AI is great at brainstorming fun, catchy business names.
AI can list 20 business names in a flash — you pick the one with the most spark.
Pick a kid business. Ask AI for 10 names. Circle your top 3.
Huge brands like Apple, Amazon, and Google chose simple, short names that are completely unrelated to technology — and somehow that makes them more memorable. 'Apple' is just a fruit. 'Amazon' is a river. 'Google' is a made-up word based on a math term. The point is: the name itself doesn't have to describe everything the business does. What matters is that the name is distinctive, easy to say, and easy to remember. For a kid business, you have more fun options: rhymes work great ('Slime Time,' 'The Bracelet Planet'), alliteration is catchy ('Cookie Corner,' 'Perfect Paws'), and made-up words can be surprisingly sticky ('Zippity Dog Walks'). When you ask AI for name ideas, you're getting a starting point — not the final answer. The final answer is the name you feel most excited to say to a customer, write on a sign, and call your own.
