The Branding Checklist
Before you finalize your name, run through this essential checklist.
Legal Clearance
Ensure you aren't infringing on any trademarks.
Domain Selection
Try to get a .com if possible.
The 5-Step Naming Checklist
Follow this expert-approved process to ensure your name is ready for the real world.
Define Your Vibe
Is your cafe a fast-paced espresso bar or a slow-sip library? Your name must reflect the speed and energy of your space.
The Pronunciation Test
Say it out loud ten times. If it's a tongue-twister, your customers will struggle to recommend it.
Check Trademark
Search legal databases early. A beautiful name is useless if it's already legally owned by someone else.
Visual Logo Mockup
Write the name in different fonts. Short, balanced names are significantly easier to design for signage.
The Domain Audit
Ensure the .com or a clean alternative is available before you print your business cards.
Domain Ready
Is the .com available?
Social Handles
Consistent usernames.
Trademark
Avoid legal battles.
Logo Fit
Short names look better.
Beyond the Name
Future-proof your brand.
The Availability Test
"If you can't say it in 5 seconds and find it in 2 clicks, it's not the right name."
