How to choose a business name
- Easy to say and spell. If people cannot spell it after hearing it once, they will not find you online.
- Says something about you – what you do, who you serve or the feeling you want – without boxing you in if you grow.
- Short. Two or three words, ideally under 20 characters, works best on invoices, signs and social profiles.
- Available. Check your country's company register, the trademark database, a matching domain and social handles before you commit.
- Distinct from competitors in your area, so customers do not confuse you.

Frequently asked questions
Are the business names free to use?
The ideas are free to use, but AI does not check whether a name is already registered or trademarked. Always search your country's business register and trademark database before you use a name.
Can I get slogans too?
Yes. The AI suggests a short slogan for each name. Use them as a starting point and adapt them to your voice.
How do I check if a business name is taken?
Search your state or national company register, the trademark office (for example the USPTO in the US or the UK IPO), domain registrars and the main social networks.
Does the generator work without AI?
Yes. Mix names without AI combines your keywords with style words instantly, even when the daily AI allowance is used up.
