Tips for Choosing a Software Name

• Prioritize domain availability — For software products, having the .com or .co.za domain is crucial. Check domain availability before falling in love with a name.
• Keep it short and typeable — Users should be able to type your software name quickly into a browser or app store search. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and complex spellings.
• Consider app store search — Include keywords that users might search for. A name that hints at your software function can improve discoverability in app stores.
• Think global, act local — While your software may serve a global audience, a uniquely South African name can be a powerful differentiator in the international market.
• Avoid generic terms — Names like “Task Manager” or “Budget App” are hard to trademark and easy to confuse with competitors. Aim for something distinctive.
