How the generators work

There are 15 generators here and between them they use 2,691 words that were chosen by hand for one trade each. A bakery name is not built from the same words as a cleaning company name.

  1. Pick the generator for your trade. Each one has its own words and patterns.
  2. Set the filters: a style, how many words, the longest name you can fit on a sign, a first letter, or a keyword to include.
  3. Press Generate for 20 names. Each name shows the pattern behind it.
  4. Heart the ones you like and lock a word to keep it while the rest changes. Copy all or download your favourites as a text file.

Questions

Do I need an account or an email address?

No. There is no sign-up. Your favourites are saved in your own browser and never sent anywhere.

Are the names checked for availability?

No. A generator cannot know what is registered or trademarked where you live. Use the checks on each page: your local business register, a web and maps search, the trademark register of your country and the domain and social handles you need.

Why do the same names appear if I use the same seed?

The generators are seeded. The example names on each page were made with a fixed seed so they are the same for everyone. Each press of Generate uses a new random seed, so you get a fresh batch.

Can I use a name I find here?

You can use any idea you like, but you are the one who has to make sure nobody else already holds it. We do not claim rights over the names and we give no guarantee that they are free to use.
