For decades, the business naming process has followed the same broken pattern: brainstorm names, fall in love with one, then check availability. This approach wastes countless hours and causes endless frustration.
We built namemyapp to fix this. Here's why availability-first naming is the future.
The Traditional Naming Process Is Backwards
Brainstorm Names
Spend hours generating creative options
Fall in Love
Pick your favorite—emotionally invest
Check Availability
Domain taken. Heartbreak.
Repeat
Start over. And over. And over.
According to surveys of startup founders, the average entrepreneur checks 5-15 name options before finding one that's available—spending 8-12 hours in the process. That's valuable time not spent building the product.
Why This Approach Fails
The Math Doesn't Work
According to Verisign's Domain Name Industry Brief, there are over 360 million registered domain names globally.
| Domain Type | Approximate Availability |
|---|---|
| 3-letter .com | <0.1% (nearly all taken) |
| 4-letter .com | <1% (extremely rare) |
| Single dictionary word .com | <1% (almost all taken) |
| Two-word compound .com | 5-15% |
| Creative compound | 15-30% |
| Invented name | 30-50% |
The probability of your first-choice name being available is low. Traditional brainstorming ignores this math—setting you up for disappointment.
The Emotional Toll
Beyond wasted time, there's psychological cost:
- Sunk cost fallacy: You've invested so much in a name, you don't want to let go
- Decision fatigue: After 10+ rejections, you just want it over
- Settling: You pick something "good enough" rather than something great
- Delayed launch: The naming decision blocks progress
The Availability-First Approach
What if you only ever saw names that were actually available?
Every Name Is Available

Real-Time Verification
Checked against live registrar data, not cached results
No Wasted Emotion
Only invest in names you can actually have
Faster to Launch
Minutes to find and register, not hours or days

Why Others Don't Do This
| Challenge | Why Most Skip It | Our Approach |
|---|---|---|
| API costs | Real-time checks are expensive | We invest in accuracy |
| Complexity | Easier to show everything | We built for users, not simplicity |
| "More is better" myth | More names = more engagement | Quality > quantity |
| Technical difficulty | Hard to do well | Our core technical investment |
We'd rather show you 10 excellent, available names than 1,000 names where 900 are taken. Quality over quantity. Always.
The Results: Traditional vs. Availability-First
| Metric | Traditional Approach | Availability-First |
|---|---|---|
| Time to find available name | 8-12 hours | Minutes |
| Names checked before success | 5-15+ | 0 (all available) |
| Emotional investment in taken names | High | Zero |
| Confidence in final choice | Often low | High |
The Mindset Shift
But what about creative freedom?↓
Constraints breed creativity. Knowing a name is available lets you focus on fit and feel, not availability. You're not limiting creativity—you're focusing it on what's possible.
What if I already have a name I love?↓
Check it first! If it's available, great. If not, we'll generate alternatives that capture the same essence—all guaranteed available.
Are AI-generated names as good as human brainstorming?↓
Often better. Our AI is trained on successful brand naming patterns and can explore combinations humans might miss. Many users find names they love more than their original ideas.
What about trademark checking?↓
We focus on domain availability—typically the first and most frustrating hurdle. Always do a trademark search before finalizing any business name for legal protection.
Real Impact
The availability-first approach changes outcomes:
- Faster launches: Stop letting naming block your progress
- Better names: More time evaluating, less time checking availability
- Less stress: Know every option is actually possible
- Confident decisions: Choose based on fit, not desperation
