The naming problem

Finding a great business name is genuinely hard. Here's why.

Most founders underestimate the naming challenge — then spend weeks paralysed by it. This isn't a creativity problem. It's an information problem. And it's solvable.

01

Every good name seems taken.

There are over 350 million registered domain names. .com is 30 years old. By the time a name feels right to you, there's a 73% chance the .com is already gone — owned by a squatter, a dead startup, or a fortune 500.

02

Decision paralysis is real and expensive.

The average founder spends 3–6 weeks on naming. They generate a list, fall in love with something, discover it's unavailable, start over, ask friends who all disagree, and end up back where they started.

03

The wrong name is a long-term liability.

A name that's hard to spell means every referral leaks to a competitor. A name too similar to an existing trademark is a lawsuit waiting to happen. A name with no social handles means you launch fragmented.

The alternatives

What founders do instead — and what it costs them

Before BrandForge, there were four ways to name a business. None of them were good.

Do it yourself

Slow & subjective

Cost

Free

Your time isn't

Time

3–6 weeks

Cognitive bias, decision fatigue, and the echo chamber of friends produce mediocre names or endless debate.

Hire a naming agency

Prohibitively expensive

Cost

£3k – £25k

Per project

Time

4–12 weeks

Exceptional work — for clients with the budget and runway to wait. Most early-stage businesses have neither.

Freelance copywriter

Partial solution

Cost

£500 – £3k

Plus revisions

Time

1–4 weeks

Creative names, yes — but no real-time domain checks, trademark screening, or SEO analysis. Half a solution.

Domain hacks

When the .com is gone, a domain hack might be better anyway

A domain hack uses the TLD as part of the brand name itself — turning a limitation into a creative asset.

What exactly is a domain hack?

The TLD — the bit after the dot — forms part of the word itself. "Delicious" becomes del.icio.us. "Bitly" uses Libya's .ly to complete the word.

BrandForge scans thousands of TLD combinations against every name — surfacing hacks you'd never find yourself.

When hacks shine

  • Tech, tools, and SaaS products
  • Brands where the URL is the primary identifier
  • Short names with strong visual appeal

Things to consider

  • CCTLDs carry country associations
  • Can be confusing spoken aloud
  • Some CCTLD registrars are less stable

BrandForge checks

  • Registrar reliability score for every CCTLD
  • Pronunciation test — does the hack read cleanly?
  • Whether .com is available as backup
