Choosing a name for your brand is a very hard task. You have to come up with a perfect name. It’s overwhelming, there are millions of choices. Sometimes you brainstorm ideas and names for weeks or even months before you decide.

And then you might discover the domain name you want is not available. So what you do in this case? You repeat the brainstorming process. Painful.

I had a very hard time choosing a name when I purchased my first domain in late 2014.

We need to check the domain availability right away when we come up with an idea for a brand name.

And the march of technology comes to the rescue.

Now, we can use domain and business name generators to come up with ideas in seconds while at the same time we check the availability of the domain names.

So if we have an original idea, a prototype for a brand name, we plug a name generator tool to check domain availability, enter some keywords, let the tool give us hundreds of name ideas, so we find a perfect name for our business in minutes or roughly hours.

We compiled a list of the most popular solutions to help you out.

Let’s dive right in!
