If you are like me-and I know we are quite a number- , coming up with the perfect name for your dream business or a product that’s about to be launched is a daunting task.

Let’s face it, names do matter.

What if Java was originally named “Njunguna’s coffee shop”, I highly doubt it would have the same luster attached to the brand name as it does today.

That’s where a random name generator comes in handy; And Google gives you loads of them.

But,Naminum is one that impressed me. The others tend to look pretty ugly and are rather basic in the options available. At the other end of the spectrum, there are some with more advanced options, but they’re still not that usable.

Naminum, however, just asks you to fill in a word or two (or leave it blank if you just want a huge list) to get started.

So, take ‘bubble’ for example. By default it suggests an option with the vowels replaced, one with the consonants replaced, the original backwards and a few other variations.

Below this, it shows the original search term, plus additional letters added. To keep it neat and organized, it shows all the options with one, two, three, four, or more letters added in their own sections. Each suggestion also follows a pattern (except randomized one, obviously), like ending in ‘ie’, or ‘tium’.

If you want to prepend something to your search term, there’s a separate tab of suggestions just for that, making it nice and easy to pick your way through rather than presenting everything in one huge list.
