Company Name Generator

Systematic business naming with trademark screening and domain availability validation.

Core Workflow

Extract business context (domain, audience, competitive positioning, IP requirements)
Generate 5-15 names per category (10 categories)
Score each name 0-100 across 5 weighted criteria
Check USPTO TESS for trademark conflicts
Verify .com/.ai/.io domain availability
Present top 25 ranked names with availability data

10 Naming Categories

Descriptive - Direct function description. Clear but may lack trademark strength.
Metaphoric - Evoke imagery/emotions. Strong storytelling (e.g., "Everest", "Summit").
Invented - Unique coined words. Highest trademark strength (e.g., "Auctioniq").
Founder-Based - Personal brand authority. Clear IP ownership (e.g., "Shapira Formula").
Acronym - Memorable initialisms (e.g., "APEX").
Compound - Two-word combinations (e.g., "BidDeed", "LienLogic").
Foreign Language - Sophistication/authority (e.g., "Veritas").
Playful - Approachable, memorable (e.g., "BidWise").
Geographic - Place-based authority (e.g., "Brevard BidTech").
Legacy - Institutional authority (e.g., "The Shapira Group").

Scoring Formula (0-100)

Score = (Trademark×0.30) + (Domain_Signal×0.25) + (Tech_Signal×0.25) + (Metaphor×0.10) + (Memo×0.10)

Trademark Strength (30%): USPTO conflict risk
Domain Signal (25%): Industry/function clarity
Tech Signal (25%): AI/ML/automation implication
Metaphor Power (10%): Storytelling/pitch strength
Memorability (10%): Ease of recall/pronunciation

python scripts/check_availability.py "Company Name" --classes 9,42 --tlds com,ai,io

Trademark Classes:

Class 9: Software
Class 42: SaaS
Class 41: Education (if methodology/certification)

Risk Levels:

Output Format

Present top 25 as markdown table:

Rank	Name	Category	Score	TM Risk	Domain	Notes
1	BidDeed.AI	Compound	90	LOW	✅ .ai	Function + AI clear
2	Shapira Formula™	Founder	92	LOW	✅ .ai	Personal IP ownership

Special Cases

Metric/Framework Names: Emphasize Founder-based + Formula categories. High metaphor power for investor pitches.

IP Protection Focus: Favor Founder-based (personal ownership clear) and Invented (high TM strength).

Dual-Brand Strategy: Generate both umbrella + product names. Verify brand hierarchy logic.
