Custom Brand Naming, Design and Trademark Services for Your Business

The team at Brandings® is proud to introduce a new Custom Company Naming service.  Although Brandings® has developed the largest global inventory of pre-developed brand, company and product names, we know a entrepreneur may want a custom name. As a reminder, all our available business names come complete in a brand package.

Now, with our Custom Company Naming service you can put the Brandings® Naming Team to work exclusively for you.  Our etymologists, wordsmiths and naming gurus will develop a set of fresh, new, 100% unique company names specifically for your business.

We understand that not every startup entrepreneur has tons of funding. We’ve also learned over the years, some larger businesses need to rebrand or simply looking to expand under their existing business name. Keeping that in mind, our team has developed three distinct levels of custom company naming.

You’ll find the complete description of each level of service and a comparison between them below. Furthermore, below the custom naming descriptions, you’ll find a comprehensive description of the Custom Company Naming process.  Moreover, we’ve also listed the guidelines for the kinds of names we produce. By the same token, we layout the security and procedures that our team will adhere to.

Lastly, there’s an outline below of what you’ll receive and when you’ll receive it; below.

Custom Naming: The Kinds of Names We Develop

Brandings® will develop custom names for your new venture. We’ll build these business names in the same fashion as we do for our own company.  The naming team will explicitly adhere to the Brandings® company naming guideline to ensure the highest quality names.

We focus on developing new company or product names that are as follows:

  • Short in Length — generally fewer than 11 characters.
  • Easy to Spell — we stay away from unusual spellings, (unless it is strategically done for a specific project).
  • Easy to Pronounce — business names that sound right, your business name needs to be communicated from person to person.
  • Unforgettable — company names that stick in the mind of your customers.
  • Unique — distinctive business names that stand out from your competitors.
  • Hyphen-Free — hyphens will only confuse your audience.
  • Evocative — names that evoke a positive association with your core benefits and competitive advantage.
  • Exact Match Dot-Com Availability — the dot-com domain extension is the global choice for business.  Once our naming team completes your brand development project, you can register one or all the names on the list; it’s up to you.

With that said, if you have any question about the “type” of names that we develop, have a look at the available brand names already in our inventory.

Custom Company Naming - How We Do It
Custom Company Naming - How We Name Startups

Developing the Custom Company Names

First: Comprehensive Naming Questionnaire

To start, you will receive the Brandings® Comprehensive Naming Questionnaire on which the naming process will be based.  Our proprietary questionnaire has been designed and developed specifically to get to the heart of your new venture.

As the new custom names are based on this questionnaire, it’s imperative that we get to the crux of your startup or product.  We need to learn everything we can as to develop the right name.  And to do this, we learn everything we can about your industry or marketplace, target market, goals, strategic objectives, competition, and much more.

This questionnaire serves as the basis of the name development for your specific project. Your answers on the questionnaire will provide our naming team with direction on the nature and scope of your project so, the more we learn, the better.

Important to Know: Security and Confidentiality

Security and confidentiality is, and will always be, of the upmost importance to us.

Any and all information provided to Brandings®, no matter in Questionnaire or in any other form, will not be shared.  Moreover, each member of the Name Development Team assigned to your project is required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement.  The agreement will be signed before sitting down for your project even before learning about what the team will be naming.

Should you have any questions or concerns about security or confidentiality, please reach out, we will answer all of your questions.

Next Step: The Naming Team

Once your questionnaire has been received by Brandings®, your specific project team will be pulled together.  This group of people will henceforth be referred to as your Naming Team.

Your Naming Team will be an internal assemblage, with various backgrounds and from different departments.  They will to go through your Custom Naming Questionnaire, discuss the pertinent information and related material.  Should the team need more information or clarification, generally this is the time they reach out.

After We’ve Collected the Info: Creativity and Development

After all the information, from all the different sources, has been discussed and digested, then the creative process begins.

Always with your Target Market and Market Demographics in mind, the Naming Team begins to develop insightful, standout and unique company name. Within a couple of business days you’ll receive your Custom Brand Name Recommendation Report.

Lastly: The Report

After this brief description, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the custom report.  This report is  officially known as the Custom Brand Name Recommendation Report.

Before we get into specifics, we need to stress that in your Custom Brand Name Report will contain a list of brand new names specifically built for you.  But also, this list will have already been screened for “exact-match” dot-com availability, at the time of creation.

Moreover, the custom company names on your list are NOT from our pre-developed inventory and can’t be found anywhere else on our site.  We DO NOT suggest names from our inventory as some other companies do.

These are brand new custom names built specifically for your venture.  Your Naming Team can pull names from our inventory if specified by you but, these names will not count against the number created.

The Brand Name Recommendation Report: In Detail

Also included in your Brand Name Recommendation Report are details on how we’ve gone about developing your list.  Specifically, it outlines the conceptual framework, methodology, illustrative themes, key messages, input elements, objectives and other foundational factors that guided us through your project.

Subsequently an explanation of our approach to your project is detailed.  This includes the tools and methodology that we used in the name development process.  We’re also now including our collective thought process in creating these specific name suggestions.

It’s our goal to be as transparent as possible. This will help you understand why we developed and recommended the set of names for your business and will make it easy to share our thoughts and ideas with other stake holders.

Directly bel0w you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the Custom Naming Report.  Here the report has been broken down into section as to aid in the understating of our methodology as well as what you’ll be receiving as part of the Custom Company Naming Package.
