  • Available on social media  (if you are going to be active on social media)
  • Check if it’s available on ShopZaka
  • Google it
  •  Ask friends and family what they think
  •  Avoid trademarked names

 Check social media handles for any matche

Tips for Naming Your Shop

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Try

  •  Descriptive names (e.g., GlowPrints)
  •  Abstract names (e.g., Minti, Swayz)
