Business Name Generator

Your business needs a name, and you need inspiration.

TRUiC’s free, AI-powered online Business Name Generator will help you instantly brainstorm hundreds of unique business name ideas.

Generate as many names as you want and use our guide below for business name ideas and best practices.

Step 1: Choose Your Business Name Keywords

Choosing the right keywords to enter into the generator will yield the best results.

Choose keywords that capture your product, service, or mission. Provide at least two keywords in the “Enter Keywords” box. For best results, try three or more.

Consider:

• Your business's main offerings
• The core values of your business
• The emotions you want your name to evoke
• Adjectives that might be associated with your business
• Synonyms
• Double meanings

Adding the city and state to the name generator is an option. Incorporating the city and state into your name can boost your local online presence on Google and Bing searches.

Step 2: Choose Business Name Ideas and Highlight Top Picks

Look for as many creative business names as you need – there’s no search limit. We recommend trying multiple keyword combinations as you generate business names.

Use the heart icon to tag your favorite business names.

Consider each name based on the following:

•  How it aligns with your brand’s mission
•  How easy it is to remember and pronounce
•  Whether it’s catchy and unique
•  How it will resonate with your target audience

Step 3: Select Your Business Name and Register the Domain

Browse your saved list and select the name that resonates most with you and your brand's mission. Remember, this name will represent your business's identity, so make sure to choose one that aligns with your vision and is brandable and marketable.

Then, ask yourself:

• Is the name simple?
• How does it sound when I say it out loud?
• Is the name easy to pronounce and spell, and does the acronym look okay?
• Is my name shorter rather than longer?
• Does the name convey my mission as a business?
• Did I avoid trends?
• Does my name contain obscure words?
• Is my name memorable?

Our generator will perform a domain availability check of the corresponding website address for each selected name. A domain name that is consistent with your business name can be crucial in establishing an online brand for your business.

The domain name for your business is just as crucial as the business name itself. You can future-proof your brand name by registering your website domain name immediately. And you’ll receive a hefty discount through our partnership with GoDaddy when you do.

Personalize by Location and Optimize for Local SEO

It's essential to choose a good business name that is easily searchable and SEO-friendly. 

When potential customers look for your products or services, you want your business to appear in their search results. 

Selecting a name with relevant keywords and high searchability can boost your online visibility and brand awareness. Read our Beginner's Guide to SEO to learn more.

Local Search

If you enter your city and state into the field at the top of the results page, the generator will produce names tailored to your location, incorporating local identifiers to boost your visibility in local search results.

Verify Social Media Handle Availability

You’ll want to secure your name(s) across social media and the web. This guarantees consistent online branding.

Our Brand Name Generator automatically checks whether the domain is available for a website, but you must manually secure your social media handles on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), LinkedIn, YouTube, and Meta's Threads.

Tips for searching social media handles:

• Start with a direct search. Input potential catchy business names on each platform's search bar.
• Embrace minor tweaks. It’s okay to modify the name slightly!
• Confirm cross-platform availability if already taken. This provides brand cohesiveness, laying multiple routes for customers to locate your brand.
• Prioritize uniformity. A consistent brand across platforms boosts recognition and fosters trust.

Consider Your Business's Geographic Reach

Whether you operate at a local, regional, or global level has a bearing on your choice of a name. For a local business, incorporating a city or landmark can resonate with your community. For international businesses, a name that is easy to pronounce across languages is crucial.

Choose a Name That Reflects Your Brand

Your business name should mirror your brand identity. It should embody your business's identity, ethos, and values. A tech company might opt for a modern, sleek name, while a history tour company might choose a name steeped in historical context.

Understand Your Market's Influence on Your Name

The demographics and psychographics of your target market can guide your name choice. A younger, trendier audience might appreciate a quirky, creative name, while a more mature or professional audience might respond to something more traditional, practical, and relevant to their taste.

Step 1. Brainstorm with a Business Name Generator

You’ll need to input good keywords to get the best results when using a business name generator. Consider these best practices for brainstorming keywords:

Analyze Your Business

• Mission & Vision: Understand your purpose and long-term goals.
• Offerings: Identify your main products or services.
• Unique Qualities: Highlight what differentiates your business from competitors.

Consider Your Target Audience

• Demographics: Consider your ideal customers' age, gender, location, etc.
• Preferences: Ponder their interests, values, and needs.

Evoke Emotion

• Determine the feeling you wish to instill in your audience when they hear your business name. For instance, trust, excitement, or warmth.

Explore Industry Terms

• List relevant jargon or phrases associated with your sector.

Think Locally (If Relevant)

• For businesses with a regional focus, use keywords related to your city, state, or region.

Gather Descriptive Adjectives

• Words that embody your business vibe, like "sustainable", "rapid", or "innovative".

Seek Inspiration from Competitors

• Observe naming patterns in your industry for ideas, ensuring you don’t imitate.

Experiment with Synonyms

• Expand your list by finding alternative words with similar meanings.

Set Parameters

• Decide if you want your name to be modern, classic, playful, etc., and choose keywords accordingly.

Step 2: Choose Your Business Name

First and foremost, your business name should align with your mission and resonate with your audience. When deciding on the right business name, here are some questions to ask:

1. Is my name simple?
2. How does the name sound when I say it out loud?
3. Is the name easy to pronounce and spell, and does the acronym look okay?
4. Is my business name shorter rather than longer?
5. Did I include a geographic location in my name? Usually, you shouldn't.
6. What do other people think of the name?
7. How does the name compare to other business names in the industry?
8. Does the name convey my mission as a business?
9. Did I avoid trends?
10. Does my name contain obscure words?
11. Is my name too narrow or too literal?
12. Is my name memorable?

Step 3. Register Your Business Name

You’ll need to secure your business name. There are two main ways to officially register your business name with the state:

• Register a “doing business as” (DBA) name 
• Form an LLC (or corporation)

We suggest that most small businesses form an LLC. They're simple to set up and can shield your personal assets from specific business setbacks and legal claims.

LLC services charge as little as $29 to assist in registering an LLC. Read our review of the best LLC services to learn more.

You can consider registering a DBA name for businesses that are more of a hobby.

You can use our business name generator to generate company names for your LLC, startup, or holding company. Here's a list of brandable company name ideas created with our tool:

What is a company name generator?

A company name generator is essentially the same as a business name generator. It's an online tool designed to assist entrepreneurs in creating potential names for their new businesses.

Is your Business Name Generator free?

Your LLC name should be unique, not in use by another company in your state, and end with an LLC designator. Some words may require permission or not be allowed. See our state naming guidelines articles for more information.
