How it works
Describe what your business does and who it serves. The more specific you are about your offering and your target customer, the more relevant the name suggestions.
Select the vibe that reflects your brand personality. A legal services firm and an indie coffee shop might both want "professional" names — but the specific character of professional differs enormously.
You get a primary name recommendation with a full rationale, four additional alternatives with brief notes on each, domain availability guidance, and common naming pitfalls for your category.
Practical example
For example, a sustainable activewear brand targeting urban professionals might get "Verdure" as the primary suggestion (earthy, aspirational, distinctive, available as .com) with alternatives like "Terract", "Canopy Co.", "Greenform", and "Apex Wild" — each with a note on tone and positioning.
The note might flag that the name you love might already be trademarked in your category — and provide a checklist of the trademark and domain checks to run before committing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a business name is available?
Three checks matter most: domain availability (use Namecheap or GoDaddy), trademark registration (check your national trademark database — in the UK: UKIPO, in the US: USPTO), and social media handle availability. Do all three before investing in branding. A name that looks perfect but is trademarked in your category can create expensive legal problems.
Is a shorter or longer name better?
Shorter names are generally easier to remember, type, and say out loud — which matters for word-of-mouth and branded search. One to two syllables is often cited as the ideal. However, a distinctive longer name can work well (particularly in professional services). The question is not length in isolation — it is whether the name is memorable and easy to reference in conversation.
What makes a business name great vs just good?
Great names are distinctive (not generic), memorable (not complex), pronounceable (no guessing), and meaningful (they say something true about the brand). Names that combine two of these well are good; names that nail all four are excellent. Avoid names that could belong to any company in your category — "TechSolutions" tells no story.
Should I name my business after myself?
Founder-named businesses work well in professional services (consulting, law, design) where personal reputation is the product. They make exits and pivots harder, and they tie the brand closely to a specific person — which can be a strength or a limitation. For product businesses, a brand name (rather than a founder name) usually scales better.
