Naming, the word your team says a thousand times a day, chosen on purpose.
The name is the highest-leverage word your team picks. The wrong one means every customer call starts with explaining what it means; the right one means the product introduces itself. We name with linguistic frameworks, trademark pre-screening, and pronunciation testing across every market you sell into.
What we build
A brief anchored to your audience and positioning
Before we generate a single name, we anchor on your audience, your positioning, and the categories the brand sits in. Every candidate is judged against that brief, not against how it sounds in the room.
Linguistic frameworks, with the trade-offs
Real-word, descriptive, evocative, abstract, founder-named. Each pattern with examples and where it wins or costs you, so you see the full range of options before you commit.
Trademark pre-screening built in
Shortlisted names are pre-screened against USPTO, EUIPO, and WIPO. The filing itself is your lawyer's call, but you reach that conversation already clear of the obvious conflicts.
Domain availability ranked alongside
The .com first, sensible alternatives after. Availability is scored next to trademark, so the team commits to a name it can actually buy.
Pronunciation tested in your markets
Selling in NL, DE, and the US? The name is pronunciation-tested in each. Anything that reads clean in English but trips in Dutch stays off the shortlist.
A shortlist with the reasoning and a recommendation
You get three to five names, the case for each, our pick, and the strong runner-up. A decision you can take to the team and defend.
Where this fits
You're launching a product or feature and the working name is starting to feel permanent.
The company name was picked in week one, and the rebrand for the next phase has to start there.
Engineering has been calling the new feature 'the thing' for two sprints and it's time it had a real name.
