Brandable names, checked live against the registries, filtered to the yearly budget you set.

How names are picked

  1. 1
    One naming brain

    Every name you are shown comes from the same place, so the Workshop, the Idea Lab and the blueprint never disagree with each other.

  2. 2
    Trade-aware

    A dog groomer gets grooming words and pet endings. A tutoring app gets school words. No generic 'Pro' and 'Hub' filler.

  3. 3
    Full-sentence taglines

    The tagline under the name is a real sentence a customer would understand, not three words glued together.

The address check

  1. 1
    Choose your route

    Pick 'Find me a new name' or 'I have my own name and domain'. Nothing opens or advances until you choose.

  2. 2
    Checked before you see it

    A progress bar stays on screen while every address is checked live. Only names with at least one address confirmed free become selectable. Taken and uncertain results never reach the list.

  3. 3
    Set your yearly budget

    Pick a budget band and the list only offers endings you can actually afford to keep renewing.

    Open the Workshop
  4. 4
    Buy it wherever you like

    We show the estimated yearly price so nothing surprises you. You register it at whichever registrar you prefer.

  5. 5
    Keep your own name if you have one

    Choose the existing-domain route, then type your name, full tagline and domain. The Workshop never treats a manually typed name as available unless you say the address is yours.

    Change the name later and the prompts rebuild - re-send prompt 1 if you have not started building yet.
