💡 What You Will Learn
AI brand name generation that works: constraints-first prompts, domain availability checking, and a scoring rubric. No random word mashups.
📜 Table of Contents
Ask an LLM for a brand name and you get WordMash AI. The fix is constraints: the model should be solving a naming brief, not free-associating.
The Framework
Build a prompt with five locked sections: 1) the category and audience, 2) naming style (invented, descriptive, evocative), 3) sound rules (2-3 syllables, no awkward clusters), 4) hard constraints (trademark-safe, no negative meanings in target languages), 5) 30 names per batch. Generate locally with Ollama (177,874 stars) - free, unlimited batches, and your ideas never leave the machine.
Filter Like a Human
Score each name on a 1-5 rubric: pronounceability, spelling ease, domain availability, meaning in target languages, and how it sounds in a sentence. Most generated names die on the domain check - that is normal; generate in volume and filter hard.
FAQ
Q: Should I check trademarks?
A: Always - domain availability is not trademark clearance. Run a trademark search in your target markets before committing.
Q: What about non-English markets?
A: Add a constraint that the name must be checked for negative meanings in every language you plan to sell in - this is where AI fails most.
