    I think you should go to find only that name which can justify your business motive and purpose! because better name can only allow you to establish a good Brand Name in future

    If you are offering a service or product, then try incorporating the main keyword in to your website URL / Domain Name. Use keyword research tools, such as the one supplied free by Google, to determine the most searched for keywords with the least competition that relate to your niche.

    Many company names are made up according to some of the following systems or a combination thereof:
    owner name, - like Smith's
    function or product, - like Plumbing or Gunshop
    fantasy word, - like Remoc Gunshop or just Remoc
    geographic location, - like Texas Plumbing

    It is one of the most important things you should do starting your business. Your business name should be easy to spell and memorable. The name should include information about what your business does. For choosing a business name brainstorm your friends, colleagues, family.

    You can buy the name from the company that own that.
    They will let it go if you offer them a high price for the name.

    i agree, also if the domain is already used for the name you choose,
    look at that website, if they are not settled up, you can offer them with a price to buy the domain.

    don't even try to copy the name, because if they have already got the trademarks, you will get difficulties later.

    good luck :)

    Your name should be descriptive enough for people to know what your business is about right away.

    I don't choose a business name if the .com address is unavailable. ESPECIALLY if you do business online! Look at available domains, social media usernames, etc. when looking at a possible name.

    1) A winning business name has to be memorable – but easy to spell.
    2) A winning business name needs a visual element.
    3) A winning business name has to have positive connotation.
    4) A winning business name needs to include information about what your business does.
    5) A winning business name has to be fairly short.

    I would reccomend trying to get your main product in your business name. As an example if you will be selling cars.. call your company DP-CARs (as an example). you can also then get the domain which is product and brand rich.

    Hey there,

    I recommend you to choose business name that related to your product and services. It is to make branding much more easier.

    Just my 2 cents. :)
