Arme in French literally means weapon.
"armer" is a verb that would be the translation to "arm" the English verb in the sense of giving someone a weapon.
Armement, the noun for the action of giving weapons, can be used figuratively but still is more commonly used for military meaning. Same thing for "arme".

One coming to my mind is Tremplin, literally a springboard, often used for useful resources, help, diploma, etc, that will help you get further in life
I'm also thinking of Atout (trump card, advantage, asset), Sésame (open sesame), or Essor (rise, flight, blossom)

The adjective "armé" can work, it means "prepared", it comes from the military meaning however is used to mean really ready/prepared

But for a name, that's a bit strange

[vocal olive]

Would it be strange because it’s not being used with correct grammar? Or is it the tense?

[stoic prism]

"Armé Ballet Studio" it sounds strange

How would you name your studio with "armé"?

[celest forge]

french adjectives just work poorly as names, unlike English

[stoic prism]

Yeah

It's true

[vocal olive]

So far, that’s all I’ve got.😅 Does it sound better if the word order is changed?

[celest forge]

I have a question
are you looking for [name including ballet] + studio, or [name] + ballet studio

[stoic prism]

I think

It Will Always sound unfinished

"Le studio de ballet armé"

For exemple

[vocal olive]

Both examples would work, because the predominantly English speaking audience would see “studio” or “ballet” and understand what the business name means.

[stoic prism]

That will be a bit strange

[celest forge]

the reason I'm asking this is because you're using two languages: English and French
and the [name] part should all be a single language, so if you're going for a French name the whole name has to stay consistent, hence word order can change if you wanna use an adjective for instance

in any case if I see "Arme ballet studio", as a native, the name causes me to first think of a gun or a sword, same for probably any variation of the word "arme"

[vocal olive]

Is [name including ballet] + studio
More agreeable to French syntax?

(Thank you both btw! This information is so valuable to me!🙏🏻❤️)

[celest forge]

both work! it mostly depends on your templating!
I was asking that because based on what you want, the naming could change (word order or preposition).

[vocal olive]

Is it better to use a noun or a verb?

[stoic prism]

The best thing to do is trying

[stoic prism]

Probably a noun

[celest forge]

Most common are nouns, but verbs are a valid possibility albeit rare

[stoic prism]

J'apprends l'équivalent anglais de nos noms pour les classes et natures grammaticales c'est parfait

[celest forge]

I gave some ideas in my [first post](#1389751325952180388 message)
They might not be to your fancy, but probably best not to try to force a French name if you're unsure

[vocal olive]

Yes, I’ll look into those! Thank you so much!🥰

[stoic prism]

Have a nice day, i will sleep 😅

[celest forge]

I know nothing about ballet!
interesting to hear some of the vocabulary is French, there are a few disciplines where this is the case
