Starting a kid business? AI can brainstorm names with you.

The big idea

Every business needs a name. AI is awesome at making big lists of ideas. You pick the one that feels right.

Some examples

'Give me 20 fun names for a lemonade stand.'
'Suggest names for a dog-walking business with the word 'paws.''
'What's a catchy name for a slime business?'
'Give me 10 silly and 10 serious names for my bracelet shop.'

Try it!

Imagine a tiny business you'd run. Ask AI for 20 name ideas. Circle your top 3 and ask a friend to vote.

What makes a business name actually stick?

A great business name does three things at once: it is easy to say out loud, it is easy to remember after you hear it once, and it gives people a tiny clue about what you sell. Think about names you already know — 'Lemonade Loop' sounds fun and already tells you what's being sold. 'Sunshine Sips' paints a happy picture. 'The Yellow Stand' is simple and memorable. When AI gives you a long list of names, it is doing the brainstorming work so you can do the feeling work. You get to read each name aloud and ask yourself: does this feel like MY business? The best name is the one that makes you excited to say it to customers. One helpful trick: after AI gives you 20 ideas, cross off any that are hard to spell, hard to say, or that sound like something already famous. Your top 3 should be ones you'd be proud to write on a sign.

Easy to say: you can tell a friend the name and they understand it instantly
Easy to remember: someone who heard it once could recall it the next day
Hints at what you sell: 'Pawsitive Walks' says dog walking without explaining
Makes you excited: you have to love saying your own business name
Test it: say the name out loud 5 times — if it flows, it's a keeper
