What NameCraftr does
NameCraftr uses AI to generate business name ideas from your description and checks domain availability in real time - including .com.au, .au, and .com for every suggestion. Most name generators only check .com. For an Australian business, that is not enough: customers instinctively search for local businesses using .com.au, and the .au extension (introduced in 2022) is increasingly standard for newer Australian brands.
The result is a single screen where you can describe your business, generate name ideas, and immediately see which names are available across all three extensions. No switching between tools. No manually verifying availability after the fact.
Looking for something more specific than a general business name? The company name generator is a better fit if “company” suits your business more than “business,” the brand name generator is built for product- and brand-focused naming with trademark guidance, and the startup name generator is tuned for VC-ready names. Building specifically with AI in mind? The AI business name generator generates ideas straight from your business description.
Why domain checks matter for Australian businesses
A name available as .com.au is worth more than the same name only available as .com - because Australian customers, suppliers, and search engines treat .com.au as the signal of a legitimate local business. If you find a name you want and the .com.au is already taken, you need to know that before you invest in branding, design, or incorporation paperwork.
NameCraftr runs the availability check as each suggestion is generated, so you are only seeing names that are actually available to register right now - or run any name you already have in mind through the standalone domain name generator or domain name checker directly. No need to fall in love with a name and then discover it is gone.
What NameCraftr checks - and what it does not
NameCraftr checks domain availability across .com, .com.au, and .au. It does not check the ASIC Business Names Register, the IP Australia trade mark database, or the ABN Lookup. These are separate checks you will need to run yourself before committing to any name.
The domain check is the fastest first filter - if the .com.au is taken, everything else is moot. Once you have a name that passes the domain check, the recommended next steps for Australian founders are:
- Search the ASIC Business Names Register at asic.gov.au
- Search IP Australia trade marks at ipaustralia.gov.au in your relevant class
- Verify .com.au eligibility: the domain must closely relate to your registered business name, and you need an ABN to register it
NameCraftr is the first step. The checks above are what turn a good name idea into a name you can actually own. If you want the full generator experience built specifically around business naming, the business name generator is the same tool with a deeper how-to guide alongside it.
