Choose still images or animation
Animation suggests movement and production services beyond a single illustration. Keep cartoon or illustration visible if clients commission still artwork rather than animated sequences.

Make the name fit
Decisions to make before you choose
Let the buyer recognize the use
Editorial commentary, greeting cards and commercial characters have different tones. Choose an identity that fits the main commission type while leaving reasonable room for related work.
Build an original character identity
A familiar character reference may feel memorable but can confuse buyers about affiliation. Use your own imagery and language rather than borrowing recognition from another creator’s work.
Try the artwork credit
Place the name beside a small published cartoon and a formal commission proposal. It should identify the artist or service clearly without overwhelming the client’s message.
Give the tool useful detail

From ideas to a shortlist
Check the names you like
- Say it out loud. Ask someone to spell the name after hearing it. Check that it still describes the business you plan to grow.
- Compare the domain. Generate ideas above, review the domain results, and choose a domain to check on GoDaddy. Status and prices can change; confirm them before buying.
- Check business names separately. Search for similar businesses and trademarks, and check your state’s business-name records before committing.
Generating a name does not register or reserve it. A domain result does not establish business-name or trademark clearance.
Common questions
Should I use cartoons or illustration?
Cartoons signals a particular visual approach. Illustration is broader and may fit if your portfolio includes work beyond cartoons.
Can a cartoon service name be serious?
Yes, particularly for editorial or business clients. The portfolio can demonstrate humor while the business name remains restrained.
Is caricature too narrow?
It is if most work is not exaggerated portraits. Keep caricature as a service line when the broader business creates many kinds of cartoons.
