FAQ

How do I come up with a product brand name?

Decide where you sit on the literal-to-coined scale: a descriptive name (think SilkPress) is instantly clear but hard to own, while a coined word (think Glossier) is more ownable and ages better as you add lines. Brainstorm 20-plus options, then say each aloud and have someone spell it back. If they hesitate, drop it.

How do I make sure a brand name is not already taken or trademarked?

A free domain or social handle does not mean the name is legally clear. Run a knockout search on the USPTO trademark database for similar marks in your product class, since clothing, beauty, and jewelry each get their own class where a conflict outweighs exact spelling. For packaging, a quick attorney consult is wise.

Should my brand name match my social handles?

Yes, especially for a product brand on Instagram, TikTok, Etsy, or Amazon: confirm the exact handle is free on each before you commit. A name forced into odd underscores or numbers looks unpolished and leaks customers. Every suggestion has a live availability badge, so you lock the domain once a handle is clear.
