How did you come up with the name for your startup?

I like when the name has the main feature product keyword. It is easier to explain to early adopters.

You need a) unique enough so you come up on the 1st page of googling and b) easy enough to remember so people can type it without looking at your biz card. So we have created a list what we think is good and then test it ourselves and on our friends

Finding a name for a startup is always a fun process. Having gone through it several times with my previous startups, it's usually a long list of lame and stupid names... then it hits you. In my case, usually when I see it it resonates with me immediately. My latest startup, Cliezen is made up from the words Client and Kaizen = Cliezen. As the company is helping B2B companies understand their client experience and satisfaction, making small changes to their companies to better meet the needs and expectations of clients (hence Kaizen = meaning the Japanese lean management methodology of "continuous improvement", to make small gradual changes to improve processes and business. So, a lot of hidden meaning behind it and always fun when I have a meeting with someone that gets the combination of words (happens more often than I would have thought!).

That wasn’t easy! In fact, I built an MVP faster than came up with naming :) We tried ChatGPT 4th model to seek help with that, however, all of the options were quite boring, and domain names were taken which couldn’t be checked with GPT However, someday we just realized that we help people build web pages with AI. That’s why we’re Paige now :)

@marksachintha It's a great question! Tbh, I do not remember clearly how it's come to my mind, but I wanted something playful and unique and we came up with l00kin, where zeros replaced with the eyes emoji and the last letter is missing as it sounds in a speech. Lately, we figure out that eyes amplify the name 😇

I was in highschool when i got the idea then when i started college i committed to it 01TEK... fast forward a few months i got my first internship once i got paid from it I paid the domain and hosting and it all started from there

I'm a long time fan of Douglas Adam's novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There was an AI android named Marvin - who was so good at predicting things into the future by quintillions calculations with universe's best algorithm loaded inside. I really like its personality - calm, calculative, helpful and best at what it's supposed to do. So when I launched my first startup - I named it after him - Marvin XR :-)

As an iPAAS we thought about names that reflected us being the last visible layer a developer needs to interact with. This lead us towards thinking about the light spectrum, and we chose “Violet” since it’s the last color you see at one end of the spectrum. Coincidentally, the “violet.io” domain had just gone up for sale that same week we landed on the name so it felt like it was meant to be.

We built Namify.tech to solve exactly this problem. It not only suggests meaningful names that are actually usable, but also shows domain, social username and trademark availability for each brand name suggestion. Saves makers a crazy amount of time

This time...Just chat gpt and google search.

seems like every sensible domain is already bought by brilliant minds. So we chose the next best name chatdox.com chat with your documents

Chatgpt helps!

Our name came from content + easy = caisy

I named my startup Urban Charging initially to piggyback on a popular start named Urban Company.

Interesting question. I explained my idea to ChatGPT and asked for name suggestions! Then I streamlined to about 4 options, bought domains for all 4 options and ended up going with the one that felt cooler and less prone to mistype.

Our name comes from the whatsapp group we had before creating the startup. Our idea was to create an B2B app for team leaders that would enable them to focus on people over process. I named the whatsapp group Pop, short for people over process. We brainstormed for our "real name" for a few sessions and didn't like anything we came up with so we thought what about pop and saw that pop.work was free as a domain. That's how we became Popwork 😅

We actually used a blend - combining 2 words (coin & hall) into a single one (Coinhall) so that it's more searchable ✨

Naming Taskade was a fun coffee-fueled brainstorm with my co-founders. We were sketching ideas for an app that turns big to-do lists into manageable tasks. The idea of cascading tasks kept coming up, and from there, the name "Taskade", a mashup of "task" and "cascade", just clicked. It felt right as it captured the essence of breaking down tasks in a flowing, organized way. Cheers to more flowing tasks!
