5 simple formulas to invent your own

  1. Two real words, joined: Snowflake, Facebook, Mailchimp. Combine a word about your work with a word about your feel.
  2. Word + suffix: add -ly, -ify, -io, -ora to a root (Calm → Calmly, Shop → Shopify).
  3. Tweak the spelling: Lyft, Fiverr, Tumblr — a small change can free up a domain.
  4. Use a metaphor: Amazon (vast), Nike (victory), Apple (simple). Pick an image that captures your promise.
  5. Founder or place + craft: "Marlowe & Main," "Northcraft" — warm and trustworthy.
Remember: a name on this list might be taken in your area or as a domain. Always confirm before you commit — see how to check if a name is taken.
