App name generator: short, brandable app name ideas
Type a few keywords about your app and get hundreds of name ideas – then check each one on Google Play and the App Store in one click.
How to choose a great app name
A good app name is easy to say, easy to spell and easy to find. It also has to fit the store limits: both Google Play and the App Store allow up to 30 characters for the app name – and on most phones only the first 12–15 characters appear under the icon.
Brandable vs descriptive names
- Brandable names (like an invented word) are memorable and easier to trademark, but say less about what the app does.
- Descriptive names include a keyword such as “budget” or “workout”. They help store search but are harder to own.
- A popular approach is both: a short brand plus a keyword, for example “Fitly: Home Workout”.
Check before you decide
- Search Google Play and the App Store (use the links on each idea) to avoid names already in use.
- Check that a matching domain name and social media handles are free.
- Search your country’s trademark database (for example USPTO in the US or the UK IPO) before you invest in branding.
- Say it out loud and ask a few friends to spell it after hearing it once.
- Avoid words that suggest store rankings, such as “best”, “top” or “#1” – Google Play does not allow them in app names.
Frequently asked questions
How long can an app name be?
Up to 30 characters on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. Shorter is better – usually only the first 12–15 characters show under the icon on a phone.
Can two apps have the same name?
Stores may allow similar names, but using a name another company already uses can lead to trademark complaints and removal. Always search the stores and trademark databases first.
Should my app name include keywords?
Adding one relevant keyword can help store search, especially on the App Store. Keep the brand part first and make sure the name still reads naturally.
Are these app names free to use?
The ideas are free suggestions. They are not checked for trademarks or availability, so search the stores, domains and trademark records before you use one.
