#1) Brainstorm your name ideas
Start by brainstorming what words could fit into your business name. In my name ideas, I used words like “rose”, “fashion”, “pink “and “vintage”, you can see that while these words can be related to dress, they also suggest that you can expect a beautiful, unique and elegant sort of dress from this business or brand. 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 dress business 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 you’re customer feedback you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?

#4) Check It’s available

You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if you’re name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.

Competitor Name Analysis
To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful dress businesses and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.
REJINA PYO is named after the founder Rejina Pyo, a Korean fashionista and Han Nefkens Award winner. The brand is built on the philosophy to explore dressing on everyday events, both ordinary and special, for ladies all over the world. Its aim to redefine femininity in fashion can easily be in their collection and the success of their brand.
RIXO’s story began in London when best friends Henrietta Rix & Orlagh McCloskey, decided to act on their passion for vintage. They named their business Rixo which was derived from amalgamation of their names and ever since they have worked to be known as a brand that gives women what they really want to wear – to make them feel and look good.
FINERY means fine or showy dress and it obviously establishes the leadership position of the British womenswear fashion label. According to the brand’s vision, Finery wants to make modern, inspiring and sophisticated styling accessible, without compromising on quality. With this, they come across as a highly professional brand, leaving no question about their products.
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 dress terms like beautiful, colorful or bright. 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 dress business named “RIXO”.
Literally, this name does not make too much sense alone but at a deeper level, this is a great name that translates the history and values of the product/business: it’s a combination of the founders’ names Rix & Orlagh, friends who have been working to create vintage inspired dresses for modern woman to wear.
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 (
Poshperfect, TessDreamDress) - Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (Minimax dressup– Minimum and maximum, minimum expense maximum experience)
- 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 dress business names could be:
- Simona Bound
- Legacy nine
- Eva Dreams
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. For example, Jane names his business golden girl and finds out it’s already taken. Because she’s already decided this is what she’ll name her business she tries to opt for similar sounding names like goldenngirl, golderlygirl or goldiegirl.
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.
