A Step-by-Step Guide for Naming Your Mobile Application

Naming a mobile application is one of the most crucial factors to ensure an app’s success. The first thing a user sees the moment they lay eyes on your app page on the store is the name of your application.

The catchier the app name is the greater are the chances that your app will not just attract eyeballs but also clicks on the install button.

While we have already covered How We Help Our Clients in Finalizing a Name for Their Mobile App? Let us here give you a step by step look into  how to go about naming your mobile application.

A. Research

The first stage of finalizing an app name for your startup is conducting proper research online. Start with seeing the names that the competitors have chosen and those that are ranking high on the Google SERPs. This primary level of research helps give an idea of what direction you should move in when finalizing the name of the application.

B. Write a sentence which describes what the app does

Once you have researched and now that you have a list of names that you don’t have to choose or go with, start with writing sentences that describes the application best. Doing this will help you get a clear picture of what the application stands for and it will also give you an idea of the track in which you should think to name your application.

C. Make a list of the prime words

Next to enlisting sentences that describe your apps best, create a list of prime words - words (single or double) that describes what your application does. These words can be the ones that highlight the main aim of your application.

After you have made the list of the main primary words, the next thing to do is to add supporting words that would help clarify the app’s meaning to the users in one go.

Once you have both the lists ready create combinations of the words and identify which one would go best with the aim of your mobile application.

D. Shortlist the name

The last part of the miniature guide is shortlisting one or two names out of the many that must have now become a part of your list.

There are multiple ways through which you can make the whole shortlisting process easier, starting with checking the availability of a domain name. See if there is a domain name available for the application you have chosen, for it is only ideal that you would eventually develop a website after creating a mobile app.

Once the route is applied, the next thing that you can do to shortlist the right name is get together a pool of stakeholders and your core team together and sit and brainstorm what the name should be finalized.

Now that we have looked at the pointers that the guide entails, it is time for you to share what you think the factor be to finalize an app name.
