The right name makes all the difference.

A great name captures attention, sparks curiosity, and sticks in the mind. It sets the tone for everything your brand stands for — and helps you carve out space in a crowded market.

At Hotfoot, we create names that are distinctive, meaningful, and made to last. Whether you’re naming a new business, brand, product or campaign, we combine strategic insight with creative exploration to land on a name that truly fits — and resonates with the people you want to reach.

Get a name that’s made to last. Let’s talk.


 

More than just a name

Your name is often the first thing people hear, see, and say about your brand. It needs to sound right, feel natural, and spark recognition — across everything from signage to search results.

That’s why our naming process doesn’t start with a list of words. It starts with listening — to your story, your audience, your goals, and your vision for the future.

We explore the space you’re operating in, map out the competitive landscape, and build clarity around what your name needs to communicate — from emotional tone to practical function.

Then we get creative. Our team generates a wide range of ideas — from evocative and expressive to clean and classic — before narrowing in on the strongest options. We test for distinctiveness, domain availability, cultural nuance and longevity, before working with you to choose the name that feels just right.

Ready to find a name with meaning? We’re in. Get in touch.


 

What we deliver

At the end of the process, you’ll walk away with a shortlist of strategically aligned, creatively compelling name options — all ready to trademark, brand and launch.

We can also provide tone of voice guidance, straplines, messaging frameworks, and visual identity design — so your new name is supported by everything it needs to thrive.


 

Let’s find the name that fits — and lasts

Whether you’re starting from a blank page or wrestling with a name that doesn’t quite work, we’d love to help you find something that’s not only right — but unforgettable.
