Naming Check

Evaluate a proposed name across these dimensions, then give a clear verdict.

Checklist

Conflicts & legal

• Search for existing brands, products, companies, apps using the exact name and close variants
• Check for trademark registrations (search USPTO, EUIPO, or equivalent; note if a full TM search is advisable)
• Note any large, aggressive trademark holders whose name it starts with or closely resembles

Domain & handles

• Check if .com is available (primary signal); note .io, .app, .co as fallbacks
• Note if social handles are likely taken (don't enumerate all — just flag if it's a common word)

Linguistic & cultural

• Does it have unintended meanings in major languages (Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese)?
• Any negative, embarrassing, or offensive associations?
• Does it derive from or closely resemble a word in another language — note it (could be a positive or a risk)

Pronunciation & clarity
