A memorable and relevant name can make your business easier to find online and help customers understand what you offer. It can even influence how people perceive your company culture and values. Choosing the right name is an investment in your future success.

Choosing a memorable business name is all about finding that sweet spot between catchy and informative. Use your creativity and the power behind our free business name generator to brainstorm and find a business name that's perfect for your brand. A memorable business name should be:
Make sure your business name is relevant to your industry or the products and services you offer. It should give potential customers an idea of what your business is about, but not be so narrow that it restricts you from expanding into new products or services in the future.
Choose a name that is easy to type and spell, ideally containing relevant keywords. Check for domain name availability – that's your website address – and see if matching social media handles exist. A web-friendly name makes it easier for customers to find you online.
Aim for a unique name that is easy to remember. You want to stand out from the competition, but you also want to ensure your business name is easy for customers to recall when they need your product or service.
Keep the name simple and easy to spell. Complicated or overly long names can be difficult for customers to remember or type into search engines. Avoid names that are too similar to existing businesses in your industry.

The Rocket Copilot™ Business Name Generator is free. You don’t have to use it just for business names though – you can use it as a brand name generator, product name generator, or for any other type of business-related name you need.
Create as many names as you’d like, and when you’re ready to register your business, your first LLC, corporation, or nonprofit registration is FREE (excluding state fees) with a Rocket Legal+ membership.
While our AI business name generator makes unique business names, reviewing your favorite business name ideas with a pro can provide you with confidence that a business name is available to use.
There are a few different ways that business names are protected. Searching whether a name is trademarked in federal and state databases is critical. Also, researching whether the same or similar names are registered as business names in your state or other states can be important to protecting the use of your business name.
This requires some online research. First, use our business name generator to brainstorm and then list your favorite business name ideas. Then, go to the various social media platforms that you plan to use for your business and search there to see if someone has already taken the names on your list. Similarly, you can search online for websites that use your business name as the url, or in their marketing.
You may still be able to use that name, but it will depend on a number of factors. Businesses in different industries or in different states and regions may be able to use the same name, especially when there is no risk of confusion. If you plan to do so, however, speaking with a Rocket Legal Pro™ is a good idea to understand the level of risk you may be taking by doing so.
It may be an option to reach out to the owner of the business name you wish to use to see if they are interested in selling it. Small businesses often choose a different, unique name to avoid the cost of buying a name or a legal challenge.
Using your own name as your business name can work in several different industries. For many professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, building your own personal brand can help with marketing.
Short names are easier to remember. You want your business to be remembered and talked about because there is still no more powerful marketing than word of mouth.
No. Your business needs a name. You may change your business name after starting up. If you do not have a business name and you have not registered as a business, by default, your business name is your name. In order to register your business, you are required to choose a name.
How to choose a business name is entirely up to you, but our business name generator can provide you with a variety of options so that you can move forward with starting your business.
Depending on where and the type of business you operate, you may be required to include the business type at the end of your business name to give consumers and the public in general notice of your business type. Many states do require that LLCs, for example, include LLC, limited liability company, or another term at the end of the business name to clearly indicate to the public that the owners have limited liability.
