Your questions, answered

  • The business name generator is a feature that works within Canva’s AI text generation tool, Magic Write. You can access it across Canva’s Visual Suite. Magic Write is an AI text generator tool powered by OpenAI that can create all kinds of text inspiration, from business name ideas and business plans, to ad copy and social media content, and more. You can use it to brainstorm ideas, outline and organize your content, and come up with a quick first draft for you. 

    To use Magic Write as a business name idea generator, you simply need to type in a prompt. For example: “10 business name ideas for a flower shop” then describe what your business does. Be as detailed as you can – the more context Magic Write gets, the better your business name ideas will be. The business names suggested by the generator are ideas and should be used as inspiration only. It’s important to make edits to the business name ideas and check to make sure you can use the final name that you come up with.

  • To generate a good or catchy business name, you need to consider the following:

    • What does your business offer? What is your USP or unique selling point?
    • Who’s your target market?
    • What are your brand values?

    Once you have all these ideas locked and loaded, you can use them to brainstorm business name ideas. The clearer your business vision is, the easier you can come up with name ideas. You want your business name not just to be catchy but also original and timeless. Consult dictionaries, books, and other content – including your competitors. If you’re still not satisfied, use our business name generator. Type in your business vision into Magic Write and ask it to list business name ideas for you and voila – more brilliant business name ideas to choose from. Make sure you can use the final name before adding the name to your marketing collateral and other brand assets.
