Business name generators are virtual tools that help you brainstorm ideas to find a suitable name. They are free and can be used fairly quickly and intuitively. Most of them are optimized for e-commerce , although they can be used by businesses of all kinds. Here are the five most prominent generators on the market today:
Shopify Business Name Generator
Shopify's business name generator is one of the most comprehensive for ecommerce businesses. Shopify is one of the leading platforms for creating ecommerce websites and you can find out more about it in our review . The name generator is a standalone Shopify tool that you can use for free, even if you don't have a subscription.
The principle is quite simple: you need to enter a keyword that describes your company's activity or another term you want to use as a reference (without accents), for example: Children's fashion . The Shopify generator then offers a list of approximately one hundred name possibilities. All of them will have the keyword you initially entered integrated (for example: Children's Fashion Fire ), but it is up to you to decide whether to use it as part of the official company name or not.

Graphical User Interface, Application Description automatically generated
Business Name Generator (BNG) is a free business name generator with a built-in domain checker. It is sponsored by Wix , one of the leading ecommerce website builders on the market. In this article, we take a look at Wix's features for building an ecommerce website.
BNG works in the same way as these tools do: you enter one or more keywords and the tool returns a very wide range of ideas , with hundreds of possible names. It is available in Spanish and offers optimized names in the Spanish language. The suggested names include only one of the keywords you used for the search.
In our example, we're looking for ideas for a Winter Sports business (no prepositions or secondary words should be included). Some of the suggested names include "Sports" and others "Winter," but the two terms never appear together. In the filters, you can indicate whether you'd like the keyword to appear at the beginning or end of the name. When you click the "+" sign next to a name you're interested in, a list will drop down showing the domain availabilities associated with that name.

Nameshack
Nameshack is a free business name generator that also provides information on domain availability. To use it, you enter one or more keywords and choose a category for your business. Nameshack then returns a list of suggested names. For each, it indicates whether the corresponding “.com” domain is available and links to a tool for generating a logo for that name.
One drawback of Nameshack is that it's not fully optimized for the Spanish language. You'll have to be prepared to encounter quite a few names in English or French, but you never know where inspiration might come from. Always remember that these generators serve as brainstorming tools: you can take or modify whatever you want.

Namelix
Namelix is a free business name generator that stands out for the quality of the filters it offers. It differs from other generators in the intermediate steps after entering the keywords: you must choose the length and style of the names to refine the selection. You can choose names for brands, personal names, real words (in English), words that rhyme, etc.
Namelix is also original in its display of results: names come with their own logo proposal (which can be free or paid). It also indicates whether the domains linked to the proposed names are available.
