Name your business

A better way to name
a new business.

Naming from a blank page is hard to do well. Re:name is a guided strategic process that takes you from a scatter of ideas to a shortlist you can defend. It is a naming decision platform, not a random generator.

Begin with a free strategic naming assessment. No card required to start.

Why naming feels stuck

Endless ideas, no way to choose between them.

Most founders do not run out of names. They run out of a way to judge them. You brainstorm a long list, ask a few friends, second-guess the shortlist, and eventually pick the one that feels least wrong. A free generator makes this worse, not better, because it hands you hundreds more options with no view on which one is right for your business.

The hard part was never generating options. It is deciding, with confidence, and being able to explain why.

A process, not a word slot machine.

Where a generator stops, Re:name is just getting started.

Not a list

A generator gives you options and walks away. Re:name gives you a framework, so every name is judged against what your business actually needs.

Strategy first

It starts with your context, audience and positioning, not with random word-blending. The strategy is what makes the names relevant.

A decision you can defend

You finish with a scored shortlist and the reasoning behind it, so you can explain the choice to a partner, board or investor.

From a blank page to a defensible shortlist.

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. Answer a few focused questions and get a personalised read on what your name needs to do. This is the opening stage of the process.

Stage 2 · Strategic foundation

Set the context, audience, positioning and the criteria your name will be judged against. This is the thinking a good agency does before it writes a single name.

Stage 3 · Naming territories

Explore distinct directions the name could take, so you are choosing between considered strategies rather than random words.

Stage 4 · Naming rounds

Generate and react to names within each territory. Refine, react and narrow, with preliminary conflict signals flagged as you go.

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 once you have your shortlist.

What you walk away with.

A shortlist, not a dump

A tight set of names that fit your strategy, each one scored against the criteria you set, so the front-runners are obvious.

A written rationale

A Decision Report that explains why each name works, ready to share with a co-founder, board or investor.

Early conflict signals

Preliminary checks that flag obvious clashes early, so you do not fall in love with a name that is already taken.

Save and return

Your work is saved as you go. Step away, bring in your team, and pick up exactly where you left off.

Who this is for

Built for a naming decision that actually matters.

Founders naming a new venture. Small teams launching a product or spin-off. Agencies and consultants who want a structured process to run with clients. If the name is going on a sign, a contract and a lifetime of invoices, it is worth more than a lucky guess from a generator.

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.

Bring your team

Built to be filled in together around one screen, like a facilitated workshop.

Upload what you have

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

Questions people ask.

No. Re:name is a guided strategic naming process, not a random generator. You begin with a free strategic naming assessment, which is the opening stage of the process. From there you can continue into the complete Guided Strategic Naming process to reach a shortlist you can defend.
No, that is exactly who this is for. The process starts from your business context and strategy, not from a name you already have. It helps you generate and judge options against a clear framework, so you are choosing on purpose rather than guessing.
The guided process takes around 45 to 60 minutes of focused work, and you can save and return. Many people spread it across a couple of sittings, especially when they bring their team in.
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 work through it together, like a facilitated workshop at their own pace. The more perspectives you bring in, the more defensible the final call.
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.
