Here are examples of fresh, cool IT names we’ve just listed …

Characteristics to a Great IT Company Name

To begin with, when our Brand Development Team develops IT company and startup names, we always consider that IT companies need to be considered on the cutting edge and ahead of technology. Your IT name needs to foster an emotional connection within your potential customers and your target market.  IT company names need to convey that your company, service or product will solve your customers problems.

Our developers have taken strides to keep these IT Company names short.  In general the best tech names are short, having fewer than eleven characters. The more letters in a name the more opportunity there is for someone to misspell or mistype your name into a browser.

The Killer Panda developers have stayed away from funky spellings. An unusual spelling in a company name may sound cute at first, but could really mix up potential customers. While we like cool IT names and clever names, we stay away from names that try to be too cool or too clever.

Many IT developers don’t consider that they may be expanding in the future. If you’re considering expanding, it’s important not to have a limiting company name. A name should be expandable to allow for product extensions and industry changes. Some names keep the option open for significant expansion, while others may be highly specialized and targeted.

With rare exception, a cool IT business name should not contain numbers or hyphens. There are very, very few exceptions to this rule. Hyphens, numbers and other non-alphabetic symbols will just confuse people; they’re also really hard to communicate.  You have to imagine that people will be telling others about your company, would they be able to tell people where the hyphen goes?

Tips on how to Name an IT Company

The first key aspect of a great IT company name, is to be free of trademark infringement issues. The second aspect, is that you must be able to obtain the dot-com domain name. One of the biggest challenges of naming architecture agencies is creating a great name only to find it in use somewhere around the world.

You can take advantage of the free trademark search function the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) database at USPTO Search. It is super easy and best part… it’s free.

The dot-com extension remains firmly the suffix of choice for tech businesses desiring established credentials. To see if the name is available, just type it into your menu bar. You can also check out the history of any domain name through the free Whois Domain History or DomainTools History Search functions.
