Get brandable startup names from a few keywords, with a live check of whether the .com is free, so you don't fall for a name you can't own.
How to use the Startup name generator
- Enter a few words that describe the product or the feeling you want.
- Generate names: blends, short coinages and real-word combinations.
- Check the .com status and shortlist the ones that are free.
What makes a name work
Short, easy to say out loud and easy to spell after hearing it once. Avoid hyphens and numbers, and names that are too close to an existing product in your space.
After you pick one
Check the trademark database in your main market, grab the matching social handles, and make sure the name isn't a word with an unfortunate meaning in another language your customers speak.
Reading the availability check
Pick an extension (.com, .io, .co, .app, .dev or .ai) and check the first 12 names. A green "available" means the registry has no record, so the name is unregistered. A crossed-out domain is taken. No label means the registry didn't answer, so check it at a registrar. Unregistered doesn't always mean cheap: some short names are reserved as premium and priced higher. Shuffle for a new batch; the names are built from your own words, so changing one keyword changes the whole list.
When the results feel generic
Use concrete words: what the product does, a feeling, a metaphor. Abstract words like "smart" or "solution" make bland blends. Try two or three words rather than one, so the generator has parts to combine. If every .com is taken, try the .app or .dev check, or a short prefix like get- or try- in front of your favourite.
