AI Business Name Generator
Twelve name ideas in a style you choose, each with what it suggests, plus the five checks that actually decide whether you can use one.
This tool needs JavaScript: a model suggests the names; the checks that decide are listed.
One sentence: what it does and for whom. The more specific, the less generic the names.
Plain says what you do and is underrated. Invented words are memorable and cost more to explain.
This is one of the few tools here that asks the server rather than your browser, because a browser cannot do it. Nothing you put in is stored; the request is rate limited by address and the answer is not cached.
Twelve names in the style you choose, each with a few words on what it suggests, and then the five checks that actually decide whether you can use one. The list is the easy part; the checks are the job.
How to use
Describe the business in a sentence — what it does and for whom — and pick a style. Plain names say what you do and are underrated. Invented words are memorable and cost more to explain, for years.
Example
The business A workshop that repairs and sells refurbished espresso
machines, for cafés and for people at home.
Style plain and descriptive, the kind of name that says what the
business does
1. The Espresso Workshop — says exactly what it is
2. Second Pull — a coffee term, and a second life

Before you fall in love with one
the domain check it at a registrar, not here: availability changes by the minute
the register check the companies register in your country for something confusingly similar
trade marks search the trade mark register for your classes
say it aloud on a phone call, to somebody who has not seen it written
other languages a quick search for the word in the languages of anywhere you might sellPitfalls
Nothing here checks availability. Not the domain, not the register, not the trade mark. Any generator that shows you a green tick next to a domain is selling you one.
A free domain is not a free name. A name can be available as a domain and already registered as a trade mark in your class, which is the one that stops you trading.
Say it on the phone. “Is that with a K?” every single time is a tax you pay forever. So is a name nobody can spell after hearing it.
Check the other languages. A word that is fine in English and unfortunate in German is a problem the day you sell in Germany, and renaming later costs more than choosing again now.
Descriptive names are underrated and hard to protect. “The Espresso Workshop” tells people what you do and cannot be trade marked easily. Invented names are the opposite. Both are reasonable; pick knowingly.
Do not use a near-miss of a large company. It is the fastest route to a letter from their lawyers, and the model is told to avoid it rather than being able to check.
This spends the site owner’s money. Each list is a model call, capped daily and monthly, with the cost printed at the bottom.
Compatibility
One model call, with the style written into the prompt and printed with the result. The model is told to avoid hyphens, numbers, trademarked terms and obvious near-misses of large companies, and to say in a few words what each name suggests, which is the part that makes a list useful rather than long.
Cost is counted from the tokens the provider reports, against a monthly ceiling the site owner sets. The key stays on the server.
Nothing is stored: not the description, not the names.
