AI Company Naming Best Practices
Balance technical and accessible. Your name should feel credible to technical buyers and investors, but not so jargon-heavy that mainstream users feel excluded. "DeepMind" works because "Deep" is technical (deep learning) while "Mind" is universally understood.
Consider your positioning. Are you B2B or B2C? Enterprise or startup-focused? API or end-user product? Enterprise AI companies tend toward more serious names (Palantir, Databricks), while consumer-facing AI often uses friendlier names (Grammarly, Replika).
Think about longevity. AI is evolving rapidly. A name tied too specifically to current technology (like "GPT-Wrapper Inc") might feel dated in a few years. Names that suggest intelligence or capability without specifying the mechanism tend to age better.
Test pronunciation globally. AI companies often go international quickly. Make sure your name works in major markets - can speakers of other languages pronounce it? Does it have negative meanings in other languages?
Verify trademark availability. AI is a crowded space. Before falling in love with a name, check if it's already trademarked in your product category. The USPTO database and a trademark attorney can help.
Secure the domain early. Don't finalize your name before confirming you can get a reasonable domain. A great name with a terrible domain is a recipe for ongoing friction.
