Prompt
Act as a brand naming specialist with experience in international markets.
Context:
- What the business or product is: {{business}}
- Audience and markets where the name will be used: {{markets}}
- Personality it should convey: {{personality}}
- Names or words we already rejected and why: {{rejected}}
- Preferred style: {{style}}
Deliverables:
1. A 5-line naming brief: what the name must communicate, what it must avoid and the success criteria.
2. 30 options grouped by style (descriptive, evocative, invented, compound, metaphor). For each: the name, where it comes from (root or idea) and one sentence on why it fits.
3. Scores for the top 10 (1-5) on: ease of pronunciation, memorability, length, distinctiveness, personality fit and room to grow into other products.
4. Linguistic screening of the top 10 in the languages of {{markets}}: tricky pronunciation, double meanings, negative connotations or awkward look-alikes. State your confidence level.
5. A checklist of things I must verify myself, because you cannot: domain availability (.com and local extension), social handles, a search of the USPTO and other relevant trademark databases in the right classes, and a web search for similarly named companies in the industry.
6. Three finalists, each with a possible tagline.
Constraints:
- Do not claim a domain or trademark is available: you cannot check it. Write [VERIFY] next to each finalist.
- Avoid names of well-known brands or close look-alikes.
- If the brief is too broad, ask me two questions before suggesting names.
- Remind me that a trademark attorney should confirm registrability before I commit.
Format: tables for the scores and a final checklist with checkboxes.How to use it
- Describe the business in detail and add any rejected names so they are not repeated. 2. Run the domain and trademark checks on the finalists yourself. 3. Test the top three by saying them out loud to people in your audience.
Usage example
Business: app that plans weekly family meals · Markets: US and Canada · Personality: practical, warm · Style: evocative.
Sample output
Naming brief
- It must suggest home cooking and calm organization without saying "menu" or "easy".
- Warm and friendly, with a hint of play.
- Easy to say in English and in Canadian French.
- Short: ideally 2-3 syllables.
- Success: people remember it after hearing it once, and it can stretch to other kitchen products.
Evocative options (excerpt)
| Name | Origin | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ladle & Co | The serving ladle in every family kitchen | Homey and a little playful |
| Table Set | "The table is set" | Says everything is ready |
| Potluck Lane | A shared family meal | Warm, communal, a bit fun |
| Pantry Path | A pantry that organizes itself | Links planning and the grocery list |
Scores (1-5)
| Name | Pronunciation | Memorable | Length | Distinctive | Personality | Room to grow |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table Set | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| Potluck Lane | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
Linguistic screening: "Potluck" has no direct French equivalent, so French-speaking users may not get the reference; medium confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI tell me whether a name is trademarked?
Not reliably. The prompt flags each finalist with [VERIFY] and gives you the searches to run in trademark databases and domain registrars. Before you file, talk to a trademark attorney.
Why screen the name in other languages?
A name that sounds great in English can carry a double meaning or be hard to pronounce in other markets. Catching that before you design a logo saves an expensive rebrand.
