Tips for everyone:
Tips for Namees, the name seekers:
Don't Be A Dick. You are asking people to volunteer their time to help you out; be nice.
A wall of text is better than a one liner. If it is for a new endeavor, give us your pitch and fully describe it to us.
Feel free to link to some pics.
Press enter twice between paragraphs to break up that beautiful wall of text.
Tips for Namers, the givers of names:
Don't Be A Dick. Feel free to ask for more info or question something, but be nice about it.
Press enter twice between each name suggestion to separate them for easier reading.
Use an asterisks, *, at the start of each line to make your suggestions into bullet points for even easier of reading.
Try brackets ( ) when I want to explain something about a name, eg to explain that it is the name a of a norse god, or a portmanteau of word1+word2 and so on.

I posted recently and got such a good laugh out of some of the suggestions and others were really helpful too, it actually led me to find the names I was trying to choose between! It's down to these. Long story short : I am a doula and want to focus solely on bipoc and lgbtqia2s+ and any birth or family that may not feel comfortable with a lot of the doulas in my area because I live in the Bible Belt. I digress. Any opinions would be helpful! Thank you.

Hello, I've been trying to think of a new and unique username that I can use across several platforms for a while, but I can't seem to come up with anything that I like and fits to me. So I'm looking for some ideas.
About me:
Name requirements:
If it helps, one name that I thought of and liked was "dysternis" (based on düsternis, a german word for darkness), but that one is already taken.
Thanks for any help in advance!
The company tailors towards renters. We offer a service where they can paint it back to the original colour for $99.99 per room. We guarantee their deposit back.
I came up with LET’S PAINT, but a let is only a rental in the UK, so it doesn’t work here. Any other suggestions?
Hi,
I'm looking for a name for a new gaming community focused on indie and AA games, specifically those that emphasize storytelling, artistic beauty, emotional depth, beautiful OST and simply overlooked gems (examples: A Plague Tale, Ori, Jusant, Atlas Fallen, etc.).
I want the subreddit to stand out from existing ones like r/indiegaming or r/gaming by focusing on games that don’t just entertain but also inspire through their narratives and art. That are unique in their stories.
Here are some potential names I’m considering:
Do you have other suggestions that better capture the idea?
Thanks for your help! 😊
Pemise: “It has been decided that mortals have gone too long without divine oversight.”
The process to select a new God to rule over the world has begun, and it is only natural that a mortal gets the final say in who is chosen. You are a mortal soul, randomly plucked on your way to whatever awaits after your recent death and tasked with serving as the auditor, the representative for mortals in this process, and the final decider of the fate of the Mortal Realm. With the promise of revival under the power of whatever God you select to spur you on, and an angelic guide by your side, interview applicants, survive their divine emotions, explore their natures, and finally make a choice that will decide the rest of eternity. Omnipotence is in your hands, and you have to give it to someone…
I'm required to have a name for this project as soon as possible but all the ones I've come up with sounds kind of lame, or don't fit the tone I'm going for it. (that tone being a mix of serious funny and thought provoking)
My ideas:
Select-a-God
God's Jury
Deicollatus
Arbitrium Deus
Arbitrium
Divconlatus
Colloquium
Lectus-divinus
Something Punchy and memorable would be nice. Ideally it would be able to get the premise of cross through just the title so that's not a complete requirement.
I am trying to write a fantasy novel that is governed by two major gods. One is the goddess of chaos (the energy that exists in my novel, like mana). Feminism changes fertility and emotions, where the other God is the embodiment of logic, masculinity, valour, and technology. I need the name of these gods, so please help me.
I'm trying to think of something catchy or funny, but my brain's got nothing so far. Know any good ones?
I am writing a story where magic is caused by a hormone in the brain, and I need a name for it. Ideally it would contain a reference to the word Mana
Hello! I'm working on redoing some characters and I realized I don't have a last name for a character that I have had for 3 years..Oops..Anywho, His name is Lockett, He is half Mexican and Asian and he is pretty much your stereotypical rich nonchalant bad boy. I need a last name that gives that bad boy energy that also screams money. Much appreciated!
So i play this mmorpg and I'm trying to make a guild and I'm trying to name it, so far my thought process went to Bahamut from Arabic mythology (for those that don't know he's basically a giant whale/fish that supports the earth on its back, there is obviously more to it than that but quick explanation :)) I have a 16 character limit,
(does not have to be Bahamut themed, smt similar would be preferred but anything works :))
any help or ideas would be very much appreciated :))
We very much like people names for dogs, and animals in general. We have two other dogs with human names. Help us with this guy.
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me to find the best nickname for a YouTube channel and an instagram account. I would like to do not give a lot of information to know which one sounds best if you know nothing on them and tell me which one your prefer pls :)
(I am also curious to know how you would pronounce each one of them in your language).
My school is hosting a charity week, and me and my friends came up with the idea to start a charity group so we could continue to do events even after charity week is over. We are stuck on coming up with a name though, and we are looking for something that isn't too formal, just a casual name that is catchy. We would appreaciate your help!
I need a name for a preschool with cowboy/cowgirl/Wild West theme. Id love to use something that is unique and not super dainty but also not too aggressive. This was a quick iteration I just created but I'm not sure if "Wild Style" sends the right message for a preschool. I'd love to use cowboy, cowgirl, highland cows, farm animals as part of the theme.
Hi everyone, I’ve been a bereavement counselor for a few years and I’m looking to start my own private practice! Can anyone think of a cool business name? I love a good play on words but open to anything.
Help wanted ♥️
So far I’ve got: Good Grief Love & Loss My Grief Journey
Hi community, i am working on naming for active wear brad, will appreciate any naming tips, would be ncie not to be mainstream, ai generate stuff, more organic ideas please. Think about running, pickelball ,padel, cyling and outdoors with urban mix. thanks
We’re going to watching “non mainstream” movies. Gore, 80s schlock, Asian shock, cheesy action, those kinda of things. Starting with Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage and following with Tokyo Gore Police. I was thinking “Cult of _____” with the blank being an acronym but I’m open to anything.
I'm asthmatic and every time I've smoked (or inhaled) weed, I have never coughed.
My name is Zach, so this addition would be like "Zach the [insert badass title]", kind of like how warriors would have a surname denoting their achievements, like characters from Skyrim
I know there has to be some hilarious puns or innuendos
I love anything that deals with oranges, the color and fruit! :) My name starts with a C so I thought about using the word "Citrus" but I don't like anything I've come up with. Any help is appreciated!
I don't really want "Crochet" in my business name bc I plan to sell other crafty things in the future.
INAN for a non-profit that will fundraise to support healthcare benefits for underprivileged communities. Some of the immediate goals of the non-profit are :(a) to fundraise money to support a NGO in India that provides free diagnostic tests to rural communities , and b) fundraise for a foundation in US that buys medical debt to erase medical debts for uninsured/poor individuals. Looking for a generic name that signifies giving a fair chance to everyone with empathy and care
Back in the days of DC++ I stumbled upon a series of horror stories that got stuck in my head and for some time I've been trying to find them again to share with some friends but I am unsuccessful.
I don't remember much besides the plots of some of these stories (some felt like they are somewhat related or I remember incorrectly).
The one that I remember the best is the first story:
It was about a man which gets a link to some website via mail and when he access it, it's a stream to a room with a person that's tied to a chair and there are buttons on the side that any user can decide what happens to the person (poke right eye with pen / cut left hand with chainsaw etc.). The site shuts down or something like that but he becomes obsessed with trying to find it, goes on various shady websites and long story short he ends up on a forest path where eventually finds a mansion or something like that, approaches it and rings the gate, goes inside and something happens (forgot if he drank something or was just hit in the head) and wakes up with a hood on his head. He realizes eventually he's in the room he was obsessed to find.
One other short story was about some mad man that was in an asylum and he had some other dude outside that kept trying to find a way to get him out, or (again, I am not sure my memory is good on these stories, I remember bits and pieces and they were quite weird stories xD) or summon him somehow because he was the devil or something like that. He eventually transforms in a bat/moth/cockroach, something that can fit in through the jail window bars.
Another short story was something about a group of friends that were into the occult or something like that and they read from a book (which I think, though I might remember wrong, was written by the mad man from before) and then they kind of fall asleep and crazy things start happening, such as one of them starts killing them or something crazy.
Again, I am sure my memory is failing me a lot and I'm mixing probably bits and pieces and I'm probably also remembering wrong but this was a series of dark horror stories that felt quite amateurish but fairly well done (as far as I remember).
My girlfriend is looking for a name for her artist brand to use at exhibitions, instagram, and on a website. She does oil, acrylic, and watercolour. Painting on canvas and selling prints. She paints mainly abstract portraits.
We would like to have her name somehow incorporated into the brand name. Her name is "Elodie" or "El".
Many thanks!
Yes, you read that right. I've made a working deck of cards and a shuffler in minecraft. Just need a name for the place. Please make it as unhinged as you like
really anything helps!!
This is a little complicated to explain. So you know how anglicisation typically refers to taking a non-English name and altering it to be more English? I need a word for that but not English.
In my book there's 20+ cultures each of which have unique names. But in the annual event that combines cultures, those with the more cultural names are forced to go by a version that's easier for everyone (such as Freaghna to Frayna).
The main culture that forces this is the government of Darmeda but the world as a whole is called Vereint. I need a possible name idea for what this process could be called in their world.
Thanks.
