#1) Brainstorm your name ideas
Brainstorming on the words to use to qualify and name your business is quite important. I decided to use words that would cover a wide variety of the different agencies we have. The different words ranged from royalty to placement to hype which conveniently covered three different types of agencies.
Your goal here is to create a list of words or names that come to mind when thinking about your business.
If you’re stuck on words to use, try our business name generator.
Here are my name ideas after brainstorming:
#2) Shortlist your ideas
Once you’ve developed a list of possible names, do an analysis of your ideas. Remove any names that could be hard to remember, spell or speak aloud. Keep names that are brandable, sound great, are memorable and communicate your brand values, product or service to your target audience.
Here’s a quick checklist you can run your ideas through to help shorten your list of name:
- Is the name simple and easy to remember?
- Is the name easy to read and say aloud?
- Is the name different from competitors?
- Does the name convey a relevant meaning?
- Does the name avoid overused words or cliches?

#3) Get some feedback
You’ll now have a list of 3-6 great agency names and you can start to ask potential customers or people working in the industry for feedback (your target audience). Avoid feedback from family and friends, are more likely to praise all your ideas and they aren’t your customer.
Be sure to ask questions like:
- What first comes to mind when you first hear the name?
- How would you spell it?
With your customer feedback, you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?
My customer feedback:
This sounds like an agency that helps deliver information to people.
This sounds like an agency that organizes fast travels.
This sounds like an agency that cares and nurtures people’s career.
This sounds like an agency that helps with publicity.
#4) Check if it’s available
At this point, it’s good to have at least three great agency names on your list, in case your any of your names are already taken. You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if your name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.
Check Domain Availability
Competitor Name Analysis
To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful Agencies and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.
ThemeForest
A member of the Envato family, ThemeForest is a digital agency for website templates. The word Theme pertains to web design themes/templates. Forest suggests the huge abundance and diversity of themes potential buyers can choose among.
Shutterstock
Shutterstock is a photographic agency that buys and sells stock photos. The name is a combination of two terms – shutter and stock (as in stock photograph).
Elite Model Management
The name of this agency is representative of cream of the crop. Elite represents the best, the finest in the modeling world.
1. Do a Competitor Analysis
Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitors business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:
- What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
- Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
- Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?
2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.
A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused agency terms like helpers, enablers or outlets. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try name your business in a way that has a story behind it.
Let’s take for example a real business named “Ovation Travel Group “.
Literally, this name is owned by a travel agency that incorporates the idea of an ovation-deserving service or a service that deserves applauds.
3. How to make a more memorable name
Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customers mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give an extra thought on your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:
- Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Sleek Solutions, Advantage Agency )
- Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (Catered Career, catered is a word used for food, but in this context, it means a career thst us well nurtured or watched over)
- Keep it short and simple.
4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name
Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable agency names could be:
- Nexus Marketing
- Scirizon media
- Emoville Agency
You can find a full list of Brandable business names at Domainify.com
5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.
Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. Unnecessary combination of words defeats the purpose of naming your business. For example, Advantage Agency should not be shortened to AdAg or AdvanAg.
You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
