The buzzing startup scene is full of great ideas, and some of those ideas may share a name. While two businesses can certainly have the same name, you want to make sure that you’re unique in your business or product category.

To make sure someone else isn’t using the name you want, try two tools: the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and search engines. Through the USPTO, you can look up your chosen brand name to see if any other company has registered it for trademark protection. On search engines, you can see if any business is actively using your chosen name.

Use a business name generator
A business name generator like Namecheap’s can help overseas data you come up with inspired ideas for a startup name. Just submit a few words related to your startup and the generator will offer up a variety of creative options. Use one of these names as-is or look to them as a starting point for your own ideas.
