Nabu A free tool from Nabu

Name your brand.

Six names, generated against the same nine heuristics we use ourselves — short, early in the alphabet, survives being heard once aloud, and actually means something. Then we check the domains, the handles and the trademark register — and say plainly which ones we could not check.

What are you building? — the more specific, the better the names

Who is it for? — optional

Brand archetype — optional

What should we check each name against?

Each one is a live lookup. Turn off what you don't need and we'll skip it entirely rather than making you wait for it.

Domains .com, .net, .org, .app, .dev, .ai — checked against each registry Handles GitHub, Bluesky and npm Trademarks Exact matches on the US register, plus a prefilled search link. Never a clearance search.

The heuristics

Fewer syllables the better.
First letter close to A — alphabetical-sort advantage.
Passes the radio test — heard once, a listener can spell it.
Represents what you do, at least metaphorically.
Unique in spelling — ownable in search results.
Meaning tied to its origin is a plus.
Available as a .com or another TLD.
Easy to type — no punctuation, numerals or accents.
Travels well — doesn't mean something bad elsewhere.
