Company Name Dilemma

I am in the process of applying for my bookkeepers licence and want to start to provide bookkeeping services on the side of my full time job.
Thinking of a company name is harder then it seems and something I don’t just want to conjure up and regret later down the line.
Is using my personal name followed by AATQB and a sub heading of ‘Bookkeeping and Accounting Services’, still seen as a professional image as having a company name? So on a business card say, it would be:
Joe Bloggs AATQB
Bookkeeping and Accounting Services
Any feedback or opinions would be much appreciated.

Unless you have a brilliant idea for a catchy name, your own name and surname is a safe option. This is what I did anyway...

Thanks for you advice.
I'll be adding all the services available under the bookkeeping licence except Payroll, as in my current finance job, this is a role I haven't had to get involved in.
Do you have suggestions on how to gain experience on a service to enable to add it to your licence?0 -
I have used a mentor in the past to supervise my work. Maybe this is something you could look into?0

So I could offer the service with no experience but having a mentor will allow me to add it to my licence?1
