Startup Map Hub

Name it. Check it. Own it.

Every name you love has been taken since 2011. Tell us what you're building — we'll find the ones that haven't.

Find my name

Ten names free. No card. If all ten are taken, we'll find you ten more.

You already know how this goes.

You open a spreadsheet. You write down twenty names. Eighteen are taken, one sounds like a law firm, and the one you actually like costs $30,000 on an aftermarket broker site.

Naming isn't the hard part. Checking is. And it's the part that eats your evening.

Describe it. We'll do the rest.

1
Tell us what you're building

No brief, no worksheet. Describe it the way you'd explain it to a friend — “walking tours of a city's history”, “a CRM for florists”, whatever it is. That's enough to start.
2
Get ten names, grouped by idea

Not a scrambled list. Ten names sorted into the angles they came from — one family built on time, another on the walking itself, another on the streets, another on the storytelling — so you can see the directions your name could take, not just ten words that all mean the same thing.
3
Check only the ones you like

Press Check .com on a name and get the answer in a second or two. No tab-switching to a registrar, no wading through eight names you'd never use to reach the two you would.

Generating names is easy. Knowing which ones you can actually have is the part nobody has solved well.

Grouped, not scrambled

Most tools hand you ten unrelated words — or worse, ten words that are all the same idea wearing different costumes. We build each family from a genuinely different angle: what it does, who it's for, where it happens, the picture it puts in your head.

Check as you go

You don't get a list and then go and check each one somewhere else. Press the button on a name, get the answer on the same row. We only ask the registry about names you point at.

Nothing free stays hidden

A name that comes back free is yours to register at any registrar, today. We say so on the page rather than quietly hoping you'll buy it from us — we don't sell domains.

Why this exists

We built it doing this by hand, once.

Elias M.J was starting a travel company — trips built around history — and wanted a one-word name he could actually own. So we sat down and did it manually: generate a batch with AI, copy each name into a registrar, check it, go back, try again. Most of an evening to get through a list, and most of that evening spent on the checking rather than the naming.

That's the part worth automating, so we did. He ended up with equatrail.com.

Everything on this page is that same process, without the evening.

Ten names, on us.

Free to anyone with an idea — no card, no membership, no survey first. And if all ten come back taken, that's a bad afternoon rather than your fault, so we'll find you ten more from angles the first set didn't touch.

Start naming

Questions people ask first

Does checking a name mean I have to register it right away?

No. Check as many as you like — registering happens at a domain registrar, not here, whenever you're ready. Worth knowing: a free .com can be taken by someone else the same day, so a name you're sure about is worth registering while you're sure.

What if all ten names miss the mark?

Describe it differently and we'll go again — a second description often lands somewhere the first didn't reach. And if all ten came back taken rather than wrong, we'll give you ten more free, built from angles the first set didn't touch.

Do you only check .com?

Right now, yes. It's the one most founders actually want, and one clean answer per name beats four half-answers.

Is "available" the same as trademark-safe?

No. We check whether the domain is registered, which is a different question from whether the name is free of trademarks. If the name matters to you, search your local trademark register before you print anything.

Do I need an account?

Yes, but nothing else — no card and no plan. The account is what keeps your names and your answers when you close the tab.

Stop losing evenings to a spreadsheet.
