I've noticed how a lot of businesses are [adjective] [animal].

The Beached Whale The Blue Monkey WiseOwl StockFish XHamster

Even better if that describes your product: MailChimp, SurveyMonkey

For style points, pick an imaginary animal like Dragon or Unicorn.

Holy grail: describes your product, rhymes (SoundHound)

This is the ultimate guide to naming products and companies https://www.igorinternational.com/process/i/Igor%20Naming%20... Their ultimate rule of thumb is to not be that descriptive. Your company name should be memorable instead. You want to be distinctive, not blend in with your competitors

>not be that descriptive It says the same about product naming but this flies in the face of both app store naming conventions which means your app name should be descriptive as possible to benefit from the rudimentary search ranking. e.g. Duplicate Photo Deleter Pro Space Freer

On the other side: procreate Or latest: procreate dreams
