Brand Name Checker
One name, one search — domains, social handles, and a 0–100 BrandScore that tells you if you can actually own it.
Stop checking a name in five tabs
A name isn't yours because the .com is free. You need the domain across the extensions that matter, the social handles to match, and a name that actually reads like a brand. Checking that by hand means a domain tool, a social checker, and a lot of guessing. Namizy does all of it in one pass and gives you a single number — the BrandScore — so you can compare candidates at a glance instead of squinting at twelve browser tabs.
Why our "available" is more trustworthy
Most all-in-one checkers read from a cached database and tell you a domain is free when it was registered last week. Namizy queries each registry's authoritative RDAP server in real time, so the availability you see is the registry's live truth at the second you searched — the same source registrars use. The social side probes each platform's public profile directly.
Do it in the right order
Generate distinctive candidates (AI generator), score the best ones here, then secure the domain and claim the handles the same day — both are first-come, first-served. Need the full registry record on a taken name? Use the WHOIS lookup. Comparing extensions? See the .io vs .com guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the BrandScore?
A single 0–100 read on how ownable a name is, combining three buckets: domain availability across the brandable startup TLDs (.com weighted heaviest, then .io/.ai/.co/.app/.net), how many of the 8 social handles are free, and a brandability heuristic on the name itself (length, characters, single word). It is guidance, not a guarantee.
Is the domain availability real-time?
Yes. Domains are checked live against each registry's authoritative RDAP server at the moment you search — not a cached database. That is why a name can read 'available' here when stale checkers elsewhere still show it free (or vice-versa).
Which TLDs and platforms are checked?
Domains: .com, .io, .ai, .co, .app and .net — the set startups actually buy in 2026. Social: Twitter/X, Instagram, GitHub, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn and Pinterest. LinkedIn blocks automated checks entirely, so its chip always says 'check manually' and links to the company page for the name — one click to verify yourself.
Does a high BrandScore mean the name is legally clear?
No. The BrandScore measures availability and brandability, not trademark or legal risk. Every result does include a Trademark section: Namizy queries the EUIPO register live for LIVE word marks that exactly match your name and warns you when one exists, plus direct links into the official registers — TMview (112M+ marks worldwide, including USPTO), opened pre-filled with your name, and the USPTO US register. Finding no exact match is NOT a legal clearance: similar marks, other registers, and the classes they cover still matter. A LIVE identical or similar mark in your industry is a real conflict even when the domain is free. For anything serious, talk to a trademark professional — this tool is not legal advice.
The score is low — what now?
Try a more distinctive, invented or two-word compound name (the style most modern startups use) in the AI generator — brandable names tend to have both the .com and the handles free. Re-score until you find one that's green across the board.
Can I use this as a business name checker?
Yes — it's a brand name checker and business name checker in one. Before you commit a business name, it confirms in a single pass whether the domain is free across the key TLDs, whether the social handles are open, and how ownable the name is overall (the BrandScore) — so you check a business name everywhere at once instead of tool by tool.
