FAQ
Questions before you start
How should I choose a startup name?
Start with names that are easy to say, easy to spell, and broad enough for the company to grow. Then check domain availability, trademark risk, competitor similarity, and how the name feels in a sentence.
Should a startup name include the category keyword?
Sometimes, but it is not required. A category keyword can help clarity, while a more brandable coined name can give you more room to grow. Domanana helps test both directions.
Can I save startup names across multiple searches?
Yes. You can like domains from different passes and keep them in a shortlist for comparison.
