The Name Design tool uses a five step process:
1. Analyze an existing name or configure parameters for creating a new name.
2. Verfiy name(s).
3. Decompose chosen name.
4. Layout name.
5. Make report.

1. Create new name

-Results: generate 1 – 25 unique names.
-Length: set length (3 – 10) characters for names.
-Uppercase first: uppercase the first character in each word of the name.
-Domains: check if a certain top domain is available for each name. Domains are displayed in green if available and grayed if occupied. Click any name to perform a whois lookup for the specific domain. This givs you all the information one might need if it's already registered. The checkbox "Only find names with available domains" makes it possible only displays names with any of the checked top domains available.
Character set: the name engine randomizes names using the chosen characters according to chosen patterns (se below). Only checked character groups (or "Other characters") will be used when randomizing.

Pattern

-Double chars: two copies of the same character in o row at a random position in the generated name. Choose vowels (ex: Google) or consonants (ex: Twitter).
-Embed word: embed a word or word part into the generated names. Either type in your own word, choose from dropdown list or choose “Random word” which uses random words from the list.
-Set prefix|suffix: enter a name prefix, a suffix or both.
Press create until you find interesting names. Adjust parameters to tailor customized names. Add favourite names to "My Names" by clicking the star next to the name.
Your chosen pattern will be highlighted in green in your names. Toggle highlighted on/off to read the names with different focus.

2. Verify names

The name engine looks for inappropriate words (swearwords etc.) in each name. If anything is found is displayed after the name, else a green check box is displayed. Evaluate if possible findings effect the name choice and cancel inappropriate names.

3. Decompose name

The name gets decomposed into all english words which can be found inside it, thus showing the values and signals its conveys.

4. Layout name

Create your own layout using different fonts, colors and domain extensions.

5. Make report

The result is put together in a quality report which easily can be e-mailed or saved as PDF.
