Business name generator: step-by-step tutorial
Step 1: Find the right keywords
First you take a closer look at your business to find out which keywords you associate with your brand. Then, to create a name for your business, define what distinguishes your brand in particular. Think about your services or products and which aspects make your business stand out compared to others.
The name shouldn’t be too complex or lengthy. Don't forget to consider synonyms. It’s a good idea to select names that are easy to remember and closely relate to your brand or business. Honesty and authenticity are key. Make a selection of top terms.
Step 2: Insert keywords into the brand name generator
Using the company name generator is easy, simply enter the words you've chosen in the search bar. Choose the words you want in your brand name and prioritize those that are particularly expressive or engaging. You can also try out acronyms or create your own new word.
Step 3: Choose the perfect company name
The business name generator produces a number of different company and brand names to choose from. Once you’ve found a suitable name, just check how unique it is. If you don't find a company with the same name you can usually protect it via the relevant trademark or patent authorities.
Secure your company name as a domain in the brand name generator. It’s a good idea to consider all matching domain extensions. This way you have the perfect addresses for your company website or your online store.

OV SSL CertificateFollow these tips to find a suitable company name. Your desired brand name should neither be too long nor too complex. Instead, choose simple, common terms that your customers can easily remember. Focus your search on words that describe your business in a positive and transparent manner. Ideally, your chosen business name should be recognizable so that it stands out from the competition. The name you choose should not be trademarked already.
If you want to check whether a company name is already being used by another business or is trademarked, search a trademark database. You can usually restrict your search to national or international results. Even if you’re only trading in Canada or the USA, it’s worth checking your new company name internationally.
No. Trademark protection of a company name via IONOS is not possible. The business name generator is only used to search for potential brand names. You can research and register suitable domain names (Internet addresses) for these via IONOS. However, the IONOS Name Generator does not check whether the suggested names are already taken and/or protected. Before you decide on a company name, you should definitely check whether it is still available. Trademark databases and lawyers specialized in trademark law may be able to assist with this.
