Client brief

Hi,

I'm starting a new software development consulting company and I need a name. First off, I don't think I need an exact .com to be available. So if the brand name were FooBar, foobar.net or foobarinc.com or foobarllc.com could be fine. I'd rather have a great brand name and have a URL that is a little off from the brand.

It will be a small consulting company. We will have very talented software developers that build web and mobile projects, usually for enterprises and established internet companies, but occasionally for startups. Competitors would be http://pivotallabs.com, http://www.thoughtworks.com, http://www.thoughtbot.com, http://thinkrelevance.com. We won't have a particular industry focus for clients. Rather, we will focus on the methodology of building software. Things like Agile Software Development and Lean Startup. We will also be pretty unusual in that our developers have a good business sense about them and will think about more than just building to spec. They like to figure out a solution to the Real Problem to make sure the end customer is getting value.

I've been toying around with names but not getting anywhere great. I was playing with a Football motif (don't ask the reason), so the word Tackle or even TackleBox seemed to have potential. But I couldn't make them work with anything. Other words that seemed to be interesting were "facet" (our problems tend to be unique and our consultants have pretty varied interests) and "deep" (our projects tend to be bigger and longer...several developers for months.) Bantam also seemed interesting, because I'm small and can be fiesty.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Naming tips for Software Development Consulting Company

Keep it pronounceable

A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.

.com still beats clever TLDs

Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.

Avoid trademark traps

Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.

Test it in a sentence

Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
