Detailed instructions

1. Set the 'Number of Names' field to how many placeholder startup names your mockup needs.
2. Select a naming style — choose 'tech' for SaaS contexts, or switch styles for consumer or abstract brand feels.
3. Click Generate to produce a fresh list of fictional startup names styled to your selection.
4. Scan the list and regenerate any time a name feels too close to a real brand you recognize.
5. Copy your chosen names directly into Figma, PowerPoint, or your prototyping tool as placeholder brand identities.

Use Cases

• •Populating a 20-slide pitch deck template with distinct fictional startup brands across every slide
• •Filling Figma SaaS landing page hero sections with believable product names before client handoff
• •Building app store screenshot mockups in Sketch that need a convincing app name in the nav bar
• •Stress-testing a reusable Webflow template with short and long name variants to catch layout breaks
• •Assembling a startup competition microsite demo with five or six placeholder company entrants

Tips

• →Generate names in two or three different style settings and mix them — varied naming conventions make a multi-brand template look more realistic.
• →For pitch deck templates, favor names with two to three syllables; they fit cleanly in header typography without forcing awkward line breaks.
• →Deliberately pick names of different character lengths from the batch to stress-test how your layout handles short versus long brand names.
• →Pair each generated name with a fake domain pattern (get[name].com or [name].io) to make header and nav mockups instantly more credible.
• →Avoid names ending in common real suffixes like '-ify' or '-ble' if your mockup client works in a space where those are competitors — it creates unnecessary confusion.
• →Build a personal swipe file by saving your favorite batches across sessions; a bank of 30 to 50 vetted placeholder names speeds up every future template project.
