The naming challenges we solve

Real problems, built-in solutions.

AI alone misses the human touch

AI generates at scale, but human naming experts bring cultural awareness, wordplay, and creative leaps that algorithms miss. Get both in one platform.

Hiring a naming agency is expensive

Naming agencies charge $5,000-$50,000 per project. A NameStation contest starts at $60 and delivers 150+ expert-generated names in days, not weeks.

You need names from people who do this professionally

Our community of 651 naming experts has contributed to 8,754 contests. These are professionals who understand branding, linguistics, and domain strategy.

How it works

Go from blank page to registered domain in three steps.

1

Write your brief

Describe your business, target audience, naming preferences, and any constraints. The clearer the brief, the better the submissions.

2

Receive expert submissions

Naming experts compete to suggest the best names. Rate submissions as they come in to guide contributors toward your preferences.

3

Select and register

Review your favorites, combine with AI-generated options, and select the winner. Register the domain and launch your brand.

Platform features

Everything you need for a professional naming workflow.

AI + Human Hybrid

Guided Feedback Loop

Rate submissions as they arrive. Your feedback guides contributors toward your preferences, improving quality with each round.

Affordable Pricing

Frequently asked questions

How many names will I receive?
Typically 150+ name suggestions per contest. Featured and Top tier contests attract more contributors and often receive 200-300+ submissions.
How long does a contest take?
Most contests receive the majority of submissions within 3-5 days. You can keep the contest open for up to 2 months to collect more options.
Can I combine contest results with AI generation?
Yes. Every contest includes 1 month of Pro access, giving you included AI credits to supplement your contest submissions. Build your final shortlist from both sources.
What if I do not like any of the submissions?
Use the rating system to guide contributors toward your preferences. You can also extend the contest, update your brief, or use AI generators to explore additional directions.
Are the domain names checked for availability?
Contest submissions are checked for domain availability. You can also run any name through our real-time domain checker to verify availability across all extensions.
