NameGenie review
A free, UK-focused naming tool pairing 20 ideas with domain and Companies House signals.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NameGenie is a free AI business-name generator for solo founders and small businesses that want UK-oriented screening alongside idea generation. Describe the business, audience, offer and preferences, then receive 20 suggestions. Naming-style and domain-extension controls let users steer the output, while an option to check a name already under consideration supports follow-up research. The tool runs on the web and is also listed for browser-extension deployment.
The free scope covers name generation and initial checks. Each suggestion can include domain signals, and NameGenie can create ideas built around selected domain endings. It also performs an initial exact-name check against Companies House records, giving UK users an early indication of potential conflicts. Recent searches are stored locally on the device, and results can be shared through links. Optional domain, company-formation and website services are separate paid steps rather than part of the core generator.
NameGenie’s focus is breadth within the naming workflow rather than a full brand-clearance system. Its Companies House check is limited to exact-name matching, and domain or company signals are preliminary evidence—not a reservation, registration approval or trademark clearance. Users still need to verify names with the relevant registrar or authority. There is no social-check or logo-preview feature, and support is provided through documentation. Choose NameGenie when UK company screening and domain-oriented brainstorming matter; consider a broader naming or legal-search service when global availability, trademark research or social-handle checks are central.
