As a long-time domain name holder with dozens of domains, I understand the time-consuming challenge of finding the perfect name for new ideas. Hours can be spent searching for available domains that resonate with my concepts. While inspiration often comes from competitors' names or simple keyword combinations, it remains a struggle.
Thanks to large language models (LLMs), this process has become much more efficient. LLMs can generate numerous domain name suggestions in seconds, and by leveraging programming languages, we can validate their availability through WHOIS servers and check various extensions to see if similar products exist under those names.
This is how Namefy was born. The domain name namefy.net
was generated using this very method. It has transformed a task that used to take hours into a matter of minutes, allowing me to focus on other crucial activities.
How to Use Namefy
Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively use this platform for searching and generating the ideal domain name for your business.
The domain name generator is intuitive and straightforward. The key to success lies in crafting a sentence that succinctly describes your business or idea. While a descriptive sentence is effective, incorporating specific keywords—like in the example above—enables the generator to focus on relevant terms rather than random words.
For instance, if I want to build a business around aggregating online news and performing sentiment analysis using LLMs, my primary keywords would be news
, llm
, and rss
.
One of my favorite naming conventions is the "ify" format. Many renowned companies, such as Spotify and Bitly, utilize this style. When combined with keywords, it often conveys a sense of transformation or action. For example, namefy.net
perfectly encapsulates the essence of generating names.
After clicking the Generate Domain Names
button, you’ll receive several suggestions. Requests to validate the availability of each domain will be sent simultaneously. You can view the generated domain names by clicking this link.
Names like newsify
, rssly
, and rssify
resonate well with the business concept I mentioned earlier. While newsify.com
is already taken, other extensions remain available, with no similar services currently associated with them.

panel for further information.
As illustrated above, both newsify.dev
and newsify.tech
are available. The only taken domain with a similar service is newsify.co
, which operates as an RSS feed reader. Since my original concept is to develop a news aggregation service using LLMs, this distinction is significant. For brand safety, it’s wise to check if newsify
is a registered trademark within your business sector.
If brand confusion is a major concern, consider alternatives like newsly.dev
, which currently has no associated services.
Here’s another example using the prompt api, scraping, llm
, ideal for those looking to provide an API through scraping, such as a Google SERP API.
I invite you to sign up and explore this platform. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’m here for any questions you may have.
Enjoy your journey in finding the perfect domain name!
