50 brand name ideas + domain availability + trademark check.
You can't ship without a name. The domain is sitting in someone's cart, the deck needs a title slide, and the logo brief is blocked on three letters. ChatGPT gives you 50 mediocre suggestions that all sound like fintech startups from 2019. This tool takes what your thing actually does, what it isn't, and the vibe you want (clinical, playful, weird, founder-led), then generates 25 names across naming patterns — invented words, real-word recompositions, compound names, founder-style. Each one comes with a domain-availability heuristic, a one-line rationale, and a check against the obvious trademark traps (don't name your CRM 'Salesly'). Built for founders who need to stop bikeshedding and commit by Friday.
Brief used: “Building a tool that helps freelance video editors send polished proposals faster. Currently using Notion templates. Want something that sounds modern but not cold, ideally evokes speed or smoothness. Hate names ending in -ly or -ify. Need .com if possible. Calling it 'EditProposals' right now and it's killing me.”
## Top 5 Shortlist 1. **Reel** — single English word, evokes video + a 'pitch reel'. .com almost certainly taken; .reel or getreel.com viable. Risk: generic, hard to trademark in video category. 2. **Cutloop** — compound, suggests the edit cycle. Likely .com available. Sounds like a product, not a service. 3. **Proposel** — invented (proposal + reel). Memorable, ownable, .com likely free. 4. **Framepitch** — compound, literal: every frame is a pitch. .com plausible. Good for SEO. 5. **Sendreel** — verb + noun, action-oriented. .com likely available. Sounds like a tool you use, not a company you work for. ## Invented (5) Proposel, Veloreel, Pitchix, Quotara, Frameo ## Recomposed real words (5) Reel, Crate, Pitchwork, Sendoff, Loop ## Compound (5) Cutloop, Framepitch, Sendreel, Reelbrief, Cutpitch ## Founder-led (5) Montero, Aldermann, Kestrel Edits, Pier Studio, Norvell ## Names I'd skip (5 you might've considered) Editly, Proposify (taken), QuickPitch (taken), EditFlow, Reelify — all -ly/-ify violations or already a real product. **Quick gut check:** if you're selling to editors who care about craft, lean Reel / Cutloop / Montero. If you're selling speed-of-send, lean Sendreel / Framepitch.
Static example — your run uses Claude live on your specific brief.
Indie hackers about to buy a domain, solo founders prepping a deck, agencies naming a new productized service, anyone who has spent more than two days on a name. Not for: enterprises with legal teams who need full trademark clearance (this is a starting point, not a USPTO search), or anyone attached to a name that 'tested well' with their cousin.
A pack of 25 candidate names organized into four patterns: invented (Vercel, Stripe-style), recomposed real words (Notion, Linear), compound (Mailchimp, Loom), and founder-led (Basecamp, Tally). Each name includes: pronunciation guide if needed, a one-sentence rationale tying it to your positioning, a domain hint (.com likely / unlikely / .ai/.io fallback), and the obvious red flags (sounds like competitor X, trademark risk in category Y). Plus a shortlist of the top 5 with reasons. No 'AI-generated word salad' — every name is screened against generic startup-name patterns.
You found a .com you can almost afford but the name is mid. Paste your one-liner, get 25 alternatives with availability hints, and stop refreshing Namecheap.
Your agency is launching 'SEO-as-a-Service' and it can't be called that. Get 25 names that sound like a product, not a deliverable.
You're presenting to a friendly angel Tuesday and the title slide says 'Project Hummingbird'. Generate a shortlist you can commit to before the meeting.
Your internal tool is becoming a real product and the codename is embarrassing. Get options that match your actual positioning.
No — it screens against obvious category collisions (don't name a CRM 'Salesly') and flags names that pattern-match existing products, but it is not a USPTO search. For anything you're betting the company on, run a real trademark check before you print t-shirts.
It gives a heuristic — common English words and short invented words trend 'unlikely .com', longer compounds and invented combinations trend 'likely available'. It does not hit a live registrar API. Check Namecheap or Porkbun before you fall in love.
100 names is paralysis. 25 is enough to see the patterns, kill the ones that don't fit, and commit. Most founders pick from the top 5 shortlist anyway.
Yes — refine the brief (add what you want, what you've already rejected) and run again. The more specific the input, the less generic the output.
ChatGPT will give you 50 names that mostly sound the same. This tool forces variety across naming patterns and screens out the generic '-ly / -ify / -able' tail. You'll still want to use ChatGPT for follow-up riffs once you have a direction.
