Your startup's name
is stuck in your head.
We'll drag it out.
Tell us what you're building. We'll generate names that don't suck — and only show you ones with an available .com. No clichés. No “tech” suffixes. No embarrassment.
4,847 names generated. 612 founders escaped naming hell.
It's just a conversation.
A very opinionated one.
No forms. No checkboxes. The cat asks, you answer, names appear.
Processed. Here are names with available .com domains:
Each name is checked against RDAP in real time. Only available .com domains shown.
The naming experience, historically
Domain taken
You had the perfect name. A 19-year-old registered it in 2007 and has never once used it.
Generic slop
"NexGen" was available. So was "VentureFlow". The naming tool was very proud of both.
Founder block
You've been staring at a blank domain registrar for four hours. Your co-founder is losing faith.
Sixty seconds to a name
you won't hate.
No forms. No dropdown checkboxes. Just a conversation.
STEP 01
Chat about your idea
Describe what you're building. Who it's for. What feeling you want. The cat listens. The cat has opinions.
STEP 02
Pick a vibe
Quiet Luxury? Friendly Weird? Internet Native? Choose a direction — or let us surprise you. Both are valid.
STEP 03
Get available names
We return ~10 names. Every single one has a verified .com available. Pick your favorite. Claim it before someone else does.

Every generation, you choose the energy. We send our best cat to match it.
Too Cool to Rush
Too premium to explain itself. Understated and expensive-sounding.
In Your Face
Go in loud, come out famous. One word. Lands like a headline.
Wonderfully Odd
Weird enough to actually work. Warm but unexpected. People ask about it.
Dead Serious
The name that does not apologize. For when investors need to say it without wincing.
Very Online
Made for the feed and the DM. Fluent in lowercase. Knows what a monad is.
Surprise Me
Let the engine decide. You describe it, we go feral. Trust the process.
Paid in treats. 🐟
One treat = one full naming session. Simple. No hidden fees. The cat demands fish, not fine print.
“Can't I just ask ChatGPT?”
Yes. It will give you names with confidence and zero domain awareness. You'll spend the next hour discovering that all of them are taken.

Straightforward answers.
The questions we actually get asked.
How is this different from ChatGPT for naming?
ChatGPT doesn't check domain availability. It will suggest names with full confidence that turn out to be taken, trademarked, or actively used by a competitor. Every name kickass.name returns has been checked against RDAP in real time — if it's in your results, the .com was available at the moment of generation.
Are the domains really available?
We check against RDAP (the domain registration protocol) in real time as you chat. A name only appears in your results if the .com was available at that moment. Domain availability can change fast — popular names can be scooped within minutes. Register the one you like before someone else does.
What's a 'treat' and how do they work?
One treat equals one full naming conversation — from your initial description through vibe selection to a batch of results. The free plan gives you 5 treats per month. Founder plan: 60/month ($12). Studio plan: 200/month ($29). Agency plan: unlimited ($99). Top-up packs are also available without changing your plan.
What if I don't like any of the names?
Try a different vibe. The same brief produces very different names across the six vibes. If 'Quiet Luxury' gives you names that feel too corporate, run 'Very Online' or 'Wonderfully Odd' on the same brief. Within a session, you can also direct the cat — tell it what's not working and it adjusts.
Can I use this if I'm not a tech startup?
The cat doesn't care about your industry. Restaurants, consulting firms, podcasts, e-commerce brands, law practices — the naming principles are the same. We have dedicated pages for most of these use cases. The vibe selector is particularly useful: 'Quiet Luxury' works for premium hospitality; 'Dead Serious' works for professional services.
How do agencies use this differently?
Studios on the Agency plan use kickass.name to produce 2–3 naming directions before client workshops. Brief in, vibe select, 10 names per direction. That's 20–30 starting points before the first client call. Client workspaces keep each project's history separate; CSV export makes it easy to drop into a deck.
Your name isn't going
to name itself.
