Choose a business name

Stop guessing.
Decide with confidence.

You have a few names you like and no clear way to choose between them. Re:name scores your options against what your business actually needs, so the right one stops being a gut call. It is a naming decision platform, not a random generator.

Begin with a free strategic naming assessment. Test a name you are considering.

Why the decision stalls

Three names you like, and no way to choose.

You have narrowed it down, but each name has a champion and a doubter. One sounds premium but is hard to spell. One is clear but a little flat. One you love, though you are not sure why. So you keep circling, asking more people, and the decision drifts because it is being made on taste alone.

A name this important deserves better than a show of hands. It deserves a decision you can explain.

From a gut feeling to a clear call.

Re:name gives your shortlist something a group chat never can: a framework.

Judged, not voted on

Each name is scored against the strategy and criteria you set, so the strongest option rises on merit, not on who spoke loudest.

Blind spots surfaced

Spelling traps, muddy meanings and obvious conflicts get flagged early, before they become an expensive problem.

A decision you can defend

You finish with a scored shortlist and the reasoning behind it, ready to explain to a partner, board or investor.

How you get to a confident decision.

The guided process moves through clear stages. You start free, and continue when you are ready.

Stage 1 · Free assessment

Begin with a free strategic naming assessment. Test a name you are considering and get a personalised read on how it performs. This is the opening stage of the process.

Check your Name Risk Score
Stage 2 · Strategic foundation

Set the context, audience, positioning and the criteria your name will be judged against. This is what turns opinion into a considered decision.

Stage 3 · Bring in your options

Add the names you are weighing up. The process assesses each one against your criteria, side by side and on the same terms.

Stage 4 · Test and refine

See how your candidates score, react to the results, and generate fresh directions within the same strategy if you need them.

Stage 5 · Decision Report

Finish with a scored shortlist and a written rationale you can share, so the decision holds up under scrutiny.

Optional · Expert Review

Want a second opinion from a naming professional? You can add a human Expert Review before you commit.

What you walk away with.

Your options, scored

Every candidate assessed against the criteria you set, so the front-runner is clear and the reasons are on the page.

A written rationale

A Decision Report that explains why the winner wins, ready to share with a co-founder, board or investor.

Early conflict signals

Preliminary checks that flag obvious clashes early, so you do not commit to a name that is already taken.

Fresh directions if needed

If none of your options are quite right, the process can generate new ones within the same strategy.

Who this is for

For the moment the choice actually has to be made.

Founders sitting on a shortlist they cannot separate. Teams deadlocked between two strong contenders. Agencies and consultants who need to justify a naming recommendation to a client. If the name is going on a sign, a contract and a lifetime of invoices, the decision is worth making properly.

Built on agency methodology

A naming practice, not a weekend tool.

Re:name comes from a working naming and branding practice and was recognised with the 2026 Global Naming Top Award. The guided process puts the same structured method used on full client engagements into a tool you can run yourself.

A human in the loop, when you want one.

Self-guided by default, with expert help available at every level.

Guided Strategic Naming

The complete self-guided process, from strategic foundation to Decision Report. The full engagement is $1,495 + GST.

A few things people ask before they start.

Work at your pace

Save and return whenever you like. Nothing is lost if you step away mid-process.

Decide together

Built to be filled in as a team around one screen, so everyone owns the final call.

Upload what you have

Already done strategy or brand work? Upload it and the process builds on it.

Questions people ask.

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. Start with a free strategic naming assessment to see how a name performs against what your business actually needs. The guided process then scores your candidates against clear criteria so the strongest option becomes obvious.
No. Each name is judged against the strategy and criteria you set, not against a gut feeling. That is what makes the result defensible when you explain the choice to a partner, board or investor.
Then it is better to find that out now than after the signage. The process can also generate fresh directions within the same strategy, so you are not stuck choosing the least bad option.
It surfaces preliminary conflict signals to help you avoid obvious clashes early. It is not a legal trademark clearance. Before you commit to a name you should still run a formal trademark and availability check with a professional.
Yes. There is one project login, but the process is built to be filled in collaboratively. Many teams gather around one screen and reach a shared, defensible decision together, which is far easier to stand behind than a split vote.
You can start with a free strategic naming assessment. The complete Guided Strategic Naming process is $1,495 + GST, which includes the full guided process and Decision Report. That sits well below a full agency naming engagement, which typically starts in the tens of thousands.

Make the call, and back it up.
