3. Click Generate and scan the grid for names that match the tone and style of your brand.

Use Cases

• •Naming a new Etsy candle shop before the first product listing goes live
• •Rebranding a craft fair pottery booth that has outgrown its original name
• •Choosing a handmade jewelry brand name before commissioning a logo on 99designs
• •Finding a two-word studio name short enough to fit on a wax stamp or packaging label
• •Generating five or six name directions to test with an audience poll on Instagram Stories

Tips

• →Generate with 'Any' craft first, then re-run with your specific craft selected — sometimes the broader pool surfaces unexpected combinations worth keeping.
• →Pair a generated name with a simple two-word descriptor as a tagline, e.g. 'The Quiet Wick — hand-poured candles'; this helps customers understand your niche without changing the name itself.
• →Say each shortlisted name aloud three times — names that feel clunky to pronounce will also be awkward for customers to recommend by word of mouth.
• →Check whether a name works as an Instagram handle before committing; underscores and extra words added to compensate for taken handles dilute brand recognition.
• →Avoid names built around a single product if you plan to expand your range — 'Birch Soap Co.' becomes limiting once you add candles or skincare to the line.
• →Save screenshots of every batch you generate, not just your favorites; ideas that feel wrong today can inspire better variations after you've slept on it.
