What Makes a Good SaaS Name
Scalable identity. SaaS products often expand beyond their initial scope. Slack started as a gaming company side project. Zoom isn't just for meetings anymore. Choose a name that can grow with your product roadmap.
Enterprise-friendly (if B2B). If you're selling to businesses, your name appears on procurement forms, vendor lists, and board presentations. Names that sound too casual or playful can create friction in enterprise sales. "Figma" works; "FunDesignz" might not.
Developer-credible (if technical). Developer tools need names that technical users respect. This often means avoiding overly cute names and embracing names that sound sophisticated or even slightly nerdy. Think Vercel, Supabase, Terraform.
Memorable for referrals. SaaS growth often depends on word-of-mouth. Your name needs to be easy to share - in Slack messages, emails, conversations. Long names, unusual spellings, and hard-to-pronounce words hurt referral potential.
SEO-distinct. Common words are hard to rank for. "Calendar" as a SaaS name means fighting for search visibility. Invented or unusual names (like Calendly) create a unique search term you can own.
