Writing a good prompt to get better names

The generator is only as good as what you tell it. A vague prompt gives generic names; a specific one gives names that actually fit your brand.


A strong description usually includes:

  • What you do — the actual product or service, in concrete terms.

  • Who it's for — your audience or customer.

  • The feel you want — playful, premium, technical, friendly, trustworthy, etc.

  • Any style preferences — short one-word names, invented words, real words, compound names, or specific terms to include or avoid.

Compare these:

  • Weak: "a tech company" → generic, forgettable results.

  • Strong: "AI bookkeeping for freelancers — friendly and approachable, short one-word names" → focused, on-brand results.

A few tips:

  • Iterate. If the first batch isn't quite right, tweak your description and generate again. Small changes in wording shift the results a lot.

  • Don't over-constrain. Give it direction, but leave room — too many rules at once can box it in.

  • Run with the keepers. When a name lands, screen it fully before you get attached.
