What aspects does NameScore check?

NameScore examines several aspects of your name – from classic trademark research and marketing chances in the online world, all the way to phoneme evaluation based on the sounds that make up the name. NameScore's checks cover legal*, marketing-oriented and aesthetic aspects.

The tests carried out answer the following aspects of your name, among others:

  • Trademark search – Is your name or a similar name already protected as a trademark?
  • Domain Availability – Which top-level domains are available?
  • Search engine / AppStore availability – Is your name already frequently found in popular search engines and AppStores?
  • Social media availability – In which social networks is your name already used?
  • Hidden potentials and stumbling blocks – Does your name contain (foreign-language) terms?
  • Sound – What are the sound characteristics of your name? Is it a hard or a soft name? What feelings does it evoke?

The NameScore team is constantly working on extending the NameReport. The NameReport is therefore regularly expanded to include additional content.
