Help requested: Looking for a name for my poker room (2 Viewers)

I fed these options into ChatGPT and asked it for new names, with extra points for puns and alliteration. Most of them were garbage. But these are pretty good:

Oaks and Aces
Flagstone Flush Lounge
The Acorn Ante Chamber
Big House Bluff
The Lucky Leaf

I haven't gotten on board with ChatGPT yet, so I never even thought to put it to work on this.

The Lucky Leaf has legs I think. Lots of possibilities there for graphics, and it fits the mold of not needing "poker room" or anything else behind it, which I really like. The Lucky Leaf Lounge/Lodge would triple down on the alliteration, but is it too much?

The one that had me stumped for a while was Oaks and Aces. It sounded like it wanted to be something, but it wasn't explaining itself well. (This is why ChatGPT won't run a marketing department on its own anytime soon) Because Oak 'n Aces is a WAY better play on words, and I'm feeling it! It's more modern than I thought I'd go, so I'm still really wary of jumping in head first, but the gears are turning!

In my head, "Oaks & Aces" will look better design wise, could be fun!
 
So, it's the definition of rough, but here's a super quick mock up of what's in my head for an Oak n' Aces (or Oak and Aces) logo. I still don't know what I'm going to go with yet, but this is the first visual I've been interested in that has sprung to mind. I kinda like the idea of either the aces or the leaves be on fire or smoldering to play into the smoking aces pun

I still don't think it'll find it's way onto chips, but definitely cut cards, table felt and I'm thinking some kind of signage, like a big bar mirror. There a local guy that does really great work, and I think it'd be perfect for this. This guy is what I had in mind as I've been mulling this over. It lends itself to an old school style that doesn't feel modern enough for Oak n' Aces

Honest feedback: this is giving me phallic vibes. I don't think that's what you're going for. But I do like the combo of an oak leaf and the spade, even if spade does not equal "ace." There is some symmetry in the shapes. Have you considered overlaying a spade on a leaf or vice versa.

I like this. Or maybe just "The Oak and Stone." Sounds like an Irish pub I'd want to spend a few hours in.
 
Akcnowledging that all living things have a finite life, you could go with "FALLEN OAK", reminiscent of the ancient Greek proverb "once an oak has fallen, just every-fuckin-body can get firewood"

A great Greek wine-maker in Greek Macedonia has named one of his top wines like this:

If you were in California, I could have come up with profane names like "Hacienda de Putas" etc :) :)

Ah...that reminds me of another ancient Greek proverb: "Never trust a coyote trying to sell you a bottle of wine."
 
Two (or Three) Oaks could even be a more optimistic and naive theme.
Without the emotional drama of the fallen one.
Edit: Hell, even Four, Five, Six or Seven :)

I put a few prompts into Firefly, Adobe's AI image generator, to try and get an "Oaks and Aces" vibe. Here are some interesting takes.

I like some elements of these a lot. The Spade embedded in a leaf is a neat visual. If I were to do just a spade, I would want it to look more like a kem ace of spades, or something along those lines to more clearly signal ace rather than spade. I was just being lazy :LOL: :laugh:

It might be cool to do 3 images embedded that could tell you the name without saying it. A club inside a (fancy) spade inside an oak leaf. Oak and Ace Club
