Domain Name Suggestions Generator

About this tool

The Domain Name Suggester turns one keyword into a list of domain name ideas using common startup naming patterns. It adds 15 prefixes (get, use, try, my, go, be, the, pro, smart, fast, just, hey, one, we, open), 15 suffixes (app, hub, kit, lab, io, hq, now, ai, co, xyz, ly, ify, base, works, desk) and a few combos (try…now, …360, …pro, …plus, and shortened forms such as involy for keywords longer than four letters). Tick Prefixes, Suffixes and Combos to choose the patterns. Up to 24 names are shown, each paired with all 10 TLDs (.com, .io, .co, .app, .dev, .ai, .net, .org, .me, .xyz) or with the one TLD you pick. Click a card or its Copy button to copy a domain, or Copy all for the list. The keyword is lowercased and stripped of spaces and punctuation. Availability is not checked; use a registrar for that.

Why use it

• Generates dozens of variations from a single keyword — beats staring at a blank page.

• Applies naming conventions used by successful startups, like get-, try- and use- prefixes and -hub, -ly and -ify suffixes.

• Shows each idea across 10 TLDs at once, or narrows the list to the one you want.

• Instant generation in your browser — no API key or account needed.

How to use

1. Type one keyword in the Keyword field (e.g. invoice, photo or task).
2. Pick a TLD in the TLD filter, or leave Show all to pair every name with all 10 TLDs.
3. Tick or untick Prefixes, Suffixes and Combos to choose which naming patterns to use.
4. Click Generate ideas or press Enter to build the list.
5. Click any card or its Copy button to copy that domain, or Copy all to copy the whole list, then check availability at your registrar.

When it helps

• Brainstorming domain name options for a new startup, product, or side project.
• Finding a memorable .io or .app alternative when the bare .com is taken.
• Generating a shortlist of domain candidates to check for availability.
• Exploring prefix and suffix patterns around your product's core keyword.

Examples

Tips

• Pair short keywords (3-6 letters) with one or two TLDs — long keywords plus long TLDs make unwieldy domains.
• Always check trademark databases (USPTO, EUIPO) before committing to a name — domain availability does not equal trademark availability.
• Prefer .com when possible — it's still the highest-trust TLD for a global audience. .io, .app, and .ai are accepted in tech but cost more.
• Avoid hyphens and digits — they're notoriously hard to communicate over the phone and reduce memorability.
• Use Copy all to paste your shortlist into a registrar's bulk-search tool (Namecheap, Porkbun) and check many domains at once.
• When two candidates feel close, say each aloud — the one that's easier to pronounce on a phone call is usually the better brand.
• Reserve the .com even if you'll use .io as primary — protects your brand long-term and makes typo-redirects easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Glossary

Domain name

The human-readable address of a website (example.com), composed of a second-level label (example) and a top-level domain (.com). Domains are registered through ICANN-accredited registrars.

TLD

Top-Level Domain — the rightmost segment of a domain (.com, .io, .app, .dev). Generic TLDs (gTLDs) like .com are open; country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) like .uk or .de require country relevance for some.

ICANN

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — the nonprofit that coordinates domain name policy globally and accredits registrars. ICANN authorizes which TLDs exist.

Registrar

An ICANN-accredited company (Namecheap, Porkbun, Cloudflare Registrar, GoDaddy) that sells domain registrations to end users. Different registrars have different prices and TLD coverage.

Brandability

How easy a name is to remember, pronounce, type, and trademark. Brandable names are typically short, phonetically simple, hyphen-free, and have no prior dictionary meaning.

Dictionary word vs invented name

A dictionary word (e.g. apple, slack) carries existing meaning and is harder to trademark but easier to remember. An invented (coined) name (e.g. Spotify, Zapier) is more trademarkable but needs marketing investment to teach the meaning.

Portmanteau

A word formed by blending two existing words (e.g. brunch = breakfast + lunch). A common technique in startup naming because it preserves keyword meaning while creating a unique name.

WHOIS

A protocol and public database that returns the registration record for a domain — registrant, registrar, expiry date. Used to verify whether a domain is available or to contact the current owner.
