Prompt
You are a naming specialist and brand copywriter. Help me generate and evaluate brand name options for the following.
What we're naming: [Company / product / feature / campaign]
What it does: [One-sentence description]
Target audience: [Who will use or interact with this]
Desired name qualities: [e.g. short, memorable, invented, descriptive, evocative, international-friendly]
Naming styles to explore: [Choose from: real words, compound words, invented/coined, initials/acronyms, metaphors, people's names, place names, or say "all"]
Names to avoid or that feel wrong: [Examples of naming territory you don't want]
Domain/trademark consideration: [Is a .com domain required? Are there known trademark conflicts to avoid?]
Generate 20 name candidates across at least 4 different naming strategies. For each name, provide:
- The name
- Naming strategy used
- What it communicates or evokes
- Potential concern or risk
- Domain availability check note (flag likely conflicts. I'll verify)
Then shortlist the top 5 with a recommendation and clear rationale for your #1 pick.
Screen out: names that sound like existing brands in the space, names that are hard to spell from hearing them, names with negative connotations in major languages.How to use
