Where you want the name
Instagram, Threads, X, Twitch and Reddit don't show it to a checker, so their chip links to the profile page. If the page is missing, the name is free.
Get your names
A blog name is the first thing a reader sees in Google, and it usually becomes your domain too.
This free blog name generator writes blog names for your niche, checks each one's .com and social handles live, and scores it out of 100.
Here's how to use it, what Google says about site names, and how to pick one you'll keep.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a blog name generator?
A blog name generator is a tool that writes blog name ideas from your niche and your angle.
Mine checks the .com and the social handles of each name, then scores it so the best come first.
How to use the blog name generator
A real example
Here's the Try an example input: a blog about budget travel and slow travel, in the Creative style. The top five of the 15 names it wrote:
- Score
- 73
- The .com
- trailmirth.com, free
- YouTube handle
- Free
- Score
- 73
- The .com
- leantrails.com, free
- YouTube handle
- Free
- Score
- 73
- The .com
- slownomad.com, taken
- YouTube handle
- Taken
- Score
- 73
- The .com
- budgettrek.com, taken
- YouTube handle
- Taken
- Score
- 68
- The .com
- wanderpace.com, taken
- YouTube handle
- Free
Trail Mirth and Lean Trails have both the .com and the YouTube handle free, so those are the 2 I'd look at first.
Slow Nomad reads well, but its .com is taken, and a blog whose domain doesn't match its name loses readers who type it.
What Google says about site names
Google shows a site name above your pages in search results, and it has 3 rules for picking one:
Choose a unique name that accurately reflects the identity of your site and isn't misleading for users.
Use a concise, commonly-recognized name for your site
Avoid using a generic name.
So "Best Travel Tips" is out, and a name that's yours alone is in. Use it the same way everywhere, from your logo to your home page title.
Does a keyword in the name help SEO?
Barely. Google's own SEO starter guide says "the keywords in the name of the domain (or URL path) alone have hardly any effect beyond appearing in breadcrumbs."
A keyword still tells a reader what the blog is about at a glance. Use one if it reads well, and skip it if it makes the name clunky.
Blog name or blog title?
They sound alike but do different jobs:
- What it is
- Your brand, as Google shows it above your pages
- Example
- Budget Bites
- What it is
- The address people type
- Example
- budgetbites.com
- What it is
- The title of 1 post
- Example
- 21 Cheap Dinners Under $5
Keep the blog name and the domain the same when you can, so people who hear one can find the other.
How the score works
Every name gets a score out of 100, and you see each part of it. The parts weigh differently for a personal brand, a business and a creator:
- Personal brand
- 25 points

- 25 points
- Personal brand
- 20 points
- Business

A name that breaks a platform's rules is capped at 40, since you can't register it there. A platform I can't check counts as half free until you open its chip and see.
After you pick a name
Register the .com before you tell anyone, then claim the handles. The username checker checks one name on every platform at once.
Then set up your blog. My guide on how to start a blog walks through the rest.
Who is the blog name generator for?
It's for anyone starting a blog or a newsletter:
- How to start a blog – new bloggers setting up the rest
- Domain availability checker – anyone whose .com is taken
- Username checker – anyone claiming the blog's handles
Pick the name first, then the domain and the handles follow.
