How to choose a cute business name

Don’t be intimidated by choosing the right business name—while the right name is important, this is also the exciting start to your entrepreneurial journey! The right business name can attract customers, employees, and even investors, so take your time and make sure your name really feels right. Use the following guidelines when considering potential business names. 

Consider your business and target market

Before you can name your company, you need a solid understanding of what your business will do and who it intends to serve. Iron out your business mission and vision statement and conduct market research by checking out competitors or speaking to potential customers. This background will help you pick a name that reflects your business and resonates with the target audience. 

Pick a name that’s distinctive and memorable

Most of the best names in the business follow a certain pattern and rule book:

• Make sure it’s easy to spell and remember as difficult spellings tend to create confusion and are harder to search for. Cute names like Doodle and Dash and The Potted Plant Shop are simple, catchy, and easy to spell for online searches. 
• If you plan to expand or appeal to a wider audience, don’t use a narrow name that’s tied to a certain product or geographic area, as this can limit growth.
• Customers shouldn’t have to guess what your business is about. For instance, if you are naming a toy shop, the use of the word “toy” can instantly identify your offerings to those looking for toys. 

Follow federal and state naming guidelines

Business names have to adhere to certain statutory guidelines. For instance, your chosen name shouldn’t impersonate the name of any government entity like the Treasury or FBI.

While each state has its own naming guidelines, most states require that the business name:

• Has the appropriate legal entity identifier. For example, an LLC business name must have something like “LLC” or “Limited Liability” in it, although exact rules vary by state. 
• Must be easily distinguishable from existing business names. In Texas, there must be at least one different keyword or phrase (TX Admin Code § 79.38). 
• Should avoid offensive language or anything that suggests illegal activities.

A business attorney can help you identify your state’s naming regulations. 

Check if your business name is available

Once you’ve found a name that checks all the boxes, it’s time to see if it’s available for use. If you try to register a business under a name that’s already taken, or if you register one that’s too similar, your formation paperwork may be rejected or open yourself up to legal action from businesses with a name similar to yours.

The easiest way to check for business name availability is to head to your Secretary of State’s website and perform an entity search. Most state governments offer a free search of their business database. LegalZoom can also perform a name check for you as part of our formation services. 

How to reserve your cute business name

Just because your business name is available, doesn’t mean it will stay that way—good small business name ideas are a hot commodity and a good idea won't stick around for long. Registering your business is one way to make your chosen business name yours. But if you aren’t ready to take the big leap, you can reserve your preferred business name instead.

Reserving a business name involves filing a business name reservation application with your state and paying a fee. The fees vary by state but are generally between $15–$60. Names are reserved for 120 days, and some states give you the option to renew the name reservation. 

Once you’ve registered or reserved your name, take some time to set up a social media presence for your business. You can check domain availability through a hosting service like BlueHost or GoDaddy, or reserve your domain name when you build your website with an all-in-one service like Squarespace. Online tools like BrandSnag and NameCheckr can help you check social media handle availability.

Small business owners have a lot on their plates—so let us help. LegalZoom can help you start your business and set you up for success. Our business formation services can help you get started for as little as the cost of state filing fees.

FAQs

What tools can help me brainstorm a cute name?

A thesaurus or business name generator can be invaluable tools for brainstorming cute and creative business names. You can also have a brainstorming session or do word association with friends or family.

What should I avoid when choosing a cute business name?

Avoid picking a name that’s too long or difficult to spell. Also, steer clear from names that are too narrow in focus, either by product or geography, as this can limit your business’s growth prospects. 

Can my business have more than one name?

You can only have one legal name at a time. However, if you choose to operate your business under a different name for branding purposes, you can do so by filing for a DBA. 

Can you change a business name after you register it?

Yes, you can. Refer to your company's operating agreement to understand if there are any internal rules that mention how a name change should be approved. If yours is a single-member LLC, the decision to change your name is solely yours. In multi-member LLCs, you may need a majority vote to start a name change. 

You will next need to find an available cute business name and file the appropriate paperwork with your state business regulating authority (typically your Secretary of State). If the name change is approved, you will need to update all contracts, bank accounts, and other important business documentation.
