A full Guided Strategic Naming project, from strategic foundation to the finished Decision Report.

Demonstration project. Business and names are fictional.

Most business name generators start by giving you hundreds of options.

Before you choose a name, get clear on what the name has to do.

That means the names are not just more interesting. They are easier to judge, easier to explain and more useful when the decision needs to be defended.

Who it is for

Built for serious naming decisions.

You work through it online in your own time. It suits decisions that matter enough to spend 45 to 90 minutes thinking properly.

  • Businesses renaming because the current name no longer fits
  • Founders who need a serious name before launch
  • Agencies running naming work for clients
  • Product and service teams naming something new
  • Leadership teams that need a shortlist they can justify
  • Organisations that need more than ChatGPT, but not a full agency process
How it works

Five stages from uncertainty to a defensible shortlist.

  1. Context

    Tell us what you are naming, why it matters and what the name needs to resolve. For renames, we also ask whether the new name should evolve from the current name or start fresh.

  2. Strategy

    We guide you through the WHAT, HOW and WHY of the business. This becomes the foundation for the naming work.

  3. Naming territories

    We turn your strategy into clear naming directions. Each territory gives the names a role, not just a style.

  4. Generation and feedback

    You receive a first round of names, each with rationale, scoring and risks. You respond, challenge, reject, save and refine.

  5. Decision report

    You receive a report with your strongest options, the evidence behind them and the next step. Use it with your board, business partner, internal team or client.

What makes it different

Most tools start with names.
We start with the decision.

Name generators optimise for volume. Agencies optimise for depth. Guided Strategic Naming sits between them.

What people say after they've been through it.

Unedited comments from founders, advisors and marketers who ran a naming project on the platform.

“It felt like a strategic naming thing, not an AI generator.”

Sam · Designer

“It feels different to AI name generators. It’s the strategic basis of them.”

Renee · Agency GM

“It genuinely felt like a strategic naming workshop that I could do at my own pace.”

Jono · Founder

“My ChatGPT didn’t crack it, but Re:name found that space and level of clarity.”

Fiona · Founder

“I started with ‘I could do this myself with AI.’ Afterwards I realised there was magic happening behind the scenes.”

David · Practitioner

“The names picked up on what I was saying, resonated, and came up with things I hadn’t thought about.”

Peter · Business Advisor

“It felt strategic. It felt like it was taking me somewhere.”

Jon · Business Advisor

“It felt strategic. It took me on a journey to solve a naming problem my own AI couldn’t. I tried!”

Decision Confidence Guarantee

If it doesn't land,
we make it right.

If you complete the process properly and do not have at least one name worth taking forward, we will review your project and either run one expert-guided refinement pass or refund you.

This guarantee is designed to protect serious users, not replace proper participation. The quality of your input and feedback matters.

What is included

Two Full Naming Runs.
One decision.

A Naming Run is one complete pass through the process: strategy, territories, naming rounds and decision report. Naming often becomes clearer once you see real options on the page. Your first run helps you define the territory. If it opens up a better question, you can do a second run using what you have learned.

Many users may find their answer in the first. Some sharpen with a second. This is not about generating endless names. It is about giving a serious decision enough space to develop.

The first run gives you options. The second helps you think better.

The obvious question

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Generating names is not the same as running a naming process.

Frequently asked

For people comparing Re:name to a generator.

No. AI is part of the system, but the product is a guided strategic naming process. The difference is structure. Re:name starts with business context, strategy, naming territories, decision criteria and feedback. Names are generated and judged against that framework. A generator gives you options. Re:name helps you make a decision.
A Naming Run is one complete pass through the Guided Strategic Naming process: strategy, territories, naming rounds, and a decision report. Your project includes up to two. Many users may complete the first run and have a clear front-runner. Some find that the first run clarifies a better question to ask, and use the second run to test that new direction with everything they have learned. The first run gives you options. The second helps you think better.
Yes, and it works well as a group. There is one project login, but the process is built to be filled in collaboratively. Gather your team around one screen and work through the strategy, reactions and decisions together, like a facilitated workshop at your own pace. A common approach: one person completes the first Naming Run and loads in all the background, then the wider group comes in for the second run to react to the names and reach a shared decision. However you run it, the more perspectives you bring in, the stronger and more defensible the final call.
Yes, and it is included. If you have already done the thinking, brand notes, board papers, consulting reports, strategy documents, you can upload them and the process reads them into your strategic foundation. You are not starting from a blank page. Re:name builds on the work you have already done, which is especially useful for teams who have run their own workshops and want that thinking to shape the names.
Because you are not buying a list of names. You are buying a structured decision process based on agency naming methodology. The alternative is usually either a free tool with no strategic judgement, or a full agency engagement starting from $10,000 to $50,000+. Guided Strategic Naming sits in the middle.
We occasionally provide access codes for founder programmes, education, not-for-profits and startup support initiatives. We do not position Re:name as the cheapest naming tool. But we do use access codes where there is a good reason to support a specific group. Ask us about access programmes.
This is what your two Full Naming Runs are for. The first run shows you territory options. If it has clarified what you are actually looking for, your second run tests that new direction with everything you have learned. If you have completed both runs thoughtfully and still do not have a name worth taking forward, we will review your project and either run an expert-guided refinement pass or refund you. The process works best when you give specific feedback between rounds.
Re:name provides early conflict signals and obvious brand-clash screening. This is not legal trademark clearance. Before adopting a final name, you should seek legal trademark advice in your relevant markets.
Re:name currently runs the strategic naming process in English. Names intended to carry meaning in another language, or operate in non-English markets, require additional linguistic validation before adoption.
Yes. Guided Strategic Naming can support businesses, renames, products, services and sub-brands. The process adapts based on what you are naming. Product and sub-brand projects require additional context around parent brand, audience, category and future naming architecture.
Yes. Agencies can use Re:name to support client naming projects, sharpen strategy and generate a defensible shortlist. For regular agency use, contact us about partner access.
Yes. That is exactly how the model is designed. Start with Guided Strategic Naming. If the decision needs senior judgement, use Expert Review. If the project needs full facilitation, move into a strategic naming engagement.
Your information stays private. Documents are processed in your browser and never stored on our servers. The strategically useful parts are extracted and used only for your naming project and your decision report. Your project is never shared with other users. We do not use it to train any model. You remain in control of what you choose to share, and many users complete strong naming projects without uploading any confidential documents at all. Your project, answers and final report are stored in our secure database for your access for 180 days, then deleted unless you ask us to retain them longer.
