What makes a good marketplace name? +
Short, spellable, and sayable — ideally under four syllables. The strongest names suggest exchange, discovery, or community without locking the platform into one product category. See the naming guide for the full process.
Are MarketMint names free to use? +
Not automatically. Generated names are brainstorming suggestions, not trademark-cleared brands. Search the exact name on Google, check domain registrars, and run a trademark search in your country before committing.
Does MarketMint check domain availability? +
No. MarketMint runs entirely in your browser with no backend, so it cannot query domain registrars or trademark databases. Every result is a starting point — verify availability yourself.
Should my marketplace name describe what I sell? +
Only for a tightly specialized vertical marketplace. General marketplaces do better with abstract or coined names; descriptive names ease early marketing but can force a painful rebrand when you expand.
Can I use "market" or "marketplace" in my business name? +
Yes, but it implies a platform where multiple sellers operate. If you are the sole seller, "trading", "exchange", or "supply" may set better expectations.
How do I check if a marketplace name is taken? +
Four checks: exact-name Google search, domain registrar lookup, social-handle availability, and your country's trademark database (USPTO TESS in the US). Check other languages too if you'll operate internationally. More detail in naming mistakes to avoid.
Is my shortlist private? +
Yes. Generation uses crypto.getRandomValues() locally in your browser. Nothing is sent over the network, no cookies are set, and nothing is stored. See the privacy page.
What are the biggest marketplace naming mistakes? +
Sounding like an existing platform, locking into one category or geography, failing the spell-after-hearing test, keyword-stuffed generic names, ignoring other languages, building on an unownable domain, and skipping the trademark search. Full breakdown: naming mistakes.
