARA in English: BABS, and mixed it with the acronym of VICTOR SANTACREU: VS. Tadaaaa!
Also, we used dieresis on the ä, meaning two brains thinking (so creative ahh), but of course in 2000 the URLs could have signs (THANKS INTERNET!)
Imagine:
- “Send me an e-mail to barbara@ebävs.net”
- “What?”
- “Yes. EBÄVS”
- “EVAVS?”
- “No, I spell it: E de España, B de Barcelona, A de Alicante width dieresis, V de Valencia y S de Salamanca”
Actually, we think about change EBAVS to something more legible, but you know what?
If we write EBAVS on Google we have no competitors and the first pages are us. (Google suggest Ebay also..) The site, the images, the social networks…
We love EBAVS and the meaning.
We are weird and special and we want to continue spelling our name. Know more about us on interviews of EBAVS.
