Real words used in a new context: Apple, Amazon, Slack. Compound words: Facebook, PayPal, Snapchat. Altered spellings: Lyft, Flickr, Tumblr (use with care, they can be hard to find). Invented words built from meaningful roots: Pentium, Verizon, Zomato. Metaphors and myths: Nike (goddess of victory), Oracle, Patagonia. Acronyms and founder names: IKEA, Ford. These usually need a long history or big budget to mean something.
Testing a brand name
Show the name to five people in your target audience without explanation and ask what kind of product they imagine. Check it looks good in your logo at a tiny size. Make sure it is easy to spell after hearing it. Check trademarks in your product category and the countries you sell in.
Brand names for D2C and e-commerce
Direct-to-consumer brands live on Instagram and marketplaces, so a short handle-friendly name is essential. Many successful D2C brands use friendly two-syllable names (Boat, Mamaearth, Allbirds) that can stretch across product lines.
