Coming up with a business name for your brand

现在您已经perfect business idea, the next decision you’ll have to make is choosing a business name reflective of your brand or products. We know that coming up with a name for your business isn’t an easy task, especially with the pressure of making it unique, while also developing the rest of your business from scratch. However, in order to keep your finger on the pulse, you’ll want to take all necessary steps in finding the perfect name to match your business idea.

To get you started and moving in the right direction, consider these three important factors before creating a name for your small business:

  • Your brand:It’s important for your business name to reflect the type of brand, products, or services you’re developing. This will influence how you market and interact with your target audience, and eventually build brand recognition over time.

  • Your market:Analyze similar products, services, or marketing material within your industry, and think about what makes other brands memorable. Then, use that same lens to think about what will make your brand unique and stand out from the others.

  • Searchability:A good business name is memorable and easy to find. As a result, you’ll want to set your sights on naming options that are available, through ourdomain name generator, social media handles, and SEO opportunities to make your business searchable.

How to choose a business name

Shopify’s online store name generator is designed with simplicity and creativity in-mind. When using the shop name generator, you’ll be provided with a ton of potential brandable business names and domains, but finding the name that works for your brand is up to you. Knowing what makes the best name isn’t always easy, but as you go down your list of creative business name ideas, here is how to choose the best one for your brand:

Make your name memorable:回忆你的商业名称客户的能力has a huge impact on how they view your business. From every inch of the marketing funnel, to attracting new customers, and bringing back loyal ones - it’s all linked to how quickly a potential customer remembers your name.

Branding:Your name will be a blueprint for all the decisions you make when developing your brand down the road. Over time your logo, slogan, and value proposition can be changed, but it’s exceedingly hard to change your name without losing some of the strength of your online brand. Choose a name that can evolve with the long term vision for your brand.

Clarity:A simple, clear, and direct name will be far more catchy and easier for customers to recall. If customers don’t understand your brand initially, they’re less likely to remember it later on. Good brand names don’t require too much explanation. While it should be clear, it should also be adaptable to change. Names that are too topical, or directly reference a specific product could box you in later on. Make sure to evaluate your business name idea for company growth potential and entry into adjacent industries.

Uniqueness:Customers won’t remember a brand name if it isn’t distinct. Catchy branding is all about setting yourself apart from your competition and that starts with a cool, unique business name. A unique brand name that grabs a customer’s attention will be remembered later on.

Availability:Last but not least, you need to make sure your brand name isn’t already taken. Setting aside the legal risks, another brand with your name (or something similar) can be confusing for customers and damaging to your online reputation. This is true of your domain name as well. Your domain name should be as memorable as your business name and easy to associate with your brand. When you’ve selected a name, make sure to check for domain availability and claim a workable domain as soon as possible, with the help of our domain name generator.

Finding the best name for your business doesn’t have to be complicated. With Shopify’s brand name generator, we make it easy to know your creative options, while keeping in mind everything else you need to grow your business. Once you’ve discovered how to choose a business name, you’re one step closer to launching your dream brand online.

Monkey’s Uncle

Names based on common phrases tend to be highly memorable and Monkey’s Uncle is no exception, bringing levity and fun to this graphic t-shirt shop based in Pennsylvania. This phrase is often used to express surprise and delight, which is perfect for a store stocking unique t-shirt designs.

“Motivated by our son Brayden, who was diagnosed with autism at age three, we knew we would need flexibility for doctor visits and therapy appointments,” says owner Derrick Morgan. “We combined our love of sports and all things throwback to start our small business dream. Brayden loves all animated movies, and there is a scene in the movie Madagascar where a monkey and penguin are arguing. The penguin says, ‘well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!’ which Brayden would crack up at every time. We thought that would make a cute name for a store, and would prompt people to ask more about it.”

Catchy business names are original, fresh, and memorable. As you brainstorm a name for your brand, consider employing these methods to inject a little fun into it:

  • - Alliterate
  • - Use acronyms
  • - Rhyme
  • - Turn it into a pun
  • - Abbreviate
  • - Use symbolism
  • - Personify your product

A good business name should not be too specific. This is to avoid getting pigeonholed to a category and limiting yourself when expanding to adjacent products or sectors in the future.

It should be easy to pronounce. You don’t want target audience and potential customers fumbling over your store name, or having trouble finding your domain name in search.

Most importantly, make sure it is still available. However catchy your new business name may be, it’s a no-go if it’s already been registered and trademarked.


Your business name should encapsulate your brand identity. Here are five things to keep in mind when naming your startup.

  • 1. Does it describe what you do?
  • 2. Will people understand what your product is about?
  • 3. Is it rooted in a value your brand stands for?
  • 4. Is it catchy and memorable?
  • 5. Does it infringe on another brand’s name?

Cute business names can trigger powerful emotions. But it may not be appropriate for all types of businesses.

For instance, it’s unlikely that a store selling hardware or office supplies will want to identify themselves as “cute.”

Businesses related to crafts, fashion, babies, toys, and pets, on the other hand, may be able to boost their brand identity with cute names.

Here are some examples of real brands (and their products) that have adopted cute business names:

  • - Disney (entertainment)
  • - Huggies (diapers)
  • - Ollie (dog food)
  • - Kidly (baby clothes)
  • - Crunchie (chocolate bar)
  • - Sweethearts (candy)
  • - iCandy (baby stroller)
  • - Hamleys (children’s toys)

When coming up with cute business names, try the following:

  • - Ending a word with -y (eg. doggy vs dog)
  • - Spelling it with -ie instead of -y (eg. Bobbie vs Bobby)
  • - Using objects or adjectives typically associated with being cute (eg. heart, sweet, love, precious, etc.)

The names generated above are examples only and may be used by other businesses or subject to third-party rights. By using them, you agree to theseTerms.
