Hi Guys,

Not very sure if this is the right place but I am launching a multi-vendor site and would like to know if any of you have any ideas on what I should name the product. I had a few ideas but either its taken or the domain is not available.

Thanks

clarified the product is a marketplace, and is right that a name thrown out without constraints is guesswork. Below is a short, practical framework to turn brainstorming into a defensible, brandable shortlist that will still work years from now.

  • Clarify scope and tone first: target buyers and sellers, niche vs broad catalog, geography, and desired brand personality (friendly, premium, utility). These answers guide whether the name should be descriptive or invented.
  • Set hard rules: short, easy to spell and pronounce, no hyphens or digits, visually good in a URL, and flexible enough to allow growth. Prefer an available global TLD (commonly .com) for discoverability.
  • Generate names with methods that scale: blends, metaphors, invented single words, or short compounds. Keep a scored list (memorability, pronounceability, legal risk, domain/handle availability).
  • Run quick checks early: exact-name web search, domain WHOIS, social-handle availability, and a trademark database search before investing in identity. Also test pronunciation and meanings in your main markets to avoid surprises.

Use official resources for legal/technical checks such as the USPTO trademarks pages and general domain/WHOIS guidance from ICANN. Finalize by mocking the name as a URL and logo, then register the domain and key social handles and pursue trademark protection once committed.

we hardly have any information on the product. it's like naming without knowing whether we are naming a boy, a girl, or even a person for that matter.

Its a multivendor website. Just like Ebay, Amazon
