Tips for Choosing a Startup Name

Keep it short — 2-3 syllables are ideal for memorability

Make it easy to spell — Avoid unusual spellings people can't guess

Check social media — Ensure the name is available on major platforms

Say it out loud — It should sound good spoken aloud

Think globally — Check that it doesn't have negative meanings in other languages

Future-proof it — Don't limit yourself with overly specific names

Frequently Asked Questions

How does domain checking work?

We query Google's public DNS API to check if a .com domain resolves. If it doesn't, the domain is likely available for registration.

Are the generated names trademarked?

AI-generated names are original suggestions, but you should always do a trademark search before committing to a name.

Can I generate more names?

Yes! Click Generate again to get a fresh batch of 30 new names. Each generation is unique.

Why only .com domains?

.com remains the most trusted and recognized TLD. You can manually check other TLDs on domain registrars.

Is the domain check accurate?

DNS checks are highly accurate for detecting registered domains. However, a domain that appears available might be reserved or premium-priced. Always verify on a registrar.
