Coming up with a good name / rebrand is seriously the part I struggle with the most for working on an early stage startup. Maybe I'm overthinking it

Constraints help! Picking things like “no more than 5 letters” and has “XYZ vibe” and “has some association with ABC”. Then just go hunting for a great domain version of it. As long as the name isn’t explicitly bad, you can basically grow into and sculpt whatever you pick however you want over time.

Branding is pretty important. It’s basically the personality of what you’re building… …and it’s easy to overthink. Products can be successful even with mediocre brands. Early stage it’s often better to launch and get feedback than it is to wait for the perfect brand. We HAD a pretty sick brand which are no longer able to use, so we decided to go with a pretty generic /bcard brand for now until we can get our shit together. We didn’t want to delay and I don’t regret it.

No, you’re not. Brand recall value has a lot to do with the name. I want in on brainstorming!

Go with your gut! “Bountycaster” is extremely niche and not very sexy tbh and look how far you’ve gotten with it, names don’t matter that much

Overthinking it is pretty much a standard practice since it's an extension of you and feels like something that you're going to live with forever (which is true, but not really). I actually believe that brands are defined more through their experience than their design (sacrilege from a practitioner, I know). There are so many examples of shitty names that became household fixtures, I mean why does a law firm brand succeed? Its just a bunch of names. Reputation, its succeed through reputation (and repetition, but that's a different conversation). So, if I can offer a take it would be, get to a place where you feel good about it and then pull the trigger. Its the other 90% that goes into the name that truly matters and will ultimately define who and what you are building. ✌️ 😁
