How nameslop judges a name
nameslop tells you whether a product name works, compares options side by side and suggests new ones. It works for software and for any other product: apps, stores, restaurants, podcasts, clothing brands.
What you get
A score from 0 to 100 and a verdict: good name, has issues, or doesn’t work.
Four separate scores: how easy it is to say and spell, how much it stands out, how well it sounds like what it is, and how available it is.
Clear warnings when a name is the generic word for its category, sounds like an offensive word in your market, or is already used by a well-known project.
Where the name is free, across domain extensions, app stores and code registries, with links to register a free domain.
What the name means, if anything, in the languages you chose.
What the judgment is based on
Every score follows published research in marketing, linguistics and search. Some checks are exact, some are looked up live when you ask, and some are estimates made with AI. Each reason in the app says which kind it is and names the study behind it.
Suggestions come from your own words and from ideas of your industry in the languages you choose, and they are ranked with the same judgment. For products people reach by typing the address, names with an available .com come first.
Languages
Names can be judged and suggested for English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Turkish, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, and Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Russian written in Latin letters (romaji, pinyin and transliteration). The interface is in English and Spanish.
What it does not do
It is not legal advice and does not search trademark registries. A name that scores well can still be registered by someone else.
The overall score is a guide built from research, not a guarantee of success.
Availability changes. A free domain today can be taken tomorrow.
AI estimates can be wrong. They are labeled so you can weigh them.
