It always seemed to me that when it came time to start a business, the name would be the smallest problem. It turned out that the name that you yourself like to come up with is damn difficult! I understand that this is a rather stupid question, but I have a fantasy stupor, and habra-questions have already helped me several times with great advice, so the attempt is not torture.

In general, the studio will do the following:

Software development and maintenance
Training and provision of contract programmers
Development of user documentation and educational media materials (primarily video)
IT consulting
Creation of audio and video materials, podcasts, screencasts.
In the near future: research and development in the field of distributed computing and cloud technologies.
In the near future: teaching languages and programming technologies, online courses/lectures.
+ generally moving towards higher education, working with students, mediating between companies and universities, preparing students for adequate practice

Friends suggested not to worry and call themselves "Fritonic Studio", but to me, who is used to my nickname, such a name seems strange ... and it is not clear whether this is an accusative or nominative case ...

In general, if the description of the activity caused you some kind of association - please , unsubscribe.

Thank you!

I'm almost certain (95%) that you'll end up with the name Fritonic Studio.
Firstly, the name is not at all strange, I would say it is “fresh” and people will really remember it (especially the second word and they will be able to find you by it).
Secondly, you can set the case yourself. Studio Fritonika is the nominative case, and Studio Fritonika is the accusative. In addition, I think, it is not the case that is important for your customers, but the services and their quality.
Thirdly, the name, which does not contain a dictionary word in the semantic part (sorry), gives scope for visual promotion. In particular, this applies to corporate characters. Needed for "students" - they drew Fritonika in sneakers ... for scientists - in glasses -)) etc. It's much easier to associate a character with a name than just blah blah blah soft.
Further, with the growth and development with such an "unattached" name, departments can be easily distinguished. Studio Fritonika, Fritonika-soft, Fritonika-consulting, etc. You don't get hung up on stamps and labels.
You can write a lot in general. And finally:
friTONICS in morphological analysis contains a part of the word "electronics", which in turn, especially in unprepared minds, to a certain extent is in harmony with:
...Software development and maintenance, Training and provision of contract programmers, Development of user documentation and educational media -materials (first of all video), IT consulting...
and further on your list.
Here is my opinion. I am convinced that the names should not be associated with the type of activity. At least I never do it myself.

Rahim, here's what I did.
Wrote out words from the associative series. The list turned out like this: multimedia, it, education, programs, software, study, united, merge, -cast, computing, calculations.
So far, the idea for the name came up like this: " Prostudio " (pro - because programming and something advanced, studio - because the studio) or " Prostudy " (programming + education / training, and also playing a scale with the Russian "cold", and also with the word “simple / simple” :) )
And yes, both domains in com are occupied, but you can add something at the beginning or end for the web address, like, for example, 37 signals - they added “hq”.
If these 2 options do not work, I’ll think again in the morning when I wake up.

@Peretyaka, it is desirable that the name be read and sound equally acceptable in three languages - English, Russian, Kazakh.

Call it what friends say! :)
"Fritonic"
free tonic
free - freedom
tonic - tonic - refreshing drink
Well, it sounds, after all, soft.
