🤖 How to Use Our AI Business Name Generator
Our business name generator works like an AI chatbot, similar to ChatGPT or Claude. Here's how to get started:
- Type a description of what you do, or your industry. For example: an all-in-one AI assistant, or eco-friendly cleaning products or modern Italian restaurant in Brooklyn — the AI is already pre trained and knows that you're asking to brainstorm a business name — you don't have to set up the conversation.
- Overchat AI will generate multiple business name ideas based on your description. You'll see different styles - from traditional to creative, short and punchy to descriptive.
- Not quite right? Ask the AI to redo. Tip: Specify what direction you want to take the name, perhaps, make it more playful, professional, or tech-sounding.
- Keep track of the names that resonate with you. Compare them side by side to find your perfect match.
Generate business names for any industry
Our AI adapts to create the perfect name no matter what type of business you're building:
- Tech & startups
- Restaurants
- Retail & e-commerce
- Professional services

🤔 What Makes a Good Business Name?
Here's what separates memorable brands from forgettable ones. Good business names are:
- Easy to remember and spell. Avoid complicated spellings or combinations that require explanation.
- Reflects your brand personality.
- Works across platforms. A good name looks great on a business card, sounds natural in conversation, and fits nicely in a social media handle.
- Leaves room to grow. Avoid names that box you into one product or location. Mike's Brooklyn Pizza becomes limiting if you expand to Manhattan or start selling pasta.
- Stands out from competitors.
- Has an available domain.
🙅 Business Name Mistakes to Avoid
Even the most creative entrepreneurs can stumble when naming their business. Here are the common pitfalls that can hurt your brand:
- Too many numbers or special characters.
- Names that are difficult to pronounce .
- Names over 15 characters are hard to type, remember, and fit on marketing materials.
- Trendy references that will age poorly.
- Offensive or easily misunderstood — always check how your name sounds out loud and looks in different contexts to avoid misinterpretations.
- Unless you're certain you'll stay local forever, avoid names that lock you into one location.

How to choose a business name
Once you've generated a list of potential names, you need to choose the one that's most fitting for your brand. Our AI tool can provide solutions, but it can't make the final decision for you. Here's how you can make sure you make the correct choice:
Say each name out loud. Can you imagine answering the phone with "Hello, this is [your business name]"? If it feels awkward to say or requires explanation, it might not be the right choice.
Test it with your target audience. Share your top choices with potential customers. Ask them what they think the business does based on the name. If they're way off, you might need to reconsider.
Check for hidden meanings. Google your potential names and look for other businesses using similar names, check urban dictionary for slang meanings, and consider how the name translates in other languages.
Sleep on it. After all your research and testing, narrow it down to your top three choices and give yourself at least a few days before making the final decision.
Go with your gut feeling At the end of the day, while data and feedback are important, ultimately you need to love your business name. You'll be saying it, writing it, and living with it every day.
Choose the name that makes you proud to be building your business.
